Your adventure begins with a snorkeling tour at Litlaá river. North Iceland, just south of the arctic circle, is an unusual place to find a 12-17°C river, but its geothermal activity keeps it a nice warm temperature. The river is shallow allowing you a clear view of what lies beneath the surface.

The river’s floor is full of mesmerising dancing volcanic sands and multicoloured sediments leaping from the bottom. The heated water erupts from below the bottom causing beautiful designs and ripples in the riverbed while you drift along the surface above. This has been described by the phrase "Bubbling sands" and is a sight best seen with own eyes.

Mixed in with the bubbling sands you will see beautiful fields of green algea which are mesmerising to look at. The underworld at it's best.
You will be provided with a dry suit and an undergarment to keep you dry and warm. We recommend that you wear thermal long-underwear and wool socks for additional warmth.

After your 30-40 minute snorkeling session in Litlaá river, you make your way to the town of Húsavík.

There you will experience a different type of geothermal activity, the geothermal sea baths of Geosea. The seawater is packed with minerals which will revitalize your skin. A visit to the steam rooms will make the experience even more relaxing and enjoyable.

If you plan to drive the Diamond circle, we suggest you start your day sightseeing Goðafoss waterfall, Lake Mývatn, Dettifoss waterfall and the beautiful canyons of Ásbyrgi before starting the snorkeling tour. The last location is the whale watching capital of Húsavík where you can end your day soaking in the Geosea - Geothermal sea baths.
