Tour description

Snorkeling Silfra Selfdrive Tour 

This is a selfdrive tour. 

The tour starts at Silfra at the time stated above on this ticket; please be 15 min early. If you arrive after the time, your place on tour cannot be guaranteed.

Please follow the map on page 2 of this ticket. Driving time to Silfra from Reykjavík is ca. 1 hour.

Please note that the National Park charges a 500 ISK fee for car parking to be paid at the meter in the parking lot.

Silfra

Silfra is a fissure between the North American and Eurasian continental plates. Silfra constantly fills with glacial water trickling through underground lava rock for 30 years. This remarkable crack between two tectonic plates is filled with the clearest water on our planet, allowing for over 100 meters of visibility.

On the snorkeling tour, we will dress you in a dry suit and guide you through the four parts of the Silfra fissure. Floating through Silfra’s crystal clear water is an otherworldly experience; the near-freezing water, stunning colors, and flying sensations provide a unique environment for liquid meditation that you will never forget.
