Experience

Full description

This full-day combined snorkeling and lava caving adventure tour starts with pickup from Reykjavik. As the conditions in Iceland vary greatly between seasons, visit one of two different lava caves. As you explore the hidden world beneath one of Iceland‘s lava fields, enjoy the opportunity to discover firsthand the marvels created by past volcanic activity.

Accompanied by a certified guide, experience the wonders of the lava tube cave and hear all there is to know about the formation of the cave. Snorkeling in Silfra is your second adventure of this combo tour, although this can vary. Silfra fissure is one of Iceland’s best-kept secrets, an otherworldly scene that is famous for its heavenly shades of blue.

Located in the heart of the historic site of Thingvellir National Park, the crystal-clear water gives you a feeling of being weightless as you float along with the lazy current. During your snorkeling adventure between the tectonic plates, benefit from the accompaniment of a certified snorkeling guide. All necessary gear is provided for this tour.

Please note that you can rent a waterproof digital camera or purchase a waterproof disposable camera directly from the operator to snap unique photos during your black and blue adventure in Iceland that you can then share with your loved ones back home.

We visited the Lave Cave first. Our guide was excellent. She was very friendly and funny, and very knowledgeable. She led us through the tunnel then let us make our own way back so we could explore a bit more and take photos. We were then dropped off at a bakery to have some food and wait for the pickup to go to Silfra. Our guide/driver for this part was also excellent. You get to see some stunning scenery on the drive there. Arriving at Silfra there are lots of items to put on but you are helped through this every step of the way by the guides. Being completely new to snorkeling I discovered it wasn't really for me so I went back to wait for the rest of the group to do the experience. My husband absolutely loved it! You are so well looked after the whole time, everyone really couldn't have been more professional! I would absolutely recommend this combo tour! Thank you so much to the whole team

This does involve going back to Reykjavik to pick up new people for the second adventure. However, Peter, our tour guide was nice enough to drop us off at a bakery for lunch. The experiences were top notch and worth all the driving. It was a small group and simply a once in a life time experience. I’d definitely do it again….in winter next time!

Wear long sleeves and leggings and slip on water shoes covering legs and feet because you have to change outside.They will stay dry in the exposure and wet suits they give you.Also insist on under water photos - not just above water.Bring your own Mask and snorkel if possible. Otherwise it’s an exhilarating experience.
