Snorkeling Silfra Golden Circle Tour from Reykjavik

Overview

Enjoy this day trip from Reykjavik to Thingvellir National Park and experience snorkelling between two continental plates - the North American and Eurasian in the clear waters of Silfra.

Once you are picked up from your hotel, your driver/guide will driver you to Thingvellir National Park in a 4Ã—4 jeep (about 1 hour away). Once you arrive, your guide will give you information about the history of UNESCO-protected Thingvellir.

Then you will head off to Silfra fissure, where you will be given a thermal undergarment (Teddy-bear suit) and dry suit with snorkelling equipment (all snorkelling equipment is well-maintained and top of the line). Your guide will show you how to use the equipment to ensure a pleasant snorkelling trip. You will then gently float down the four main parts of Silfra - the Big Crack, Silfra hall, the Cathedral and finally the Silfra lagoon.

After the snorkelling tour you will explore Thingvellir National Park, and then head to the famous hot-spring Geysir and its area created by earth-quakes. You will get a chance to see the nearby geyser Strokkur, which erupts much more frequently than Geysir. After exploring the geyser area, you will take a lunch break, before heading to the nearby Gullfoss (Golden Falls) waterfall there you are given the opportunity to stand next to one off the most beautiful waterfalls in Europe.

Then you will be dropped-off at your hotel.
