OUR MISSION
Pink Iceland strives to be the country’s foremost travel agent, tour operator, event and wedding planner for LGBTQI travelers. Our goal is to always offer an exemplary service, treating our guests with the utmost respect while offering a good quality product.

Pink Iceland is, and will remain a beautiful, vibrant, fun and caring place of work where both owners and staff ambitiously work towards offering outstanding services to its guests
HONESTY POLICY
Pink Iceland is a privately owned company and as such it needs to make a profit. This profit pays the salaries of its staff, the rent, the wonderful and informative Pink Iceland website not to mention copious amounts of coffee for the owners. Most of Pink Iceland's money is made through commissions. This is how it works: If our guests let us book their tours, activities, and accommodation we collect a small (usually 10-15%) commission of the price. This basically means that you pay the same price, regardless of whether you book directly - or through us. You may think this might cause us to recommend really expensive accommodation and tours. Not so. We promise to do our utmost to come up with a plan that suits you, and your budget. We would never recommend anything without full confidence and/or personal experience of what's on offer. Our primary goal is working with and for the LGBTQI community and without the community's support or goodwill we wouldn't have lasted six months in the business. It is not least through word of mouth that we grow stronger every day. Our hope is that after reading this you too will ask for our recommendations and advice and/or book your holiday through us.

We constantly revise our policies, processes and activities and actively work towards implementing these. Our human rights commitments may often go unnoticed but when applicable we update our audience about the work we undertake through our social media outlets and website.

OUR REPUTATION IS OUR MARKETING
SNORKELING AND DIVING
Snorkle or dive in the clear water of Silfra rift between continents
SILFRA
The Silfra Rift is one of the greatest dive sites on this planet. Silfra is in Thingvellir Lake which is in Thingvellir National Park, when you dive or snorkle there you are swimming between the continents! The visibility that you will experience will rarely be surpassed, if ever. The reasons for this clarity are twofold: the water is cold (2°C - 4°C all year) as it is the water melting from a glacier about 50km away and it has been filtered through lava fields for many years before coming out at the north end of Thingvellir lake through underground wells.
SNORKELING IN SILFRA IS FOR EVERBODY
You don't need to be a certified diver in order to experience water at its clearest. Daily Snorkeling Trips to Silfra where you will swim between the continents and take a good look at the crack beneath the surface. You will be guided both over and under the surface by PADI Divemasters or Diving Instructors. This tour is often combined with the Silfra Diving Day Tour. The divers below make a very good view for the snorkeler on the surface, since the submerged diver brings depth and incredible clarity into perspective. Make sure to drink some of the water while in the water. Who knows when you will be able to drink some that is as pure!
DIVING IN SILFRA IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY :)
Please note that this tour can be combined with the Silfra Snorkeling Tour for your non-diving friends & family.On the way to Silfra your guide will point out interesting facts about the history and geology of Thingvellir park and show you some stunning views of the Thingvellir area. Upon arrival at the dive site divers will gear up and walk to the platform, where the guide will give you a briefing on the first dive. We’ll take a few steps down the ladder and make contact to the World's clearest water to dive in. Take a sip! The slight current formed by the underground wells will make the dive in Silfra an easy one. The dive guide will lead the dive and take photos and videos. If you are interested you can purchase a DVD of the videos and high resolution photos after the tour. After the first dive we will make our way back along a challenging but rewarding 250m path with our dive gear before warming our hands and spirits over some hot chocolate and delicious cookies.
Dives are usually planned so that divers see Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral and the Silfra Lagoon on both dives.
