Description
Leave Reykjavík behind and float into one of Iceland’s most extraordinary natural scenes: the glass-clear blue water of Silfra, held between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates inside Þingvellir National Park.
Transport takes care of the journey while your guide prepares a warm thermal layer, drysuit and complete snorkelling equipment. In the fissure, lava-filtered glacial water opens remarkable views through Silfra Hall, the cathedral and the calm lagoon.
This focused half-day experience combines an easy city departure with a genuine once-in-a-lifetime adventure, finished with hot chocolate and underwater photographs from the swim.
Book your place and see the hidden blue world beneath Þingvellir without needing a rental car.
