Description

Discover the thrill of snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of the Silfra Fissure, located in Iceland's breathtaking Thingvellir National Park. This unique adventure lets you explore the only place on Earth where you can swim between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Your journey begins in Reykjavík, where a comfortable transfer takes you through Iceland’s dramatic landscapes to the UNESCO-listed Thingvellir. Upon arrival, your expert guide provides all necessary snorkeling equipment and a thorough safety briefing to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Glide through Silfra’s pristine glacial waters, renowned for their astonishing visibility of up to 150 meters. Marvel at the surreal underwater scenery, illuminated by vibrant shades of blue created by centuries-old glacier meltwater filtering through lava fields.

After your 45-minute snorkeling session, warm up with hot cocoa and cookies while you share stories with your group. Your guide captures underwater photos so you can relive the adventure long after your return to Reykjavík.

This small-group tour includes all gear, National Park admission, and round-trip transfers from Reykjavík if selected. Spaces fill quickly for this extraordinary experience—secure your spot now and snorkel between continents!
