Snorkel through clear water and view rock formations

Snorkel at Silfra, a top site in Thingvellir National Park, and see where two tectonic plates drift apart by 2 cm (1 inch) each year. Enjoy 100m (300ft) visibility in clear glacial water while spotting rock formations and freshwater algae.

The water comes from Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. It is filtered naturally for up to 100 years through volcanic lava fields, resulting in some of the cleanest water on Earth.

Wear a 7mm wetsuit to dive beneath the surface and stay warm while swimming in the cold water. A wetsuit keeps you warm by trapping a thin layer of water between your body and the suit, which your body heat warms up.

The meeting point may vary. Always check the tickets we sent you to confirm the final details before the activity.
