Description

Experience the best of Iceland on a combo tour that takes you to meet and ride purebred Icelandic horses at Laxnes Horse Farm, and snorkel between two tectonic plates at the Silfra Fissure in Thingvellir National Park. Begin your day with a pickup from Reykjavik. We drive to Thingvellir National Park where the Eurasion and American tectonic plates diverge at the Silfra Fissure. It is world-famous for its heavenly shades of blue and clear glacial waters. The glacial water originates from Langjökull (Long Glacier) and is naturally filtered through lava fields, resulting in some of the purest water on Earth, with an incredible visibility of up to 150 meters. Next, we head to the Laxnes Horse Farm to go for a trek on the hardy, sure-footed Icelandic horse. Whether you are a beginner or expert, old or young, these friendly horses, with their alert and willing nature, are indeed a pleasure to ride in their natural surroundings.
