About this Event
Looking for an amazing outdoor adventure in Iceland?
Our Snorkeling and Horseback Riding tour is the perfect combo! Start your day snorkeling in the stunning Silfra fissure, one of the world's best dive sites with crystal-clear freshwater. Afterward, we'll head to Reykjavik for an exciting horseback riding tour.
You'll get to ride an Icelandic horse, famous for their unique five gaits, making your ride smooth and enjoyable. This tour is all about immersing yourself in nature. Choose between a wetsuit for more flexibility and diving under the water or a drysuit to stay warm and dry while floating on the surface.
Silfra is located in Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly drift apart, creating breathtaking natural wonders.
The horseback riding part of the tour takes you along beautiful paths near Redhills (Rauðavatn) for 1.5 to 2 hours. Enjoy the scenic Icelandic nature and get to know these friendly horses. After the ride, we'll drive you back to the city.
This tour is run in collaboration with Sólhestar horse rental. Pickup for horseback riding is at 1:00 PM in downtown Reykjavik.
Join us for a fun-filled day and experience the best of Iceland’s outdoor beauty!
