Trip difficulty: 3 out of 5 possible. Rated: Moderate.

Tour Highlights: Horseback Riding – Þingvellir National Park- Silfra Fissure- Snorkeling 

Tour details:
– Wear glasses? Since you are wearing snorkeling/dive goggles to see underwater there can be nothing in the way of the seal to keep them from filling up with water. That is, you cannot wear glasses underneath the goggles. You will have to go without them, wear eye lenses or bring your own prescription goggles.

This is the perfect horse riding tour to experience pure-bred Icelandic Horses. On this tour we go for a trek on the hardy, sure-footed Icelandic horse to be an experience to remember. Whether you are a beginner or expert, old or young, these friendly horses, with their alert and willing nature are indeed a pleasure to ride in their natural surroundings.

We start off Snorkeling in Silfra as our first adventure. The Silfra fissure is one of Iceland’s otherworldly scenes that is world famous for its heavenly shades of blue. With more than 80 meters of visibility under the water, it is a sight not forgotten! The snorkeling is a relaxing but exotic trip in an unbelievably beautiful environment.

Next up we are off to the Laxnes Horse farm. There you can buy lunch (or enjoy the one you brought) and have refreshments. Then we will ride across the countryside on the beautiful Icelandic horse and an expert guide leading the way. Afterward, you will be dropped off at your accommodation in the Reykjavík area.
