Snorkeling Tours

Dive into this drysuit snorkelling tour of Silfra fissure in Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Conducted at the edge of Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland, this tour is sure to enthral and mesmerise you! You'll have an unforgettable view down into the depths below, thanks to the silvery water which gives Silfra its name. The water is so clear, you'll be able to see as far as 100 m (almost 330 ft) down, to the shadowy caves that are formed by centuries of earthquakes widening the fissure and releasing the pressures of the earth's crust. It's the only place on earth where you can swim between a meeting place of worlds: the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Witness the strength and power of the land as you drift on the current. Plants resembling troll hair grow on the rocks, floating in the water, and you'll see many shades of green and yellow algae. Silfra was recently ranked #15 on the World's Best Dive Sites, chosen by CNN News. With this tour, you can experience the mysteries below without being a fully qualified diver, and make a fun afternoon of it while you enjoy the national park. There are also several walking trails around Silfra if you'll like to enjoy the scenery by the water. Because you're wearing a drysuit, you'll view Silfra from the surface while the slow current carries you through a stunning underwater landscape. You stay dry underneath the drysuit, and you'll be warmer in the water, which is usually around 2–4 °C (36–39 °F). It's so cold because it is meltwater from Langjökull glacier, filtered through porous lava rock for as much as 100 years before finally flowing into the fissure at the height of purity. Go ahead, take a sip! Don't miss your chance for a refreshing dip in the purest water on earth! Check availability by choosing a date.

Silfra is a fissure between the North American and Eurasian continental plates. Silfra constantly fills with glacial water that has been trickling through underground lava rock for 30 years. This remarkable crack between two tectonic plates is therefore filled with the clearest water on our planet, allowing for over 100 meters visibility. On the snorkeling tour we will dress you in a dry suit and guide you through the four parts of the Silfra fissure. Floating through Silfra's crystal clear water is an otherworldly experience; the near-freezing water, astonishing colors, and sensations of flying provide a very unique environment for liquid meditation that you will never forget.

Don't miss out on this exciting combo tour exploring the great attractions along the Golden Circle sightseeing route with the added bonus of snorkelling 'between the continents' at Silfra Fissure. This is the perfect tour opportunity for those travellers looking to maximise their time in Iceland, balancing incredible natural attractions with adrenaline-fuelled adventure. Your day begins with a pick up from your accommodation in Iceland's capital, Reykjavík, before being whisked away on a scenic drive to the geothermal valley, Haukadalur, home to bubbling mud pools, steaming fumaroles and the hot springs, Geysir and Strokkur. Strokkur erupts every five to ten minutes, often reaching heights beyond twenty metres. Next up, you will head down to one of Iceland's most beloved attractions, Gullfoss Waterfall, otherwise known as the Golden Falls. Gullfoss is the undisputed queen of Icelandic waterfalls; water cascades 32 metres down two rocky steps, falling in a cloud of mist into a dramatic canyon below.  The third and final stop of the Golden Circle is Þingvellir National Park, the country's only UNESCO World Heritage site, and the original birthplace of the world 's oldest existing parliament, the Alþingi. In addition, it is the meeting point between the tectonic, continental plates of North America and Europe. This brings you to the final leg of the tour, snorkelling between the continents. Silfra Fissure is a glacial spring in Þingvellir and is renown as one of the most dramatic sites and beautiful scuba diving and snorkelling sites around the world. The crystal clear water, coming in at around 2°C / 35°F, boasts visibility that often exceeds 100 metres, as well as incredible panoramas over the underwater canyon itself. To participate, you must be able to swim and to comfortably attire a range of equipment, including dry suits, masks, snorkels and neoprene hoods and gloves. Thankfully, the dry suits keep guests warm throughout the experience, as well as floating at the surface. So don't delay any longer! Hurry now and you too can experience the heights of both Silfra Fissure and the Golden Circle sightseeing route. Check availability by choosing a date. 

Join this wetsuit snorkelling tour in Silfra fissure at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Thingvellir National Park. It's an out of this world adventure inside a hidden natural wonder, where the 100 m (almost 330 ft) underwater visibility and bright colours make for an unbelievable afternoon. The pristine water in Silfra is one of the purest and clearest streams you’ll find on the planet, which is why it is named Silfra (silver)! When snorkelling in Silfra, you are travelling between two continents, ending the tour in a lagoon often called "the real Blue Lagoon" because of the bright blue colour of the water. Silfra is one of the most highly regarded diving locations on earth for all these reasons and more. Located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it is one of the largest fissures on Lake Þingvallavatn, a result of the endless tension of the earth as pressure builds and earthquakes tear the landscape, widening into fissures and underwater caves. Snorkelling in Silfra rift where you are guided into this magnificent scenery is a treat for all nature lovers and adventure seeking individuals and groups. Because it is a wetsuit tour, you'll have more freedom of movement and will even be able to free dive by holding your breath. The wetsuits you will use are 6 mm in thickness and isolate the body well from the cold water. The water temperature is between 2–4 °C (36–39 °F). However, when wearing a wetsuit, water always gets underneath the suit, which slowly warms up. You'll need to bring a bathing suit to wear underneath the wetsuit. In short, you'll be able to dive deeper, but you'll be exposed to colder temperatures. If you think the water might be too cold for you, try Adventure Viking's drysuit tour, which provides the same beautiful scenery while keeping you much warmer. So don't miss your chance to see the beautiful underwater world of Silfra fissure! Check availability by choosing a date.

Admire the incredible sites of the Golden Circle, and see one of them in an exhilarating and unique new way with a snorkelling adventure in Silfra. This tour is perfect for those who want to see Iceland’s most famous places, but don’t want to miss out on any excitement. You will be picked up in the morning and head straight towards your snorkel; nothing, after all, will wake you up like a plunge into Icelandic spring water.  Þingvellir, where Silfra is located, is within the rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which are visible as soon as you enter the park. The geology and surrounding nature are breathtaking, and you will have your opportunity to explore them later in the day. First, however, you will reach Silfra and get into your snorkelling gear. When you enter the ravine, you will be instantly mesmerised by its incredible beauty. Not only is it a dramatic gorge, up to 63 metres deep, but it is a freshwater spring, with some of the clearest naturally occurring water in the world; the visibility exceeds a hundred metres. Once you have marvelled over this wonder, you will exit the water, get into your dry clothes, and start exploring Þingvellir. This park is not only famed for its geology but also its fascinating history. It was here, after all, that early Vikings formed a representative parliament in 930 AD, which still continues to this day. This makes Þingvellir the original site of the world’s longest-running parliament and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Following your walk through this area, you will head to the geothermal valley Haukadalur, home to hot springs, steam vents, and two geysers. The first of these was the first described in European literature and gave all others their name: Geysir itself. The second is Strokkur, which, unlike its neighbour, is incredibly active, erupting every ten minutes or so to heights of up to forty metres. Finally, you will head to Iceland’s most famous waterfall, Gullfoss. This majestic natural feature tumbles in two tiers into a beautiful canyon, and there are several viewing platforms to admire it from. One of these sits just feet away from where the water is falling. Do not hesitate to jump on this tour. Plunge into Silfra's depths, and explore the famed Golden Circle.

Swim between the continents with this fantastic snorkelling tour at one the top marine sites in the world, Silfra Fissure, located in the heart of Þingvellir National Park! This tour is perfect for those visitors looking to balance adventure with picturesque surroundings. The tour takes place in the country's only UNESCO World Heritage site, Þingvellir ("Fields of Parliament"). The park takes its name from a significant event in Icelandic history, the establishment of the Alþingi, the first democratically elected parliament on earth. It is also here where it was decided that Iceland would forgo its heathen belief system in preference for Christianity in 1000 AD. For these reasons and more, Þingvellir makes up one-third of Iceland's famous Golden Circle sightseeing route. At Silfra car park, your guide will provide more historical information, whilst also point out the park's main feature, the exposed North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. It is between these plates that you will be snorkelling, truly a rare experience. Your guide will proceed to provide all necessary equipment for snorkelling in Silfra; a drysuit, snorkel, mask, fins and neoprene hoods and gloves. This thermal wear is important given Silfra's chilly temperature, 2-4°Celsius. When you are all kitted up, your guide will lead you to down to the entrance point. Once snorkelling, you will be privy to a dark and dramatic underwater canyon, with visibility reaching up to 100 m. This is because of the purity of the glacial water; in fact, it's so clean that it's drinkable! You will stay floating on the water surface as the gentle current pulls you over this fantastic and hidden Icelandic paradise. You will be snorkelling at Silfra for roughly forty minutes. So why the delay? Book now to join this thrilling snorkelling tour at the gorgeous Silfra Fissure. Check availability by choosing a date. 

Jump into the deep end with this fantastic snorkelling tour in the glacial spring, Silfra Fissure, the gorge between the continents, as well as explore the dazzling interior of one of Iceland's famous lava caves. This is the perfect tour opportunity for eager adventurers looking to fit multiple activities into a single day.  You will first be picked up by your experienced guide from your accommodation in Reykjavík and driven roughly forty minutes towards your destination; the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Þingvellir National Park. Þingvellir is culturally important to Icelanders given that this is the site where the first democratically elected parliament on earth, the Althingi, was also established in 930 AD. Thingvellir is also a geological marvel; situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it is one of the only places on the planet where one can see the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates exposed from the earth. It is also the only place where it is possible to snorkel directly between them; this brings us to our first activity of the day, snorkelling in Silfra Fissure! Silfra is a glacial spring, famed for its crystal clear visibility, dramatic scenery and wealth of colour. To snorkel in the fissures, you will first listen to a briefing that details the location, as well as how to use the equipment, and will provide facts about the snorkel site itself. Thankfully, there is a light current running through Silfra, meaning it never freezes over. Once you have set foot back on dry land, you will continue towards the hidden underworld of a typical Icelandic lava cave; Leiðarendi. Stepping into this dark and subterranean world, you will immediately be taken by the peculiar rock formations and gorgeous colours that lay imprinted on the cave walls.  Make sure you're wearing some good shoes, as the cave requires a little clambering and climbing, and be sure to listen eagerly to your guide as they discuss the historical and geological relevance of Icelandic cave systems. When your time in the cave is over, you will make the return journey back to your accommodation in the capital. So what's the delay? Hurry now and you too can experience the wonders of both snorkelling and lava caving at two of Iceland's most exciting attractions.  

Marvel over Iceland’s hidden underwater world on this freediving tour of Silfra ravine. This trip should not be missed by those who love snorkelling but want more freedom than a standard drysuit tour would allow. This tour begins in the carpark by Silfra in Þingvellir National Park; you can specify during booking if you would like to be picked up and dropped off. Þingvellir is one of Iceland’s most famous spots, being the only UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Icelandic mainland as it was the original site of what is now the world’s longest-running parliament. The geology of Þingvellir is of more interest to you, however. Located right between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, it has become riddled with ravines as they have pulled apart. Due to underground meltwater travelling through the porous lava rock from Langjökull glacier, all these ravines fill with water, which has been filtered for decades.  It is thus some of the cleanest and clearest in the world. You can drink it, and see for over 120 metres. Your guide will tell you all about your route and the safety requirements, before getting you in your wetsuit and providing you with your equipment. Once your group is ready, you will head to the staircase and enter the water. The first thing you’ll notice is that it is chilly; the second thing is that it's unbelievably beautiful. You’ll warm up as you swim through Silfra, diving to its depths and exploring its dramatic features. For about forty minutes, you’ll immerse yourself in this underwater world, with far more freedom and flexibility than other snorkelers and divers in their drysuits. Once you get out of the water, you’ll return to the car-park for some hot chocolate to warm up with. Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the underwater wonderland of Silfra. Check availability by choosing a date. 

Join this fantastic snorkelling tour in the world famous Silfra Fissure, found in Iceland's only UNESCO World Heritage site, Þingvellir National Park. This is the perfect tour opportunity for adventure-hungry travellers looking to experience an activity that can be found nowhere else on earth; swimming between the continents. After being picked up from your accommodation in Iceland's capital, Reykjavík, you will be driven roughly forty minutes to one of the country's most beautiful and important regions, Þingvellir. Not only is this one of the only places in the world that you can see both the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates exposed from the earth, it is also where the world's first democratically elected parliament, the Alþingi, was formed in 930 AD.  Aside from its rich geological and historical draws, Þingvellir is also home to the glacial spring, Silfra Fissure. Here, water originating from Langjökull glacier travels for half a century through underground tunnel networks before exiting at Silfra.  The fissure itself is directly between the North American and Eurasian plates, taking the form of a deep blue canyon with visibility that can often reach 100 metres. The water at Silfra is 2-4° Celsius (35-39°Fahrenheit), never freezing thanks to the light current that runs through the fissure.  In order to give yourself thermal protection in the water, you will be wearing 7mm wetsuits; whilst thinner than a drysuit, wetsuits provide more flexibility and movement in the water, allowing you to dive and swim to your heart's content rather than merely float on the surface.  Silfra Fissure is split into three distinct segments; Silfra Hall (the fissure's widest point), Silfra Cathedral (the fissure's deepest point) and "The Real Blue Lagoon", a shallow area of cracks and sand at the fissure's end. Snorkelling in Silfra Fissure is available as a tour all year round.  So don't don't hesitate any longer. Hurry now and you too can experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the underwater majesty of Silfra Fissure. Check availability by choosing a date. 

Fully immerse yourself in Iceland’s most famous sightseeing route, by snorkelling through Silfra during your exploration of the Golden Circle. This tour should not be missed by those who want to enjoy the country’s most essential experience, without losing out on a moment of adventure. The tour begins when you are picked up from your central Reykjavík pick up point, and driven to Þingvellir National Park, the first site of the Golden Circle. This is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Icelandic Mainland because it was the original site of the world’s longest-running parliament, formed in 930 AD. Though the history is fascinating, it is the geology that is likely to impress you more. Þingvellir is located right between two tectonic plates, which are pulling apart. This tension causes many ravines to open across the lava fields, which fill up with springwater travelling underground from Langjökull glacier. Silfra is one of these ravines. After exploring the park, therefore, you will head to the carpark here and have a briefing on the route you are about to take through the water. You will be helped into your snorkelling gear before your guides will take you to the entrance. As soon as you put your face under, you will see why Silfra is considered to be one of the world’s greatest snorkelling and diving sites. Due to the long filtration process through the lava, Silfra's water emerges crystal clear and perfectly clean. The visibility exceeds 120 metres, and you can drink the water as you swim. The colours and geology under the water’s surface are incredible, and the journey is made easy and relaxing by a current pushing you along. After the tour, you will have hot chocolate and cookies to warm up, before heading off to the next site of the Golden Circle. This is the Geysir Geothermal Area in Haukadalur. Famed for its geysers and mud pots.   You will be able to see Strokkur erupt to heights of thirty metres or so every five to ten minutes. While you wait for it to go off, you can admire the many hot springs and steaming vents that dot the area. The final destination on the famed Golden Circle route is Gullfoss Waterfall. This iconic landmark has come to be a symbol of Iceland, representing its beauty and raw power. It surges in two tiers into a valley, which carves dramatically through an otherwise hilly, rural region. You will be able to marvel at Gullfoss from several different platforms. While most Golden Circle tours would turn back to Reykjavík here, yours has the bonus of also going to Kerið, a nearby crater lake. This feature is famed for its scale and its starkly contrasting colouration; the surrounding rocks are as vivid a red as the water is blue. After enjoying this final site, you will be whisked back to Reykjavík to enjoy your evening. Book now to add some adventure to your sightseeing tour of the Golden Circle. Check availability by choosing a date.

Explore the hidden wonders of Iceland with this snorkelling and lava caving combination tour. This opportunity is not to be missed by the adventurous seeking unique experiences. The tour begins when you are picked up in the morning from Reykjavík. You will be driven for forty minutes or so to Þingvellir National Park, one of the most famous sites in Iceland. Its name means ‘Fields of Parliament’, as it was the original site of the world’s longest-running parliament, formed in 930 AD. Framed by the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, Þingvellir is located right in the middle of the Mid-Atlantic Rift. The geological activity caused by the plate movement means that the park is filled with ravines, and due to the groundwater travelling through the lava, many of these are natural springs. The one that you will snorkel in is called Silfra. Before entering the water, your guides will tell you about the route and safety and gear you up in all the necessary protective equipment.  As soon as you get into the ravine, the first thing you will notice is the clarity. Due to the long filtration process, as the water travels through the porous lava rock before emerging into the spring, it has had all the sediment removed from it. It is therefore drinkable, and the visibility is over 120 metres. For up to around fifty minutes, you will be guided through Silfra by a gentle current allowing for plenty of time to marvel at the vivid blues, plunging depths, and fascinating geology without getting too cold. Even if the chill does get to you, there is hot chocolate and cookies at the end of the tour to warm up with.  Following your time at Silfra, you will head to the Reykjanes Peninsula for the caving component of this tour. This part of Iceland is renowned for its barren landscapes, endless lava fields, and many volcanoes. The cave you are heading to is called Leiðarendi, which sits at the base of the Bláfjöll mountain range. Formed by two eruptions a millennium apart, it is a perfect example of the network of tubes that snake beneath Iceland’s lava landscapes. You will gear up with a helmet and light before heading into Leiðarendi’s depths. Within the cave, you will notice beautiful colouration, caused by different elements churned up in the eruptions. There are also features such as stalagmites and stalactites to admire and photograph—just be careful not to touch them, as they will never grow back if broken. This particular lava tube is great fun to traverse as it is entirely natural. That means there will be certain points where you have to do some clambering and crawling, adding to the adventure. Do not miss this opportunity to explore Iceland, beneath the surface of its water and lava landscapes. Check availability by choosing a date.

Combine snorkelling and horse-riding on this action-packed day tour. This excursion should not be missed by those who are eager to actively immerse themselves in Iceland’s nature. You’ll be picked up from downtown Reykjavík in the morning, and your guides will drive you to Þingvellir National Park, where your snorkel will be conducted. Þingvellir is the original site of the world’s longest-running, ongoing parliament, but better famed for its dramatic geology. The North American and Eurasian tectonic plates visibly frame the park, and the tension caused by the way in which they pull apart has torn many ravines and fissures through the landscapes in the area. These fissures fill with spring water, as the lava fields of Þingvellir have a lot of groundwater travelling from Langjökull glacier. Due to the underground filtration process, the water that emerges in the fissures is so clean that it is drinkable and so clear that you can see for over 120 metres.  Before exploring the ethereal underwater world in one of these fissures, Silfra, your guides will tell you about the route, safety, and equipment. After gearing up, you’ll be escorted to the entrance and assisted into the blue. Throughout the forty minutes or so that you spend in the water, you will be left with no illusions as to why Silfra is considered one of the world’s best snorkelling and diving locations. The scale, colouration and clarity combine to make this an incredible underwater experience that you will never forget. You’ll warm up after the tour with hot chocolate and cookies, before travelling back along the route you came to the valley of Mosfellsdalur, where your horses are waiting. Again, you’ll get a quick safety briefing and be provided with the necessary equipment, before meeting your steeds.  Icelandic horses are incredibly special creatures. They are much friendlier, more sociable and smarter than other breeds, as well as being notably smaller. Their size and disposition make them perfect for beginners, although more experienced riders will be more than content and able to try out the unique gait, the 'tölt', that only Icelandic horses have. You’ll be paired with a horse that suits your experience, before setting out into Mosfellsdalur. There are beautiful rivers, towering mountains, and verdant country to explore here, and there is no better way to do it than by horseback. After an enjoyable ride, you’ll return to your van, and be taken back to Reykjavík. Combine two fantastic experiences into a single day with this awesome combination tour. Check availability by choosing a date.

Start your day in Iceland with a morning snorkelling tour in the world-renowned Silfra fissure, and end it with an afternoon whale watching excursion. This tour should not be missed by those eager to immerse themselves in pristine nature. At the beginning of this combo tour, a shuttle bus will pick you up and take you to one of Iceland's most precious natural sites, Þingvellir National Park, which is home to the otherworldly Silfra fissure. Silfra's crystal clear glacier water allows for over 100 m (328 ft) of visibility and an unmatched view of otherworldly underwater landscapes that make up the continental rift which separates the European and American tectonic plates. Although the water is 2° Celsius throughout the year, you will be equipped with state-of-the-art drysuits to completely protect you from the cold. After a thrilling and mesmerising excursion, complete with hot chocolate at the end, the shuttle will take you Reykjavík's Old Harbour in time for your whale watch. You'll board a boat with an indoor saloon, café and several outdoor viewing platforms. The whale-watch will be approximately three hours long, which should be more than enough time to see a wealth of species. Humpback and Minke Whales, alongside White-Beaked Dolphins and Harbour Porpoises, are the most commonly seen, although over twenty species of cetacean frequent Iceland's waters, so no two whale-watches are the same. And that is to say nothing of the many seabirds flying above. Between sightings, you have the opportunity to observe some incredible nature. Opposite Reykjavík across Faxaflói Bay is the incredible Mount Esja. To the South, you should also be able to spot the Reykjanes Peninsula; in clear weather, you can also see the Snæfellsnes Peninsula to the north. Don't miss out on an opportunity to see both Iceland's beautiful marine animals and one of the world's most magnificent snorkelling spots. Check availability by choosing a date above.

Embark on a snorkelling adventure in Silfra fissure, located in Þingvellir National Park, for a chance of experiencing the otherworldly sensation of drifting between two tectonic plates. This incredible tour is for anyone looking for a personal and unforgettable underwater experience in the lava fields of Iceland. Your snorkelling tour starts in Reykjavík city, where you will be picked up and driven through the geological wonders of Þingvellir National Park. Reaching your destination, you will be met by a certified diving instructor and provided with the necessary snorkelling gear and information for a safe snorkelling experience in Silfra.

Silfra is the largest and deepest of these fissures. From above it looks like a regular lake, but submerge yourself in the water, and you’ll find yourself in a sub-aquatic paradise, hovering in the gap between two continents. The pristine water of Silfra fissure comes from Langjökull, Iceland's second largest glacier. The glacial water is astonishingly clear and can generate an underwater visibility of up to 100 metres. A specially designed dry suit will keep you warm and comfortable as you venture into the ice-cold water. Once in the water, you'll be able to see magnificent rock formations and shadowy caves that were formed by centuries of earthquakes. You'll witness the incredible colours of the waters; the otherworldly shades of blue, green and yellow that will instantly mesmerise you.
