Start your day with an unforgettable adventure snorkeling in Silfra, one of the world’s most unique underwater sites. Float between the continents in the crystal-clear waters of this freshwater fissure, where visibility can reach over 100 meters. The vivid shades of blue, striking rock formations, and serene silence make it an otherworldly experience found nowhere else on Earth. After exploring this magical underwater wonder, continue your Icelandic adventure with the Snorkeling and FlyOver Iceland Combo, a perfect mix of real and virtual exploration that showcases the country’s stunning beauty from two incredible perspectives.
Next, head to the vibrant Grandi Harbor District to experience FlyOver Iceland, a breathtaking flight simulation that takes you soaring across Iceland’s majestic landscapes. Suspended with your feet dangling before a 20-metre spherical screen, you’ll glide over glaciers, fjords, and volcanic terrains as the wind, mist, and scent effects make the journey feel astonishingly real. The immersive pre-show, guided by a storyteller and the friendly troll Sú Vitra, brings Icelandic myths and nature to life before your flight begins. The beautifully designed FlyOver Iceland building also features a cozy café and a boutique filled with handpicked local treasures — the perfect place to unwind after your virtual journey through Iceland’s natural wonders.

Amazing experience to snorkel in between the tectonic plates. You get a warm overall and are fitted into a dry suit so that the seal fit tight around your neck and wrists. Good and gloves are semi-dry, but the water is so cold that they go rather numb than hurting. View was 10/10 worth it. Could be more scientific input, eg. background to the tectonic plates, how it affects the eco system etc, but all in all a great experience!
My sister and I went snorkeling in the Silfra Fissure in July, our guide Frede was amazing — hilarious, super knowledgeable, and had the van vibing to the best 00s rock/indie playlist. The van to the site was super nice too. It was a small group of six of us (plus our guide), which was perfect — easy to bond, chat, and then geek out together while floating between tectonic plates. The water is crystal clear and absolutely stunning — you’re literally drifting between continents. Don’t expect lots of fish or plants (this water is ~2–4°C / 35–39°F, nothing cute is thriving here), but the clarity and geology are unreal. You can even drink the water and… yes, I did. I am now a glacier-water sommelier and I give it 5 stars. They give you two suits to ward of the wet — body stays warm, hands and face get a spicy glacial tingle but you’ll be fine. There is a bathroom nearby, but it’s smaller, so don’t plan to fully change there. We stopped at a visitor center beforehand and they let us change there, which was clutch. Be prepared to float. You mostly hover, bob, and gently steer like a confused seal. The walk to the entry point is short but awkward, so have fun waddling there. 🐧 it’s worth it I promise. No long wait times, even though it was packed. Very smooth process, great guide, and seriously a core memory experience. If you’re on the fence, do it. And bring base layers to wear under the suits — especially if you run cold.
My daughter and I did this tour on Oct. 25th. The coldest part was standing around waiting for the group to be geared up and then waiting to enter the water. Once in the 2.0C water it was fine! Snorkeling between the tectonic plates was an experience not to forget. The water was very clear and the current just carries you along! Our guide, Guillaume was fantastic! The photos are hilarious!
This was our favorite experience in all of our two weeks of Iceland! The guides made us feel very safe and helped us get all of our gear on quickly. I’m someone who is a bit claustrophobic, so the tight suit/headpiece made me a little nervous, but I’m telling you it is worth it to experience this! Plus, they start you in a shallow, still water area where you can bail out if you aren’t comfortable. The only part of you that touches the freezing water is around your face and through the gloves they give you. Everything else was perfectly warm and stayed dry. The experience is just so unique and you can’t get it anywhere else so take advantage of this opportunity!
It’s really not as cold as I thought it would be. I’ve never been to a place with better water quality than this. Tour guide James is very easy going, we didn’t really know how to swim and still comfortably finished the tour.
It was an experience. But once is enough. Clear water and great views. But no life. It was interesting to explore the different colors and rocks while snorkeling. It was my first time snorkeling in a dry suit. Putting it on and taking it off, as well as snorkeling in a dry suit (you have so much buoyancy) were highlights for me. The Fly Over Iceland was very good—5 stars! Unfortunately, it was too short; I could have experienced it longer. Worth it!
