Silfra: Guided Snorkeling Adventure from Reykjavik
About this experience
Drive 50 minutes from Reykjavik to Silfra, one of the top 10 snorkeling spots in the world. Found in Thingvellir National Park, this fissure lies between two tectonic plates that drift apart annually 2–3 cm (1 inch).
Silfra's glacier water is filtered through lava fields over decades, providing unmatched purity. Visibility can reach over 100 meters (300 feet), revealing rock formations and freshwater algae.
The water temperature stays between 2–4°C (35°F) throughout the year. High-quality drysuits keep you warm as you float through this unique environment.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
