I did this with my partner for our anniversary and it was honestly something I’ll never forget. The water was SO CLEAR, like looking through glass!! We were a little nervous about the cold but the dry suits are pretty decent, I didn't feel anything until I got out (bring thick socks, trust me). Our guide, Tom, was super chill and cracked jokes the whole time so I wasn't as freaked about the tight neck thing. I was worried my hair would get wet but nope, all good. It’s a bit of a faff getting into the gear but once you’re in the water, wow. There’s this EPIC moment when you’re floating and you realize you’re between two continents. Kinda surreal. Only downside – bit of a wait before we started, maybe 20 mins? Worth it though, def recommend if you want something different!

Went with my two teenage kids and they loved it way more than I expected! The guide (shoutout to Emma) was so patient, especially with my son who was nervous about the suit. The water is FREEZING but honestly, you don’t feel it—only my lips got cold. It was a bit crowded at the start (lots of groups) but once we split up, felt peaceful. The colors underwater are wild, like nothing I’ve seen. Bring a towel for afterwards, you’ll want it. Would totally do it again.

Went solo. Never done anything like this before and felt a bit out of my depth but staff were SUPER friendly and patient. The suit was weirdly tight around my wrists, ended up with red marks lol. Water’s cold but you don’t really feel it after a while. Visibility is unreal. Not the longest experience but totally unique. Can’t take pics inside the changing area, fyi. Would’ve loved more time in the water but group after us was already waiting. Still, really cool.

All snorkeling equipment, an English-speaking guide, national park entry, hot chocolate, and free underwater photos and hotel pick-up are included.

Such an UNFORGETTABLE time! I was so nervous but the guides were super reassuring, walked us through every step. My boyfriend is a diver and he said this was unlike anything he’s done. Floating over those rocks… it’s just WOW. We even got a bunch of photos at the end (didn’t think we would!). Only tiny thing, the walk back in the suits is awkward and you waddle like a penguin. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Did this as a birthday treat for myself. Best. Decision. Ever. The feeling of floating between continents is honestly something that sticks with you. I had a tiny panic when putting the suit on (it’s TIGHT) but the guide was super calm and let me take my time. Once in the water, it’s magical. I got loads of pics. Bring extra socks and maybe a thermos for hot tea after. Totally recommend!

Snorkel between tectonic plates in Silfra’s crystal-clear waters on this half-day guided adventure, with free underwater photos included.

Getting started

Meet your English-speaking guide at the Silfra car park in Thingvellir National Park after getting picked up from Reykjavik. After a short briefing and equipment fitting, your guide will review safety procedures and answer any questions before you head to the water’s edge.

What to expect

Silfra fissure

Located in Thingvellir National Park, Silfra is a unique rift where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart by about 2 centimeters each year. Glacial meltwater, filtered through volcanic rock for a century, fills this fissure, creating some of the clearest water on the planet.

Features

Snorkeling between continents: Swim directly in the gap between two continents, a geological phenomenon found only at Silfra.

Exceptional water clarity: Enjoy visibility of over 100 meters, allowing you to see vivid underwater colors and rock formations.

Wetsuit experience: The wetsuit lets you dive just below the surface for a closer look at Silfra’s features, while still keeping you relatively warm in 2–4°C water.

Free underwater photos: Capture your adventure with complimentary photos taken during your snorkeling session.

Guide expertise: Your guide shares insights into Silfra’s geology and ensures a safe, informative experience throughout your 30–40 minutes in the water.
