Tour Details

Dive into an extraordinary underwater world at Litlaá, a hidden gem nestled near Iceland's northern coast, just a whisper away from the Arctic Circle. Here, in the enchanting lagoon of Brunnar, the earth's geothermal magic transforms the icy waters into a warm, inviting sanctuary, perfect for an unforgettable snorkeling adventure. As you slip beneath the surface, a surreal landscape unfolds—a mesmerizing dance of sands that ripple and swirl like living art, sculpted by the cold water erupting from the lagoon's depths. These "Bubbling Sands" create an otherworldly spectacle, a sight so captivating it feels as if you've stepped onto another planet.

The lagoon teems with life, where fields of vibrant green algae sway gently in the warm currents, and multicolored sediments paint the underwater canvas. Countless snails glide across the lagoon floor, while in the shallows, schools of sticklebacks dart and weave in synchronized harmony. Keep your eyes peeled for the majestic Brown Trout, a stealthy predator that occasionally graces snorkelers with its presence as it hunts the sticklebacks.

As the tour draws to a close, you'll embark on a serene river float, drifting along the gentle current until you reach the confluence with the Litlaá River. Here, the waters mingle with those from Skjálftavatn Lake, creating a renowned fishing haven where Brown Trout, Sea Trout, Arctic Char, and even the elusive Arctic Salmon thrive.

This snorkeling adventure is perfectly situated along the famed Diamond Circle, a route that promises even more wonders. Just a short drive from the whale-watching haven of Húsavík and the awe-inspiring Ásbyrgi canyon, this tour is an ideal addition to your self-drive exploration. Nearby, the thundering Goðafoss, the mighty Dettifoss, and the serene beauty of Lake Mývatn await, each offering their own unique slice of Icelandic splendor.
