Take part in Iceland's top snorkelling activity in Thingvellir (Þingvellir) National Park: snorkelling in the Silfra rift!

Take part in Iceland's top snorkelling activity in Thingvellir (Þingvellir) National Park: snorkelling in the Silfra rift!

If you can swim, there's no way you can miss out on the experience of snorkelling at Silfra in Iceland, a must-do activity less than an hour's drive from Reykjavík. The Silfra rift is a large rift marking the boundary between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates. Immersed beneath the pristine waters of the Langjökull glacier, the rift offers visibility of up to 100 metres: equipped with a mask, snorkel and flippers, you can explore these waters with complete ease! Snorkelling in Iceland is a unique experience that will probably put you off the beaten track compared with other snorkelling activities!

Although the waters are cool (between 2 and 4°C or 35,6 °F and 39,2 °F ), you'll be perfectly protected in a wetsuit specially designed to conserve your body heat. What's more, you'll 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 rift are over! Your guide will be delighted to hear your feedback on this unique experience of snorkelling in Iceland.

You can meet the guide directly on site, or in Reykjavík where you will be picked up, so don't hesitate any longer and book your snorkelling trip in Iceland 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?
