Tours, sightseeing tours, activities & things to do | Viator.comGrab the chance to snorkel the pristine waters of Lake Silfra, one of the world's top 10 diving sites. Visibility in this glacial water is as clear as you'll get – and where else in the world can you go snorkeling between two continents?!
Accompanied by a PADI dive master or PADI instructor, this four-hour snorkeling excursion is suitable for beginners or more advanced snorkelers. Expert tuition and guidance are provided, along with all the necessary equipment.
If you are interested in seeing Iceland underwater, then this tour is for you! Silfra is a crack or fissure in the face of the earth, between the Eurasian and American plates which are drifting apart by a few inches every year. The water in Silfra comes up from the lava, after traveling underground from Iceland's glaciers. You'll find that swimming out of the fissure is effortless because of the mild current that propels you forward.
