Snorkeling in Thingvallavatn & Lava Caves is a fantastic adventure, a real journey to the border between dreams and reality.
We start off this adventure by exploring the black, as we head to the lava fields underneath Thingvellir National Park. Exploring lava caves, we discover wondrous formations created by volcanic activity in the past. This is a journey anyone can undertake, and the cave Gjábakkahellir is a perfect example of an Icelandic lava tunnel. It is situated in one of the world’s most active volcanoes. After the caving, we enjoy lunch, before we continue to explore the blue!
Snorkelling in the Silfra is our blue adventure. The Silfra lava crack is one of Iceland’s best-kept secrets, an otherworldly beautiful scene, with water the colour of blue skies. The crystal clear water in this deep crack will give you a feeling of weightlessness as you slowly float in the current. Snorkelling in the Silfra is a relaxing and exotic journey that most people only encounter in their dreams!
