Silfra Snorkel - Between Continents - When Quality Matters

The Silfra Fissure offers a unique opportunity to snorkel between tectonic plates but with glacier-fed waters staying 35–39°F (2–4°C) year-round, warmth is essential.

This tour was amazing. I...

This tour was amazing. I was very nervous that I wouldn’t have much to eat since I do not eat seafood, but they adjusted each meal for me, and everything was delicious!! Our tour guide was Karitas, and she was awesome. So funny and well educated for each site that we stopped at.

Absolutely amazing.

This was AMAZING. The suits are an experience in and of themselves, but kept us very dry and very buoyant. The water was unbelievably clear and Nail was incredible, especially with my mom. The time passed so fast, I could have kept going for much longer. I soaked up every moment I could exploring the lagoon after the Silfra. Unreal.

Earth & Water, Perfect together

Hiking underground in the largest lava tunnel in Iceland and dry suit snorkel-flying in the fissure between two continents-what could be better. Just an amazing experience beyond the norm. When they turn off the lights it is total blackness in the tunnel. Not hard hiking but captivating knowing you are surrounded by lava! There is just enough current in the fissure to make you feel you flying rather than snorkeling. If it wasn’t for the cold around your mask and hands you could easily forget. It reminded of tales of sunken Atlantis, huge blocks of stone laid on top of one another to make impenetrable walls on either side with a clear bright channel in between. Although the depth can be more than 90 feet, good luck getting a dry suit below the surface! I tried hard with zero luck. Loved both experiences, highly recommend each one!

If you do one thing in...

If you do one thing in Iceland, it should be this. Highest recommendation. Groups are limited to six people (I think that's Silfra's rules) which makes for a very personal experience. Our guide was so thorough and friendly. The photos he took were incredible. I had no experience snorkeling previously and should add, it's taxing on the body. The medical waiver they send is legit. Anyone can do it, but just know it's more than just floating there. If you do this, make sure to take a sip of the water! The best I've ever tasted.

Snorkeling between 2 tectonic plates - something normal people never get to do.

Snorkeling between 2 tectonic plates is not something that the normal person can do. Usually snorkeling consists of a warm water island and seeing a lot of fish. Snorkeling in Iceland was very different. We had "dry" suits that kept us afloat and kept us dry. Doris, our guide, was excellent. She told us what to look at underwater and took many photos of my family and I with the GoPro she had. The water was cold, but it was crystal clear. You could see down to the bottom no matter how deep it was. The amount of time you actually stay in the water was about 30-40 minutes. It seems like a long time in cold water, but it passed very quickly. Even if you do not snorkel, you will be able to do this tour. Especially since the suit keeps you afloat. If you are going to visit Iceland, book this tour. The people are great, especially Doris.

Bucket List Experience!

This was an amazing experience! Kaya our instructor walked us through each step with our equipment and then expertly guided during our snorkeling trip. I was nervous getting ready because the equipment can be tight and uncomfortable, but as soon as I was in the water that all went away! Thank you to Kaya for all your help!

Definitely a Once in a lifetime experience

Amazing snorkel tour between the continents. Kevin was excellent in his pre experience talk and during. A unique natural wonder. Stayed dry the entire time. The clarity of the water was remarkable. We did not see any fish but the experience was enough.

Very fun!

This was a great time! Enough mix of exciting and funny to keep it a fun experience. Anil was a great guide and kept us all feeling very safe and secure, explained the experience well before hand so we all felt prepared. Suit is right around the neck on land, though in the water the air in the suit makes the feeling go away- a very cold but great time! Hot chocolate after made the experience too :) photos after we’re both beautiful and hilarious.

Iliana was a great guide!

Iliana did a wonderful job making everyone comfortable with the equipment and the water! While definitely tourist adventure, totally glad I did it. The photos do not do the visibility justice. It’s beautiful. Oh. And giving customers free GoPro photos via Google Drive is super appreciated.

10000/10 experience...

10000/10 experience absolutely must do!!! Max was our tour guide for most of the day and was fabulous and Abbie was our instructor for the snorkel section. Max was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the environment and history of all of the places we got to see and even let us stop to see the ponies!! Abbie took amazing pictures and made sure we all felt safe and comfortable prior to getting in the water. Such a unique amazing experience and could not say enough great things!!!
