Diving in Silfra Tour – meet on location in Thingvellir National Park
Embark on our Diving Silfra Day Tour to experience an unparalleled underwater expedition in the world’s most extraordinary aquatic setting, boasting unmatched visibility.
It’s a wonderful experience while visiting Thingvellir National Park, to fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and unique geological features — and to take it a step further, diving in Silfra offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the crystal-clear waters between two tectonic plates.
Silfra represents a geological crevice shaped by the movement of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This exceptionally clear glacial water, offering visibility exceeding 100 meters, has been meticulously filtered by subterranean lava rocks over decades. The underwater scenery awaiting you during your Diving Tour is genuinely one-of-a-kind and cannot be found anywhere else on Earth.
