Overview

This snorkeling tour takes place at Silfra, a fissure in Iceland’s Thingvellir National Park formed by the separation of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. The fissure is known for its clear glacial water with visibility over 100 meters, fed by fresh, drinkable glacial streams that support unique aquatic life. The tour lasts about three hours and includes the use of snorkeling gear and hot chocolate after the swim. A certified PADI Divemaster or instructor guides the activity. Participants can choose between drysuit or wetsuit options, allowing members of the same group to select different suits if preferred. The guide also takes underwater photos during the snorkeling, which are included in the price. Participants meet on location and should bring appropriate outdoor clothing for Iceland’s weather. Food is not included.

Itinerary

1

Meet us at Thingvellir National Park, about 50 km from Reykjavik. Once you have met your PADI divemaster certified guide, he or she will be going through the procedure and safety measures of your tour. After, you will put on your gear and head to an exotic underwater canyon/fissure, Silfra, created as the continental plates drift apart at a rate of about 2 cm per year. Silfra is a freshwater fissure where you can see at least 100 meters ahead of you. The water here is so clear and pristine it feels like flying. The approximate time in the water is around 40 minutes. Before leaving you'll have a delicious hot chocolate prepared by your guide for the day. We do have the option to pre-book a wetsuit on another listing. Booking a wetsuit is recommended for people who want to have the chance to dive down or who are scuba divers without the required certifications for the scuba dive. For the wetsuit it is recommended that you are a confident swimmer, if you are not then the drysuit is best for you. To cater to everyone's desires we are the only company that has wetsuits and drysuits allowing them to be in the same group.
