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. After an hour of snorkeling we climb out and on
to the riverbank to enjoy a warm cup of hot chocolate and some light
refreshments.
Into the Blue is a relaxing but exotic trip in an environment most will only encounter in their dreams.
Guaranteed departures: Mondays and Wednesdays at 9:00 AM from the 1st of June – 31st of August.
