Silfra: Guided Wetsuit Snorkeling
About this experience
Snorkel at Silfra, a top site in Thingvellir National Park, and see where two tectonic plates drift apart by 2 cm (1 inch) each year. Enjoy 100m (300ft) visibility in clear glacial water while spotting rock formations and freshwater algae.
The water comes from Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. It is filtered naturally for up to 100 years through volcanic lava fields, resulting in some of the cleanest water on Earth.
Wear a 7mm wetsuit to dive beneath the surface and stay warm while swimming in the cold water. A wetsuit keeps you warm by trapping a thin layer of water between your body and the suit, which your body heat warms up.

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.
