Description
Float between continents in the crystalline water of Silfra, a spectacular fissure where vivid blue depths, volcanic walls and extraordinary visibility create one of Iceland’s most unforgettable adventures.
After meeting at Þingvellir National Park, you are fitted with a thermal undersuit, drysuit and snorkelling gear before following a certified guide through the fissure. The gentle current carries you past narrow rock corridors into wide, brilliantly coloured chambers.
Free GoPro photographs preserve the experience while the compact self-drive format makes it easy to pair Silfra with Þingvellir and the Golden Circle.
Reserve your swim and discover why Silfra is repeatedly named among the world’s finest snorkelling locations.
