Overview

This Silfra wetsuit snorkeling tour takes place at the Silfra fissure in Iceland, near Reykjavik. The total duration is about three hours. Participants meet directly at the snorkeling location. At the site, each person receives a wetsuit and snorkeling equipment. A PADI Divemaster or instructor leads groups of up to six participants. The wetsuit allows snorkelers to dive underwater, which is popular with scuba divers who do not have certification for drysuit diving. Visibility in Silfra’s clear water exceeds 100 meters. Underwater photos taken during the snorkeling are included free of charge. After the activity, hot chocolate is served. Participants must be at least 12 years old, know how to swim, and be comfortable in water. Those over 65 need medical approval. Height and weight limits apply, and this information must be provided before the tour. Swimwear and a towel are required but not included. Weather-appropriate clothing is recommended, and participants should bring contact lenses or a prescription mask instead of glasses. Multiple groups may snorkel at the site simultaneously.

Itinerary

1

After parking your car in P5 you will meet you where all the snorkel/ dive vans are. Once you have greeted your guide he or she will run through how the day will go and what to expect from the tour. Once you're wearing all of our snorkel gear you will listen in to a safety briefing prior to entering Siflra. Silfra is known for it's visibility exceeding 100 metres. The reason for this is because 50km away there is a glacier that melts at different times of the year and this melt water makes a journey underground until it reaches a big 'crack' in the ground. This meltwater fills this 'crack' or 'canyon' meaning we can go snorkeling there to experience it. After spending 30-40 minutes in the water you'll finish the tour by warming up with a well earned hot chocolate. Your guide will take photos of you throughout and does not charge extra commission. Normally included are 40-100 photos, this varies on group size and the comfort level of the group. They are downloadable after a few days. With the wetsuit option all you need to wear your bathing suit underneath. Our guides highly recommended that you bring thick socks as this will help to keep your feet warm while snorkeling!
