Snorkeling in Silfra Fissure with Hot Chocolate & Cookies

About the Activity

What to Expect

Float over lava, swim between large volcanic canyons and discover the crystal clear waters that flow between the North American and Eurasian continents with our snorkeling tour in Silfra Fissure. Start your day at the magnificent Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO heritage site, before making your way to the narrow volcanic canyon of Silfra Fissure, where glacier water meanders through a giant lava field. Meet your guide and prepare for a breathtaking snorkeling experience. Dive into the crystal clear glacial water sourced from the distant Langjökull glacier, which has been filtering through lava for centuries. With visibility reaching up to 150 meters, touch the moving lava rocks and feel the power of Icelandic nature in serene calmness. Rated among the world’s top ten dive sites, Silfra offers the unique opportunity to snorkel between the tectonic plates of Europe and America.
