Drysuit Snorkeling in Silfra with Free photos | Meet on Site

Add some incredible adventure to your stay in Iceland with this snorkelling tour between tectonic plates. This tour is perfect for those who want an exciting and unique way to see Iceland.

Iceland is a place abundant with natural beauty, and this tour will take you headfirst into it. Þingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It sits within the famous Golden Circle of Iceland. The Golden Circle is a group of attractions that are considered must-sees on a stay here.

Þingvellir is also the place where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The point where they converge is under a body of water called the Silfra Fissure, and with this tour, you can dive right into it.

Your tour will begin at the meeting point on site. You will be given a safety briefing and fitted with a drysuit. Drysuits are precisely what they sound like, a suit that allows you to enter the water and stay dry. 

Once you have been geared up, you will be ready to take the plunge. The drysuit makes anyone float, allowing the current of the water to carry you along gently. The waters of the Sifra fissure are incredibly clear, with visibility of up to 100 m (330 ft). As you snorkel, you will get a fantastic view of the world beneath you.

The deep underwater cliffs have been created by earthquakes over hundreds of years, causing the fissure to get wider as pressure is released from the earth’s crust. The experience is second to none.

The waters of Silfra stay at a consistent temperature of around 2-4 °C (36–39 °F) all year round, so with the help of your drysuit, this experience is comfortable as well. Silfra is the only place in the world where you can have this kind of adventure.
