Private Snorkling in Silfra 

Silfra is a fissure between the North American and Eurasian continental plates. Silfra constantly fills with glacial water that has been trickling through underground lava rock for 30 years. This remarkable crack between two tectonic plates is therefore filled with the clearest water on our planet, allowing for up to 100 meters visibility.

On the snorkeling tour we will dress you in a dry suit and guide you through the four parts of the Silfra fissure. Floating through Silfra's crystal clear water is an otherworldly experience; the near-freezing water, astonishing colors, and sensations of flying provide a very unique environment for liquid meditation that you will never forget.

During your snorkel you will explore the four main parts of Silfra. You will float through Big Crack, Silfra’s narrowest section and where the continental plates are so close you can almost touch them. The fissure then widens into Silfra Hall. Here the full spectrum of Silfra’s colours and clarity become all the more apparent. At this point if you look at just the right angle you can see all the way to lake Thingvallavatn, over 150m away. Near to the opening to Thingvellir lake we will enter the Silfra Cathedral; as the depth reaches 23m you feel like you are flying over the boulders and glacial silt. Your snorkel is finished in the endless visibility of Silfra Lagoon.

After the Snorkeling tour, visit the largest lake in Iceland, Thingvallavatn, and the Thingvellir National Park. This national park is the oldest national park in Iceland and is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List for both natural and cultural importance. This is the only place in the world where The North-Atlantic Ridge comes to the surface, so you can see its composition. Here was also in 930 AD established Althing, the world’s oldest parliament still in operation.

Borgarfjörður is located in the western part of Iceland. We drive through lush landscapes with rolling hills and tranquil waters.

We explore magnificent waterfalls Hraunfossar, that feature a series of clear cold springs that flow out from beneath a lava field, without any river being visible, creating a beautiful and unusual sight.

Nearby Barnafoss, “Children’s waterfall”, is a waterfall that, according to a folk tale, once had a natural arch that collapsed and caused a tragedy.

We also admire Deildartunguhver, the most powerful and one of the hottest and largest springs in Europe. Experience Europe's most potent hot spring and unwind in geothermal pools. Marvel at the region's stunning waterfalls, lava birch forests, and dramatic beaches. The dynamic geothermal activity beneath Iceland's surface is on full display here.

Visit of Víðgemlir cave ( shared tour)

Víðgelmir is perhaps the best preserved cave of the well known caves in Iceland. This is due to ice buildup during the 1960s finally closed off the only access into Víðgelmir in 1972. It was re-opened in 1994 and closed the following year with a metal gate. As such you will still find lava formations that long since have been destroyed in other well known caves.

The Cave Víðgelmir is located in a lava field called Hallmundarhraun, which is the largest lava field in Borgarfjörður. Both the exact starting time and duration of the eruption are not known, but it has been estimated that the eruption lasted 1-4 years and the start of the eruption is usually set at around 900 AD.
Four of the five largest known caves in Iceland are located in Hallmundarhraun, and many other smaller caves are scattered throughout the lava field
 

The Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa, is one of Iceland’s most unique and popular attractions.

The lagoon is rich in a unique combination of natural minerals which gives the lagoon its soft, milky aquamarine colour. Enjoying a bath in the warm water of the lagoon, surrounded by black lava is just the perfect way to relax.
