Dive beneath the surface on the Strýtan scuba dive tour or snorkel in the north if you don't have a scuba license… and hop onto a private helicopter tour to Mt. Esja that will take your breath away!
We’ll kick the week off in style with a helicopter tour over Mt. Esja. Next, take a South Coast tour of black sand beaches and picturesque waterfalls with a private guide, followed by an thrilling afternoon paragliding over rugged terrain and mountain slopes. Descend into the heart of the volcano Þríhnúkagígur, the world’s only accessible magma chamber, for a glimpse of the netherworld and its brilliant red and purple hues. The next day, we continue the adventure with a Combo Tour of snorkeling and lava caving. We'll board a plane to Akureyri, where we'll dive down to two hydrothermal chimneys, Arnarnesstrýtan and Strýtan or snorkel in the area if you don't have licence to dive. On the last day, join a whale watching tour at one of the best places in Iceland to spot whales and relax at the GeoSea. Then you’ll catch a flight back to Reykjavik.
Optional Add-On: For an extra 3 days in Iceland, extend your trip to fly out to Ísafjörður. Catch a ferry to a remote Hornstrandir Nature Reserve, with no year-round inhabitants except for seabirds and the Arctic fox! Stay at an old farmhouse and soak in the bright summer nights! Adventures include sea kayaking and hiking around some of Iceland's most far-off vistas.
Note: Advanced Diver Certification and Dry Suit Certification or 10 logged Dry Suit Dives required for the dive.
