Meet your English-speaking guide at Silfra in Thingvellir National Park for a three-hour, small-group snorkel between the American and Eurasian plates. You’ll wear a drysuit or wetsuit, float through remarkably clear water, finish in the blue lagoon, and receive free photos. Guides such as Anil, Doris, Wilmar, and Hugo are praised for patient gear help.

“Alex our guide was so helpful as we managed our way into the dry suits then got some amazing go pro shots of all of us in and under the water. The small group of 6 made it very enjoyable”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 49 reviews · from $205

From Grundarfjörður port, an English-speaking guide takes you to Kirkjufell and Kirkjufellsfoss, Djúpalónssandur’s black beach, Lóndrangar, Arnarstapi, and Búðir’s black church. Guides such as Beggi, Jennifer, and Daniel have earned praise for clear storytelling and local insight, while the narrow coastal roads call for a skilled driver.
