Offer Image
Explore astounding lava caves before experiencing unparalleled visibility while snorkeling inside a fissure. This exhilarating Reykjavik tour to the Blue Mountains will deepen your senses.

Lava Cave & Snorkeling Combo Tour

This stellar adventure is set in the Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site specially designed for the entire family to enjoy. A certified cave guide will instruct and equip you with specialized caving gear, including a helmet and headlamp.

Located on the continental rift separating America and Europe, much of Iceland is known for its unusual tectonic activity and the unique formations it creates. This is your chance to explore the underlying lava fields and caves beneath the Blue Mountains.

Upon examining a perfect example of a 'lava tube' situated on one of the world's most active volcano areas, you'll take a lunch break. Once powered up, you'll be transported to the second leg of your journey to the idyllic, blue waters in the Silfra Fissure.

Here, your PADI certified diver/guide will equip you with snorkeling gear and an insulated dry suit, keeping you warm in the glacial waters. Widely celebrated among the diving set, the crystal clear waters in the Silfra Fissure gives you a feeling of absolute weightlessness. Venture along and let the current sway you through this otherworldly waterscape.

This Reykjavik tour sells out frequently because of limited capacity and park regulations, so book this Reykjavik tour today for a fascinating shore excursion at a low price.

For those customers interested in private tours, we offer many outstanding excursions that allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your tour. Search for "Private Tours" if you are interested in this experience. Our "Scenic" tours provide up close and personal access to some of the most spectacular natural environments on Earth from majestic glaciers in Alaska to spectacular reefs in the Caribbean. Our "Cultural" tours allow customers to experience local customs, entertainment and culinary delights ranging from tribal dances in Alaska to an outstanding local meal in Santorini, Greece. Our "Active" tours offer a multitude of exciting and adventurous ways to experience our destinations. Our customers can kayak the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, hike to a spectacular waterfall in Hawaii, or bicycle through quaint villages in France. Our "City" tours allow travelers to see the highlights of great cities around the world with unique insights provided by our expert tour guides.
