AH72  Into the Blue - Snorkeling All year round


Highlights:
  • Snorkeling in Silfra


Tour Description:

The Silfra fissure is one of Iceland’s best kept secrets. Silfra, which is situated in the heart of Þingvellir, the site of the world’s oldest parliament, is an otherworldly scene. The crystal clear water in the deep fissure gives you a feeling of being weightless as you float down with the lazy current. Frequently rated as one of the worlds top ten dive sites, the Silfra offers up to 100 meters of underwater visibility and is  located on top of the separation between Europe and America! After an hour of snorkeling we climb out and head back to the car. Into the Blue is a relaxing but exotic trip in an environment most will only encounter in their dreams.

It was stunning... I was a bit apprehensive before, as I am old enough, but for my daughterss sake I had to take on this crazy tour. Bathing in wintertime in a water which temperature is only two degree Celsius? Crazy enough. We had a wonderful young guide, Palli, a chatty boy with good sense of humour. The water itself wasnt shocking, as we didnt feel it cold at all. However to turn around in the swimming suit and to use the flippers and the snorkel properly - well, as a beginner, I had to get used to it. Then seeing the abyss underneath... The North-American tectonic plate to the left and the Eurasian one is on the right hand. Breath-taking scenery below, blue-green rocks and crystal-clear glacier water. As if I was hovering above a chasm like a bird. The only thing, we didnt like, it was too short... we didnt feel like going out of the water.

We really enjoyed the trip - clambering into the dry suit in driving snow was an interesting experience not to be missed! (very glad we already had the undersuit on); However once it was on, we were positively toasty in and out of the water. The guide (Laurent) ensured my girlfriend & I both had a very safe and enjoyable trip despite our very different levels of experience.

Once in a lifetime adventure. No where else can you snorkle between two tectonic plates like this! Great tour guide who provided us with the best equipment. Could not believe we could be comfortable in 4 degree water.

Fantastic trip and would highly recommend the adventure. The guide was incredible and very open to so many conversations about Iceland life. The dive was a little shorter than I would have ultimately liked but the overall trip far exceeded my expectations.
