Silfra: Guided Drysuit Snorkeling

Drive 50 minutes from Reykjavik to reach Silfra, one of the world’s best snorkeling locations. Located in Thingvellir National Park, Silfra sits between two tectonic plates that move apart by 2 cm each year, shaping an underwater landscape.

The glacier water at Silfra filters through lava fields for decades, ensuring exceptional purity. Visibility can reach up to 100 meters (300 ft). The water, always between 2–4°C (35°F), reveals unique rock formations and freshwater algae.

Use high-quality drysuits to stay warm while floating through this environment, making it ideal for colder conditions and longer exposure. Suitable for both seasoned and first-time snorkelers, Silfra is the best place to see the underwater beauty.
