What people say

"This is a bucket list experience - the only place on earth where you can snorkel between continental plates. Experience Iceland’s incredible geology from underwater at Silfra, a fissure between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates at Thingvellir National Park. Don a dry suit and snorkel or scuba dive your way through ultra-clear waters, admiring the luminous plants and rocks as you embrace the uniqueness of this experience. You can either choose to do this including a transfer from Reykjavik or meet on at the location and I've put links to both options. If you have hired a car I suggest meeting on location and combining it with seeing Oxarafoss- a beautiful waterfall a short 15 walk from the Silfra fissure plates, and also driving to see Geysir and Gulfoss.

"Combined Silfra snorking and spa stop in link. This is a must-do activity that requires very little mobility (after getting the suit on) or skill. Beautifully clear glacier water, ZERO fish and an amazing experience to swim between tectonic plates. "
"The Silfra fissure, considered one of the clearest places in the world for diving and snorkeling, is located near Thingvellir National Park."
