Snorkel day tour agenda

Meet at Silfra where all dive cars are. Go over safety and area, put on our gear and snorkel through our lovely Silfra together where you have the best visibility possible and have the best snorkel equipment possible also. All our guides are professionals and know very much about our land and culture so you can ask away.

After you have been in the water we go out and get a lovely cup of cocoa and take off our gear. After that you should spend some time in the park and let our history soak in. As a nice thing we have "The wall" in Game of thrones in front of us wich is a nice thing to walk through and reinact some scenes.

Know before you go

Activity takes place in Þingvellir National Park. Silfra is a UNESCO site. We recomend adding 1-2 hours after tour to do sightseeing in the area. (If you have your own car ofcause) The 'Wall' in Game of thrones (GOT) is situated on site, a very beautiful waterfall among many other beautiful landmarks. After all, it´s a national park and sightseeing is well worth it.
