Good photography sessions fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Snorkel Silfra Fissure in Thingvellir between tectonic plates. Drysuit, GoPro photos, hot chocolate, small group in 3 hours.
“We had Kevin and he was great! He spoke 8 languages! The trip was a success and we stayed warm even though the temp of the water was 34 degrees!?!?”
Small-group northern lights hunt from Reykjavik with hotel pickup and a free re-run, plus professional photos after the tour.
“Great experience. Bjarni our guide was excellent. We saw the lights although their activity was not high. Bjarni, drove us about to get the best sightings. The hot chocolate and pastries were amazing”
Snorkel between North America and Europe at Silfra in Þingvellir NP, with a dry suit, hot drinks, and GoPro photos. 3 hours.
“Top Guide, amazing Landscape and water. IT was my First time snorkeling and I felt komfortable and Safe with the Guide. Never vorher this experience”
Small-group Reykjavik aurora hunt with hot chocolate, blankets, and guide photos. Up to 19 people, 4 hours, aurora not guaranteed.
“This was an amazing tour, not just because of the northern lights, but because of the outstanding customer service. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we were able to see the lights.”
Snorkel Silfra in Thingvellir with a dry suit, world-class visibility between tectonic plates, included photos, and hot chocolate.
“Snorkeling between tech tonic plates in 30 degree water sounds crazy, but this tour offers the opportunity to do it and it is a once in a lifetime kind of experience. The swim was surprisingly a lot more challenging than I anticipated, but the views underwater made the difficulty worth it. One thing to note is that the tour is busy at all times of day. Therefore the experience becomes a bit rushed since they try to accommodate several groups in a single day. We were barely in the water 35 mins before we were being rushed to hurry back.”
3-hour Silfra snorkel in Iceland with drysuits, up to 100m visibility between tectonic plates, plus free photos and hot chocolate.

Reykjavik aurora hunt with guided dark-sky driving, blankets, hot cocoa, and guide-shot photos. 5 hours, weather dependent.
“Christian our guide was fantastic. He had all the science, was knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. He said we required patience and we were rewarded with a great display. It was an amazing night.”
Reykjavik Northern Lights tour with hot cocoa, Icelandic wool blankets, and free aurora photos from a small minibus, 4 hours.
“As a Filipino who grew up in a tropical country, seeing the Northern Lights felt like stepping into another world. The freezing temperature was a big adjustment, but the moment the green lights started dancing across the sky, I forgot all about the cold. It was surreal, emotional, and truly unforgettable. No photo can capture how magical it feels in person. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience worth chasing. 🌌✨”
Snorkel in Silfra’s crystal clear glacial rift between tectonic plates from Reykjavik, with a drysuit, hot chocolate, and free photos.

Cozy Reykjavik Northern Lights 4x4 minibus with hot cocoa, Icelandic pastries, hand warmers, guide photos, and flexible rebooking if skies fail.
“We went out the first night but unfortunately we didn’t see the northern lights even though the conditions were perfect. We rescheduled the tour for a different night which was straight forward and so easy to do and on the second attempt they were dancing all over the skies above us, what a sight 😊 We enjoyed the whole experience very much and our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and he did everything he could to keep our spirits high. We received some great photos of the lights and the cocoa and pastry was very welcoming and it kept us all refreshed. I would definitely recommend this tour as it…”

Snorkel Silfra in Iceland’s Thingvellir with a PADI divemaster, dry suit gear, hotel transfers, and included underwater photos.
“Efficient garbing (thermal bodysuit + wetsuit + accoutrements) of large numbers of people signed up for the same experience. Additional clarity around that process may have improved the processing and understanding of what we should be doing. Marcello the guide was spectacular! His knowledge of the area, all things water and landscape while helping us get dressed and into the water was very reassuring. He led us through the fissure, took pictures and did it gracefully and professionally.”
Every kind of Icelandic day out, and the best of each.
