Description

You'll arrive at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Once there, you'll take a short journey through the volcanic, moss-laden fields of the park. Here, you will listen as your friendly and experienced PADI Divemaster guide. Later, you'll receive all of the necessary equipment for snorkeling in Silfra, including neoprene hoods and gloves, a thermal drysuit, snorkel and fins. The equipment will keep you buoyant throughout your time in the fissure, as well as offering a protection against the water. Once in the water, your eyes will meet the incredible shades of blue so prevalent in the fissure, as well as the natural under-water flora canyon walls. As you are swimming you will have the opportunity to swim across continents, as you will be switching back and forth from the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. After the tour GoPRO pictures will be sent to you by email for free.

Silfra Snorkeling Tour

We had an amazing time on the Silfra Snorkeling tour! Anna was an incredible guide! She made sure everyone felt safe and took some amazing photos for us! All the equipment was provided we just recommend a warm base layer! We did the earliest time slot which allowed us to get in the water asap and not feel rushed during the experience! The views were definitely worth it 10/10 would recommend!!

Worth to see!

It was amazing experience! You can see nature from a completely different perspective. For me, it's something unforgettable. It’s also worth mentioning Marcelo and Abby. They were great guides— they shared plenty of interesting facts and joked a lot, which really enhanced the experience!

Truly one of the best...

Truly one of the best experiences! Our tour guide, Anna, was amazing and took great photos of us. We were hesitant at first because of the glacier water but it isn't as bad as people make it out to be. You're pretty much dry and warm besides your hands and face. Can't recommend this enough. The views are insane!
