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.

swim in specially made dry suits through the crystal clear water. We
breath through snorkles to have an unobstucted view of the landscape
beneath the water level and everyone swims with fins to make things
easier.
