Silfra Snorkeling & Northern Lights Tour

The tour begins at Thingvellir National Park. Participants will travel to the Silfra Fissure by car, following the guide. After arriving, you'll receive the necessary gear and dive into Silfra, known for its crystal clear waters and the tectonic plate canyon between North America and Eurasia.

The snorkeling experience lasts 35 minutes, allowing you to see local wildlife and explore Silfra Hall, the widest part of the fissure. You'll also swim to Silfra Cathedral and the shallow area known as the Blue Lagoon.

After snorkeling, a hot chocolate and snack will be provided. You will then proceed to the next destination, the base camp, to view the Northern Lights.
