Description
Meet directly at Silfra and feel its legendary glacial water through a thick wetsuit, enjoying flexible self-drive timing, vivid blue visibility and a wonderfully invigorating connection with Þingvellir’s continental rift.
The guide fits your wetsuit, fins, mask and snorkel before leading you into a gentle current that flows through narrow volcanic corridors and opens into the cathedral and lagoon. Greater freedom of movement makes this an active and immersive version of the classic Silfra swim.
Underwater photographs and hot chocolate complete the experience, while the self-drive format leaves you free to explore Þingvellir and the Golden Circle afterwards.
Reserve your wetsuit adventure and discover Silfra in its most refreshing form.
