Category:
Day trip, available directly from Reykjavik in Iceland.
The Silfra fissure is one of Iceland’s best kept secrets. Silfra, which
is situated in the heart of Þingvellir, the site of the world’s oldest
parliament, is an otherworldly scene. The crystal clear water in the
deep fissure gives you a feeling of being weightless as you float down
with the lazy current. Frequently rated as one of the worlds top ten
dive sites, the Silfra offers up to 100 meters of underwater visibility
and is located on top of the separation between Europe and America!
After an hour of snorkeling we climb out and head back to the car. Into
the Blue is a relaxing but exotic trip in an environment most will only
encounter in their dreams.
