3-hour Silfra snorkel in Iceland with drysuits, up to 100m visibility between tectonic plates, plus free photos and hot chocolate.
“It is the only activity I have done where pictures online are exactly like in reality. 100% would recommend.”
Half-day Silfra tour in Thingvellir, Iceland, with a guide, entry included, and easy logistics for breath-hold swimming under 100+ visibility.
“Silfra is an amazing place. My suit filled with water within a couple of minutes of being in the water, so I wasn't really able to dive like I wanted. I can't remember my tour guide but he was very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.”
Half-day ice trekking on Vatnajokull from Skaftafell, going close to Falljokull with crampons, axe lessons, and guided crevasse views.
“Our guide Javier was just amazing!!! He had so much knowledge and taught us a lot! This was the highlight of our trip and I am so excited that we had amazing weather too! It is definitely worth it to ride up close to the glacier instead of spending time hiking in. We were able to spend a lot of time actually on the glacier!”
