Silfra Snorkeling Tour
Description
Embark on an unforgettable adventure in Thingvellir National Park, where you will have the unique opportunity of snorkelling in the Silfra Fissure. This outing offers an exhilarating exploration of an underwater canyon unlike any other.
Tour Details
Our journey begins at the designated meeting point in Reykjavík, from where we will make our way to one of Iceland's extraordinary natural wonders, the Silfra Fissure. There, you will have the chance to dive into pristine waters.
We will proceed to the Silfra Fissure, nestled in the core of Thingvellir National Park. Upon our arrival in this remarkable volcanic zone, we will equip ourselves with the necessary gear and begin our snorkelling adventure. You will be gliding through the waters between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, effectively swimming between two continents!
Silfra Fissure is renowned as one of the premier snorkelling locations globally, celebrated for its exceptional water clarity. While navigating through these waters, you will have the chance to observe the majestic canyon walls, glide over Silfra Hall, the rift's widest section, and marvel at Silfra Cathedral, a breathtaking underwater landscape.
Following our snorkelling experience, we will return to the surface at the Royal Blue Lagoon, where you can enjoy a hot chocolate and a snack to warm up. Finally, we will transport you back to the meeting point in Reykjavík, completing a total of 5 hours filled with exploration.
