PRIVATE: Silfra Snorkeling - with underwater photos / Meet on Location

Silfra is one of the world’s most renowned diving and snorkeling sites, located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Thingvellir, just 50 km from Reykjavik. This extraordinary freshwater fissure reaches depths of 60–63 meters, with water so clear that visibility stretches almost from end to end, creating an otherworldly sensation of floating through the crystal-clear waters. Surrounded by dramatic volcanic landscapes, snorkeling in Silfra offers a unique opportunity to experience the geological wonder of Iceland while gliding between two tectonic plates in pristine, tranquil waters.

While snorkeling in a drysuit provides insulation against the cold glacial water, Adventure Vikings highly recommends the wetsuit option for a more dynamic and enjoyable experience. As the only Icelandic company offering wetsuit snorkeling in Silfra, we provide guests the freedom to dive and float through the fissure rather than staying largely on the surface. No prior diving experience or license is needed, making this adventure accessible to anyone looking to explore one of Iceland’s most spectacular natural wonders.
