A lovely host served eggs cooked in a geyser well along with bread baked in the geyser oven. Very delicious and interesting. The geyser park, waterfalls and national park were beautiful wonders. Best was the spa at the end. Amaziing natural hot tubs with ocean views. A perfect end!”

“Silfa snorkeling: Anil was an excellent guide, he was patient with us new to dry suit snorkeling and gave us a great orientation to what we would experience. He took nice pictures for us in the water and out as well. This was a very special challenging and worthwhile experience!

Snorkel in Silfra at Thingvellir, then warm up at Sky Lagoon with Pure Pass and the Sky Ritual, self-drive from Reykjavik.
“The dive was incredible. Dory our instructor was very thorough with all the dry suit fitting and explained every step. She took loads of photos of us and gave us time to explore the lagoon. The experience itself is only like 30 mins but with how cold your head and hands get it’s enough. I can’t believe how clear the water was! Sky Lagoon at the end of the day was just the cherry on top of the cake to warm up. Would recommend!”

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
