In our quest to find exciting experiences around the world, the words "You can't be serious" are often heard at Black Tomato HQ. This was certainly the case when one of our scouts discovered a way to journey to the centre of the earth. Diving between two tectonic plates in the crystal clear waters of a stunning lake just a short drive from Reykjavik is undoubtedly a once in a lifetime experience.
Iceland is recognised for its chic, stylish capital and breathtaking landscapes (and deservedly so), but it is also a country that inspires a sense of adventure. A long weekend here will push the limits of action packed escapes, and thrill even the most jaded of adrenalin junkies. And it's all based in buzzing Reykjavik, one of the hippest cities in the world.
The next morning your adventure begins. Take a jeep safari into the heart of the geo-thermal and active plate tectonic region of Iceland, where you will find the brilliantly clear deep water lake. There is full visibility from the lake's bottom to the surface; don't forget your underwater camera. With guidance from our qualified instructors, dive down in between two tectonic plates, surrounded by marine life and the awe-inspiring backdrop of the underwater landscape. Enjoy the moment as you reach out and touch the plates below the water, effectively holding the world apart.
Once the dive has finished, it's back to Reykjavik for an evening of relaxation. Or if your heart's still pumping from the adrenalin, you can celebrate your achievement in the restaurants, bars and clubs of the capital.
Either way, the following day's adventure is designed to blow the cobwebs away. You'll be driven deep into the island's southern glaciers where a snowmobile awaits ready for a thrilling morning of racing across the virgin snowfields. Lunch will be served on the glacier and we guarantee it will be one of the most memorable culinary experiences of your life.
In the afternoon we recommend a relaxing soak in the blue lagoon, but for those with an unquenched thirst for adventure, we can organise some white water rafting on glacial rivers. Both exhilarating experiences and the perfect way to finish your thrilling weekend.
