Activity description
Take part in Iceland's leading snorkelling activity in Thingvellir National Park (Þingvellir): snorkelling in the Silfra Fault!
If you can swim, there is no way you can miss out on the snorkelling experience at Silfra in Iceland, a must-do activity less than an hour's drive from Reykjavík. A wide fissure marking the boundary between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates, the Silfra fault is immersed beneath the pristine waters of the Langjökull glacier, offering visibility of up to 100 metres: equipped with a mask, snorkel and fins, you will explore these waters with complete ease!
Although the waters are cool (between 2 and 4°C), you will be perfectly sheltered in a specially designed wetsuit that keeps your body warm. What is more, you will be able to enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate to warm you up once the 30 to 40 minutes of snorkelling in the Silfra fault are over! Your guide will be delighted to hear your feedback on this experience, which is one of the most incredible in Iceland.
You can meet your guide directly on site, or in Reykjavík where you will be picked up, so book your snorkelling trip in the Silfra Fault now! And for even more fun, if you can meet the guide directly at Thingvellir National Park (Þingvellir), why not opt for the experience combining snorkelling at Silfra with a relaxing moment at the Laugarvatn hot springs?
