Snorkeling Silfra under the Midnight Sun

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

During the summer months in Iceland when the sun only briefly dips below the horizon, diving in the bright night in Silfra is an especially magical experience. Thingvellir Park is particularly quiet and serene at this time and the low sun creates a beautiful, calm atmosphere.

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, astonishing colours, and the sensations of flying provide a unique environment for liquid meditation that you will never forget.https://dive.bokun.io/v2/products/activities/editor/6492/activity/videos
