Your journey begins with a comfortable pick-up from your designated bus stop in Reykjavik. As you make your way to Silfra, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of Iceland's stunning natural landscapes. The drive takes approximately 50 minutes, giving you ample time to soak in the beauty of your surroundings.

Upon arrival at Silfra, located in the Thingvellir National Park, you must complete a medical form before meeting your knowledgeable snorkeling guide.

After getting geared up and receiving a briefing on snorkeling techniques and safety procedures, you can leave your belongings in secure bags. Then, with your dry suit on, you'll embark on a short 5-minute walk towards Silfra.

As you approach the magical Silfra Fissure, you'll be amazed by the crystal-clear water that boasts visibility of over 328 feet (100 meters). This pristine water originates from the melted ice of the Langjokull glacier, making it one of the purest in the world.

Throughout the activity, your highly professional guides will ensure your safety and provide fascinating insights into the geology of the area. They'll share stories about the formation of Silfra, the tectonic movements that continue to shape the landscape, and the unique ecosystem that thrives in these frigid waters.

Afterward, you can replenish your energy with a delicious Hraun chocolate bar, known for its blend of Icelandic flavors and energy-boosting properties. Paired with it, you'll warm up with a comforting cup of rich hot chocolate, perfect for those chilly Icelandic days. 

You'll have the chance to mingle with fellow snorkelers, sharing stories of your underwater adventure.
