Description

Join us to snorkel in blue waters between the tectonic plates of Europe and America in the clearest water in the world.
Silfra is located in the Thingvellir National Park, and its water runs from the Langjökull glacier located 50 kilometers away, being filtered through lava for 100-200 years! Visibility in Silfra is astonishing, reaching up to 150 meters. You will have the opportunity to relax while moving comfortably through the fissure. You'll be wearing a drysuit to keep you warm and allow you to take your exploration of Icelandic geology to the next level.

To meet us on location you need to be at the Silfra car park 15 minutes prior to your tour start. The meeting point is in the parking lot by Silfra.
