Overview

This snorkeling tour takes place in Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Iceland. Participants start by arriving at the park on their own, as this is a self-drive tour with no public transport options. The guide explains the geological features of the volcanic landscape covered with moss before the snorkeling begins. All necessary gear is provided, including a thermal drysuit, neoprene hood and gloves, fins, snorkel, and mask. The drysuit helps keep participants buoyant and protected from the cold water. The snorkeling takes place in the Silfra fissure, a clear freshwater canyon that lies between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Swimmers move through the fissure, crossing between the two continental plates while observing underwater rock formations and plant life. The guided tour lasts about three hours. After snorkeling, participants receive hot chocolate or tea with a chocolate bar. Professional GoPro photos taken during and after the tour are sent by email at no extra cost. The guide speaks English and is PADI certified. The group size is kept small to ensure a personal experience.
