Combination 7-Hour Horseback Riding and Silfra Snorkeling Tour

Embark on a back-to-back adventure by joining this seven-hour combination snorkeling tour at Silfra fissure and horseback riding in Southwest Iceland. This meet-on-location tour is perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Iceland, all while being guided by experienced professionals.

Your day begins at Laxnes Horse Farm, located just a 30-minute drive from Reykjavik. Here, you'll have the first leg of your adventure, a two-hour horseriding activity.

At Laxnes, you'll meet your English-speaking guide and the rest of the tour joiners. You'll be paired with a majestic Icelandic horse and be provided with all the necessary riding equipment.

Whether you're a seasoned rider or a complete beginner, the horseback riding tour is tailored to suit all experience levels. The gentle nature of the Icelandic horses and the stunning surroundings create an unforgettable riding experience.

As you ride through the serene countryside in Mosfellsdalur valley, you'll be captivated by its charming landscapes. Rolling hills, lush valleys, and panoramic views will surround you as you enjoy the company of your horse.

After your horseback riding tour, the adventure continues with a short drive to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Iceland's most historically significant locations. This park is also a key stop on the famous Golden Circle route. 

You'll have some free time to explore the park's remarkable geology and history, and it's a great opportunity to grab lunch at one of the park's eateries before your next activity.

The second part of your day takes you to the world-renowned Silfra fissure, located within Thingvellir National Park. Silfra is a natural wonder, a crack between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

The fissure is filled with glacial water that has been filtered through lava fields, resulting in some of the clearest water on the planet. Visibility in Silfra often exceeds 328 feet (100 meters), offering an unparalleled snorkeling experience.

Before entering the water, your guide will equip you with a dry suit to keep you warm in the cold temperatures. You'll then embark on a guided snorkeling tour through the four main sections of Silfra: the Big Crack, Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral, and Silfra Lagoon. 

The vibrant colors, astonishing clarity, and the unique sensation of floating between two continents create an otherworldly experience that you'll remember forever.

After your snorkeling adventure, warm up with hot chocolate and cookies provided by your guide. The snorkeling tour takes roughly three hours, with your time underwater approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

This tour is self-driven, so you'll have the flexibility to continue exploring the Golden Circle at your own pace. The Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysir geothermal area are just a short drive away from here.
