Wetsuit Snorkeling in Silfra - with underwater photos / From Reykjavik

Experience the thrill of snorkeling in Iceland’s Silfra, one of the world’s top dive sites. Adventure Vikings offers a unique wetsuit snorkeling experience that allows you to dive beneath the surface and explore the underwater wonders of this pristine fissure. While the wetsuit covers your entire body, it does not completely protect against the cold water — yet the experience is unforgettable. No diving license or prior experience is needed, and all necessary gear is provided. Wetsuit snorkeling is highly recommended for greater freedom and flexibility, while drysuits are also available for those who prefer to stay dry and float on the surface.

Snorkeling in Silfra means floating between two continents — Europe and North America — in an exotic underwater canyon located at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Thingvellir, just 50 km from Reykjavik. The fissure was formed as the tectonic plates drift apart at about 2 cm per year, creating a unique and dramatic underwater landscape. With crystal-clear water offering visibility of over 100 meters, the sensation is almost like flying. This combination of geological wonder, pristine waters, and immersive snorkeling makes Silfra an unforgettable Icelandic adventure.
