Snorkel in Silfra

Join us on a snorkeling adventure in Silfra Fissure in Þingvellir National Park. Swim between tectonic plates, floating on clear water with breath-taking underwater views and receive GoPro photos for free afterwards!

Snorkeling in Silfra is a transcontinental once-in-a-lifetime experience. The trolls will show you what National Geographic has described as one of the top dive sites in the world in the historically rich Thingvellir National Park – part of the famous Golden Circle route. You’ll find out for yourself as you glide between tectonic plates floating on pure, filtered glacial meltwater and tick off your bucket list the ultimate tour on breathtaking underwater views and only available in Iceland in the world’s clearest waters. And receive GoPro photos for free afterwards!

You will begin this tour at the meeting point in Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You will be met by your friendly and experienced PADI Divemaster guide who starts by providing a safety briefing. Later, you will receive all of the necessary equipment for snorkeling in Silfra, including a thermal undersuit, a dry-suit, neoprene hoods and gloves, and, of course, a mask, snorkel and fins. This equipment will keep you buoyant throughout your time in the fissure, as well as offering protection against the glacial 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 move across continents, as you will be switching back and forth from both the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Upon exiting the water, you’ll be invited to warm up to hot chocolate and cookies with your friendly guides while having a nice chat. Then, after the tour is over you will receive the photos in your email to remember all the happy memories created with old and new friends.
