Silfra Snorkelling: The 15 Best Tours at Þingvellir

41 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.9 average  ·  from $140

Two degrees, a dry suit over thermals, and about a hundred metres of visibility in glacial meltwater that filtered through lava for decades. Every operator wants a health form and a swimming declaration first, and there is a minimum age. These 15 compare group size, whether photos are included and whether pickup from Reykjavík is.

Snorkel Silfra between tectonic plates in a drysuit, guided past Hall and Cathedral, then warm up with hot cocoa in Reykjavik.

“Great experience largely because of our guide Filip who was excellent and kept us amused during the inevitable periods of waiting for other groups in front of us. We really liked the small size of our group (5) which made for a much more intimate experience.”

Our guide Will guided us through it all and explained exactly how the equipment worked, told us where to look for the best views in the water and took some great pictures for us! Would definitely recommend, at the end you get about 5 minutes to spend in the Silfra Lagoon and you can explore yourself, Will suggested where would be best to look and then helped us out of the water. Incredible experience and amazing guides!!”

Silfra snorkeling from Reykjavik in a drysuit, swim between tectonic plates, small group, hot chocolate, and free underwater photos.

“Mesmerising experience, beautiful to see would recommend going. Took me a while to control where I was going, but it’s not an overly strenuous activity & if I can keep up with the pace I’m sure it won’t be a problem for most people. Our guide Nebo was great, very informative and likes to crack a joke. Reading other reviews we were worried that we would be too cold, but the suit kept us dry and Nebo told us what to expect. No real opportunity to take photos on the journey there as it’s still dark but lovely photo opportunities on the short walk over the bridge from car park…”

“Beware, horrible customer service with Viator and arctic. “Not recommended” for pregnant women is noted but actually you’ll be refused service here. As an avid diver and experienced snorkeler- there is zero risk snorkeling aka floating in a dry suit on the surface. One says risk is “the suit being tight” the other says risk if “water got in the suit.”They will refuse you going and then take your money and refuse any refund. Skip ladies!”
