Your tour starts when you are picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. You will meet your expert English-speaking guide, who will lead you on your snorkeling tour. This excursion is a private tour, so it will be just you and your party.
There's no need to wait for other guides to arrive, and the tour can be tailored to your group's needs and abilities. You will have the undivided attention of your certified guide and can ask any questions during the tour.
Get comfortable on the minibus as your driver takes you to the Thingvellir National Park.
When you arrive, your guide will give you a thorough briefing and all the necessary equipment for a safe snorkel adventure. Your guide is trained in water safety and first aid so you can relax and enjoy your experience.
You will use top-quality snorkeling gear, and you can choose from a wetsuit or dry suit to keep you comfortable and warm. A combination of a thermal undergarment and a dry suit will keep you feeling warm in the 35-degree Fahrenheit (2-4 degrees Celsius) water.
If you feel more daring, you can snorkel in a wetsuit instead. A wetsuit will give you more flexibility and mobility, allowing you to dive beneath the surface and see more of the Silfra fissure. When ready, you'll head out to the Silfra fissure and get in.
The Silfra fissure is a unique geological feature in Iceland. It is a rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, where you can swim or snorkel. The clear, cold water provides over 328 feet (100 meters) of visibility, making it a popular spot for divers.
The Silfra fissure is known for its underwater landscapes, including lava rocks and vibrant algae. The water, fed by a nearby glacier, is filtered through porous lava rock, ensuring its purity.
These facts make the Silfra fissure one of the top snorkeling destinations in the world, attracting visitors who enjoy its remarkable underwater beauty.
During the tour, your guide will take underwater photographs of your group snorkeling against the magnificent backdrop of the fissure, which you will receive after the tour.
When your time snorkeling comes to an end, you can get changed. You'll also be able to enjoy a hot chocolate to help you warm up. At the end of the tour, you'll return to the minibus to be dropped off at your accommodation in Reykjavik, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
Enjoy this immersive experience exploring the underwater world of the Silfra fissure on a private tour. Check availability now by choosing a date.
