Full description

Have an out-of-this-world adventure while drysuit snorkeling in Silfra rift, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Thingvellir National Park. The hidden natural wonder has 100 meters of underwater visibility with bright colors that make the experience almost unrealistic.

Meet your guide and group directly at the site in Silfra and prepare to travel between two continents in the rift. Be guided through magnificent scenery and view Silfra from the surface while the slow current carries you through the stunning underwater landscape.

Stay dry underneath your drysuit or, for the more adventurous, choose the wetsuit to feel the natural cool waters.

Snorkel through the pure and clean waters of Silfra and end the tour in a lagoon often called "the real blue lagoon" because of the bright blue color of its water.

The guides (Iñigo and Bjarni) are very charismatic and make the trip really fun. The sights are very incredible. It’s a must do if you are in Iceland. One of our best activities in the whole trip. The suits are great, you don’t feel a thing. The experience is overall amazing. Bjarni, our guide, is such a handsome boy, he was very nice and funny.

a little challenging finding the proper dive group due to all the activity, use of a colored flag perhaps would aid that process. Check-in was smooth as was drysuit component selection and fitting. Facial hair does affect facemask seal, mine leaked constantly despite several attempts to re-fit seal. A comment about that potential issue with beard or moustache would be helpful if given in the pre-trip information. A little more time for the ‘free swim’ at the end would be appreciated but overall, a unique experience!
