Adventure combination day trip in Iceland, available directly from Reykjavík city. Snorkeling in Silfra ravine
& River Rafting on Hvítá river.
Trip difficulty 2 out of 5 possible.
We
start the day with a snorkeling exploration of the Silfra fissure.
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. It is also worth mentioning that
the Silfra lies on the rift between the tectonic plates of America and
Europe and the rugged underwater view of the lava field is something
you will have to see to believe!
From the national park we drive to Drumbó Basecamp where
we eat lunch before we gear up for rafting on the white water river of
Hvítá.
The
river has a perfectly balanced mix of serene canyons and adrenaline
pumping waves and rapids. We raft for 7 kilometers and at one point
participants get to jump from a cliff into the river. For those looking
for extra action the option of white water canoeing is available.
