About

This is the perfect combo adventure to meet pure-bred Icelandic Horses, and marvel at the underwater world of the Silfra Fissure.

First, meet us at the Laxnes Horse Farm to go for a trek on the hardy, sure-footed Icelandic horse. 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.  

Next, meet us in Thingvellir National Park. The Silfra fissure is one of Iceland’s otherworldly scenes that is world famous for its heavenly shades of blue. You will snorkel between two tectonic plates through crystal clear glacial waters. 

Meet-on-Location guests must be at the Silfra car park in Thingvellir National Park at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled tour departure time. Guests can park their car at ''Thingvellir P5'' - click here for driving directions. To meet your guide: walk 400m back along the road until you reach a smaller car park with all the snorkel and dive vans, and look for your guide.

Please be ready in the Silfra car park to meet your guide 15 MINUTES before your tour is due to begin. GPS: 64°15’23.508″N 21°6’58.676″W
