Snorkeling Silfra & Northern Lights Self Drive Tour





Embark on an adventure starting with snorkeling in Silfra, a unique underwater world between tectonic plates. Equipped with a dry suit, you’ll glide through crystal-clear glacial waters and even taste the pristine Silfra water.
Later, chase the northern lights at Aurora Basecamp, complete with tips and an immersive indoor simulation. While seeing the real northern lights depends on solar activity and weather, the lifelike simulation ensures an unforgettable experience.
