Diving and snorkeling
Diving and snorkeling is becoming very popular in Iceland. I tried only a snorkeling tour since I don't have a diving licence (You need a PADI in order to be able to dive here) but it was one of the most memorable experiences in my life. There is a fissure between the tectonic plates in Iceland that is filled up with the clearest water in the world. The water is coming from a glacier and is filtered by the finest volcanic soil. The visibility is around 100m! The place is called Silfra and located on the Golden Circle so you can combine with a Golden Circle road trip :) You can also dive in the Lake Kleifarvatn, where you can see rocks vibrating and bubbles emitting form the bottom of the lake. Or you can dive in the sea :) Please do not try diving or snorkelling without a trained local guide!
