Silfra Snorkelling Experience

Can you imagine snorkelling between two continents? Dive into the Silfra fissure and swim between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Silfra Snorkelling Experience

We'll meet at the Thingvellir National Park visitors' centre to board a bus across this volcanic land, declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our expert guide will provide necessary information for safe participation.

After a short journey, we will reach the Silfra fissure, where we will get kitted up for the snorkelling experience in this natural setting.

Silfra offers over 262 feet (80 metres) of visibility underwater and is located between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, allowing you to snorkel between two continents.

During the 45-minute snorkelling, we will explore the canyon walls, various shades of blue in the clear waters, and the natural flora in the area. We will enter Silfra Hall to appreciate the full spectrum of colours and then proceed to Silfra Cathedral, concluding the experience in the deepest part, the Real Blue Lagoon.
