SNORKELING TOUR
SILFRA SNORKELING
Located between Eurasian and N-American tectonic plates, in the heart of Þingvellir National park (a UNESCO World Heritage site) you will find one of the world’s best-kept underwater secrets. Being an otherworldly scene Silfra fissure is frequently rated as one of the world’s top ten diving sites.
Before entering the clear water the dry suits are zipped tight and the goggles put on. The visibility is only limited by the density of the water itself and the crystal-clear water in the deep fissure gives you a feeling of being weightless as you float along with the lazy current.
Silfra snorkeling is a relaxing but exotic trip in an environment most will only encounter in their dreams. A pure underwater paradise.
