Drysuit Snorkeling in Silfra - with underwater photos / From Reykjavik

Silfra is one of the world’s top diving and snorkeling destinations, located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Thingvellir, just 50 km from Reykjavík. This unique freshwater fissure reaches depths of 60–63 meters, with water so clear that visibility extends nearly end to end, creating an almost surreal sensation of flying underwater. Surrounded by stunning volcanic rock formations and the dramatic Icelandic landscape, snorkeling in Silfra offers an unforgettable experience that combines adventure with the serenity of pristine, untouched nature.

While snorkeling in a drysuit provides insulation from the cold glacial water, Adventure Vikings recommends the wetsuit option for a more dynamic and enjoyable experience. As the only Icelandic company offering wetsuit snorkeling in Silfra, we ensure you can dive, float, and explore the fissure freely, rather than remaining mostly on the surface. No prior diving experience or license is required, making it accessible for everyone who wants to experience the thrill of gliding through one of the clearest waters on the planet.
