    Full description

    Enjoy a guided wetsuit snorkeling tour in the Silfra fissure, located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Thingvellir National Park. Leave Reykjavik behind and discover this hidden natural wonder, where the 100-meter underwater visibility and bright colors make the experience almost unrealistic.

    Immerse yourself in the pristine water of Silfra—some of the purest waters on the planet. When snorkeling in Silfra, travel between two continents, ending the tour in a lagoon often called "the real blue lagoon" because of the bright blue color of the water. Snorkeling in Silfra fissure, where you are guided into this magnificent scenery, is a total must-see for all nature and adventure-thirsty travelers. Enjoy freedom in terms of movements and free dive by holding your breath.

    Stay dry underneath your drysuit or, for the more adventurous, choose a wetsuit to feel the natural cool waters. The wetsuits used are six millimeter in thickness and isolate the body well from the cold water. Warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and leave feeling reinvigorated

      This was such an amazing experience and I highly recommend everyone to do this. It was unlike anything I've ever done before. I felt really safe with the instructors and Chico kept checking in on me to make sure I was okay as I was there by myself. Would definitely do again.

      If I could give this 10 stars I would. An absolutely amazing experience!!! I was so weary of how cold the water would be but the dry suits were insanely warm. The views you see underwater are next level. Our guides Luís and Chico were beyond brilliant, eased everyone's concerns and made the tour even more enjoyable than it already was. I definitely 100% recommend going with Adventure Vikings based on the amazing guides and the additional pictures they get for you when you're between the plates. Once in a lifetime experience and I can't express how much we enjoyed it!

      Wonderful dive. I was very apprehensive before going because the water temperature was 2.5 °. But finally I'm glad I did. We were very well equipped, I kept my clothes on, plus a padded suit and another waterproof. Result I was not cold at all. In addition, the drysuit made me float. I felt very safe. The water was crystal clear and pure (and delicious, yes don't forget to drink it and fill your gourds if you pass by). It was magnificent and very emotional. We were swimming between two tectonic plates, in a no man's land. To do once in a lifetime. Thank you Alberto and Luis, our guides
