Activity description

Take part in one of the most incredible snorkelling experiences in the world: snorkelling in Iceland's Silfra Fault!

Part of the Thingvellir (Þingvellir) National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Silfra Fault is a renowned site for snorkelling in Iceland. With its captivating shades of blue, visibility of up to 150 metres and impressive rock formations, the waters of Silfra invite you to do just one thing: dive!

Equipped with a drysuit to keep you warm and fully clothed, and all the snorkelling gear you need (fins, mask and snorkel), you will have the privilege of swimming between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates, in water between 2 and 4°C coming from the Langjökull glacier. The guide who accompanies you in the water will take photos of you as you snorkel in the Silfra fault, so you will have some precious memories!

This must-do activity in Iceland is not only available directly on site, but also from Reykjavík where you can be picked up by the guide, so make the most of it and discover snorkelling in the Silfra Fault without delay!
