Your experience

Snorkel between two continents in Silfra’s crystal-clear waters on this 2.5-hour guided adventure.

Getting started

Arrive at the Silfra Meeting Point in Þingvellir National Park, where your guide will greet you and check your documentation. If you have opted for transfer from select locations in Reykjavik, then wait at your selected pick-up point. After a safety briefing and equipment fitting, you’ll join a small group and prepare to enter the water.

What to expect

Silfra fissure

Silfra is a unique underwater rift formed in 1789, marking the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Its glacial spring water, filtered through lava rock for decades, offers visibility of over 100 metres and a constant temperature year-round.

Features

• The Big Crack: Swim the narrowest section of Silfra, where the continental plates nearly touch, highlighting the site’s geological significance.

• Silfra Hall: Experience vibrant underwater colours and exceptional clarity, making this section a favourite for snorkelers and divers.

• Silfra Cathedral: Glide through a long, deep corridor with dramatic canyon walls, renowned for its impressive underwater views.

• Silfra Lagoon: Finish your journey in a wide, calm area perfect for taking in the full spectrum of Silfra’s aquatic landscape.

• Post-tour treat: Warm up with hot chocolate and cookies as you chat with your guide and review photos from your experience.

Guided snorkeling or diving tours include all equipment, entry fees, plus hot chocolate and cookies to warm you up post-adventure.
