Description

Discover the unforgettable adventure of snorkeling between two continents at the Silfra Fissure in Iceland. Departing from Reykjavík, this guided tour takes you to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its breathtaking scenery and geological wonders.

As you travel through Iceland's rugged landscape, you'll learn about the fascinating tectonic activity that created the Silfra Fissure, where the North American and Eurasian plates drift apart. The crystal-clear glacier waters, filtered through ancient lava fields, offer visibility of up to 150 meters, making Silfra one of the world's premier snorkeling destinations.

Upon arrival, you'll gear up and join your certified guide for an approximately 45-minute snorkeling session. Marvel at the ethereal blue hues and unique underwater rock formations as you float between the continents in this otherworldly setting. The chilly water is invigorating, but your dry suit ensures a comfortable experience throughout.

After your underwater exploration, warm up with hot cocoa and cookies before the return journey to Reykjavík. If you prefer, you can opt to meet your guide directly at Thingvellir National Park, making this adventure flexible to fit your travel plans.

Don't miss your chance to experience one of Iceland's most unique natural wonders. Spaces are limited, so check availability and secure your spot on this incredible snorkeling tour today.
