Snorkeling Silfra Day Tour
Did you ever imagine that you needed a dry suit to go snorkelling ?
Be welcome on a very special trip to a site called Silfra, located in Þingvellir National Park.
What makes this snorkelling tour so unique is that you will be snorkelling between the two continental plates of Eurasia and North America.
This is the perfect activity for the whole family - Everybody can snorkel.
The 2°C degree glacial water in the fissure is as pure as it can get on this planet – We recommend you to take a sip when you enter the water!
Because of the clarity, the visibility is unmatched – over 100 meters – and gives you the feeling of flying on the surface, seeing all the way down to the bottom of the beautiful fissure.
PADI Divemasters and Instructors will guide you both over and under the surface and make your day enjoyable and fun.
Dry suit and undergarment that will keep you warm and comfortable in the water are provided – all other snorkelling equipment is also included.
The Snorkeling Silfra Day Tour starts with a pickup at our hostels before you drive to Þingvellir National Park.
On the way you will experience Iceland’s beautiful landscape and the guides will give more information about the park and its history.
After the snorkel you will warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and cookies before returning to Reykjavík.
