Clear water, strange heat, and real awe. This double snorkeling day is built around two very different underwater worlds: Nesgjá fissure and the Litlaá bubbling sands. Nesgjá is Iceland’s answer to the famous Silfra look—freshwater, bright visibility (often beyond 100…

Iceland hits fast on this packed day. This Diamond Circle route is a one-day way to see big-ticket geology and big-ticket waterfalls, without renting a car. I especially like the included round-trip transport from Akureyri and the onboard Wi‑Fi, which…
Whales, but quieter than you’d expect. I like that this trip uses a carbon-neutral hybrid propulsion concept (and aims for a low-noise approach), so you’re watching wildlife with less impact. I also love the warm finish: hot chocolate and cinnamon…
Whales off Húsavík never feel routine. This Skjálfandi Bay tour runs about 3 hours, and you’re out on a traditional oak boat with a guide who hunts for whale and dolphin sightings. I especially like the focus on safe, non-distressing…
