Diving in Silfra and Horseback riding

A perfect day

Between the 1st of February and the 31st of October we offer the Silfra Diving Day Tour in combination with a Horseback Riding Tour.

On this tour you will first visit the most popular dive site in Iceland: the magical fissure Silfra, located in Þingvellir National Park. You can read more about the Silfra trip here: Silfra Diving Day Tour. Please note that in order to dive in Silfra you must have dry suit certification or 10 logged dry suit dives within the last two years of tour date and be able to provide written proof from a diving instructor of these dry suit dives.

After the Silfra dives we will warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and cookies before we take you to the Laxnes Horse Farm, where you will spend the rest of the day on a pleasurable ride through the beautiful valley of Mosfellsdalur.

Horse enthusiasts will already know that the Icelandic horses are an extremely special and protected breed. At Laxness you will be provided with riding equipment before you are handed one of their friendly sure-footed Icelandic horses suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. This is a great tour for divers who like horses and horseback riding fans who are scuba divers!

If you want to share the experience with your friends or family who are not scuba divers, you can combine this tour with non-divers and snorkelers. Ask us!

This tour is surely an enjoyable experience to remember.

Silfra & Riding

We went on a combined diving and horseback trip, me diving and my wife snorkeling at Silfra. Everything worked like a charm. After booking we got information on what to pack for the dive. Our guide/divemaster picked us up at our hotel. All the staff were super-friendly and helpful. The dive at Silfra was an amazing experience, well worth the price. Also notable that scuba gear was in good condition and divemaster was professional. After the dive we were transferred to Laxness horse-farm where we got to enjoy amazing mountain scenery on a well arranged ride. Absolutely the highlight of our trip!
