Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience with a snorkeling tour of Silfra fissure!

Float between two tectonic plates, between the continents, in the clearest water in the world (100m+ visibility) while admiring the mesmerizing colors of this underwater world.

You don’t need to be a certified diver in order to experience water at its clearest! Snorkeling at Silfra is suitable for anyone who feels comfortable in water and knows how to swim. This family-friendly activity is suitable for children from 12 years old.

The snorkeling tour of Silfra is done in a dry suit, helping you to stay warm and dry inside the suit while swimming in the cold, crystal clear water.

Silfra is located in Thingvellir National Park which is a Unesco heritage site. The beautiful park is one of the wonders on the famous Golden circle route.

I had a fantastic snorkeling with Dive.is. The guide Diogo was super friendly and gave very clear instructions. It’s easy to follow even for first timers like me. We went on a sunny day and the view into the fissure was clear. Even though the deepest is 44 m, it was not as scary as it sounds. All staff were super nice and helpful.
I would highly recommend dive.is.

Arnar was our guide and he wascexcellent. We paid for a private family tour with p/u from our cruise ship. He was on time, explained the history and pointed out sites on our drive to Sifra. There - he was patient and explained everything thoroughly. He made sure all 4 of us stayed together and took photos as part of our private tour package. After, he helped with gear and served some of the best hot chocolate we've ever had and chocolate cookies. He even paused on the drive back so we could get a family photo at the lookout point. An excellent adventure with a 10-star guide.

The only confusion prior was thr Dive.is link for payment didn't work but we eventually connected on the phone. They were most helpful. A great company with good coorespondance.

This was an amazing experience! Our guide and driver Henry was extremely friendly and made everything super fun. I went by myself and everything went super smoothly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a little well organised adventure. There were plenty of people around to help you every step of the way and I felt extremely well prepared for snorkelling in such cold water. Thanks to everyone at Dive.is and Henry especially for an amazing day.

This was the entire reason I booked a trip to Iceland - I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday swimming in Silfra, a huge bucket list item for me! And it was totally worth every second, even though it was cold (but the dry suits make it negligible). Jake was a knowledgeable and fun guide, and I wouldn't have wanted to spend my birthday any other way.

Great experience! I've dived and snorkeled a lot, but this was amazing! Really nice and competent guide (thanks Emilo) small group, even though it was pretty busy, no crowds. Well organized! Very good instructions. It's a bit different with a dry suit like that! You can't put it on or take it off without help! I was in the water for over an hour and only got out because my hands were getting a bit cold. Warning! People over 60 need a doctor's note! For whatever reason... I had asked beforehand and brought it with me. But I was also the oldest... It was incredibly fun and I can only recommend it!

Very good experience. Although the temperature was less than 10 degrees, it was not cold at all to put on clothes and snorkel. The water was so beautiful and the visibility was excellent. The coach was very professional and took care of everyone from beginning to end.
