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.
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 drysuit will keep you feeling warm in the 35-degree Fahrenheit (2-4 degrees Celsius) water.
If you feel more daring, you may snorkel in a wetsuit. A wetsuit will give you more flexibility and mobility, allowing you to dive beneath the surface and see more of the Silfra fissure. When you're ready, you'll head out to the Silfra fissure.
The Silfra fissure is a unique geological feature in the Thingvellir National Park. It lies between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it one of the only places to snorkel directly between two continents.
The water in the Silfra fissure is incredibly clear, with visibility often exceeding 328 feet (100 meters) due to being filtered through underground lava rocks for decades.
This crystal-clear water provides snorkelers with stunning underwater views of the fissure's rock formations.
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. From the meeting point, you can continue your adventures in Iceland.
