MEET YOUR GUIDE ON SITE
Snorkel between the continents
Þingvellir National Park is among the highlights of Iceland’s most famous road trip route, the Golden Circle. Book your snorkeling adventure and take your road trip to another level. You can meet your guide at the site fifteen minutes before your tour starts at 11:00 or 13:00.
Note that only tour operators are allowed park at the dive site. You can use the National park parking lot P5 near the meeting point. The National Park charges a parking fee to cover cost for operating and servicing the parking lots.
Snerkeling in Silfra in the national park Þingvellir is a spectacular experience. The water is as clear as can be. Even though the water is cold, around 4° C, you will be warm and well-protected by the dry suit.
Silfra in Þingvellir is a dive site highly ranked in several dive magazines and forums for decades. The water is pristine, clear groundwater streaming into the lava ravine where you will be floating between the continental plates. The underground water streams have travelled through the lava for decades before coming into the ravine, where you can slowly drift through and enjoy visibility that is as good as it can be. In fact, your visibility will not be limited by sediments and particles but by the landscape itself: the continental plate edges.
Þingvellir National Park is interesting from many perspectives, history, geology and ecology to name three. Þingvellir plays major role in the history of Iceland and is in fact a cultural treasure on global level concerning history of democracy as such. The name Þingvellir, or Assembly Plains, is a refferal to the old parliament established there already around in 930, during a era when Europe was a continent of monarchs. In July 2004 Þingvellir was inscripted by UNECO as a world heritage site of cultural importance.
