Your destination is Thingvellir National Park, a site recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Upon arrival, you’ll embark on a brief expedition through the park’s volcanic terrain festooned with moss. During this exploration, you’ll be accompanied by a PADI Divemaster guide who is both friendly and knowledgeable.
Afterwards, you’ll be provided with all the required snorkeling equipment for your adventure in Silfra, including thermal drysuits, neoprene hoods and gloves, along with snorkels and fins. This gear will not only keep you floating while in the fissure but also shield you from the water.
As you plunge into the water, you’ll be captivated by the stunning hues of blue that dominate the fissure, as well as the natural underwater vegetation adorning the canyon walls. In the unique experience of swimming between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, you’ll be swimming between continents. Complimentary GoPRO images of your tour will be forwarded to you via email upon the tour’s completion.
