About this experience
You'll arrive at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Once there, you'll take a short journey through the volcanic, moss-laden fields of the park. Here, you will listen as your friendly and experienced PADI Divemaster guide. Later, you'll receive all of the necessary equipment for snorkeling in Silfra, including neoprene hoods and gloves, a thermal drysuit, snorkel and fins. The equipment will keep you buoyant throughout your time in the fissure, as well as offering a protection against the water. Once in the water, your eyes will meet the incredible shades of blue so prevalent in the fissure, as well as the natural under-water flora canyon walls. As you are swimming you will have the opportunity to swim across continents, as you will be switching back and forth from the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. After the tour GoPRO pictures will be sent to you by email for free.

Our guide Steven was...
Our guide Steven was amazing. He was thorough and attentive the entire time. You can tell he's extremely knowledgeable and experienced with diving. My bf and I loved our experienced. One thing to keep in mind is that you're not actually diving between the tectonic plates as they're 5km part. The rock walls you see in the water are not the tectonic plates as I thought when I booked this trip. Cool experience regardless.

I was a little scared before getting into the water and taught about quitting in the beginning but our guide Ms Belu was really good and helped me throughout the snorkeling. It was such a wonderful experience and all thanks to our guide Ms Belu

Honeymoon Fun
This was SUCH A COOL experience!! Our tour guide was Abbie, she was so funny and made everyone feel very confident going into it. Yes, it was extremely cold, but the suit keeps your body plenty warm. The views were stunning and we event visited on a rainy day! Still, the rocks and algae were vibrant and colorful. It was truly stunning and we would do it again and again. The guide even takes photos for you on a go-pro! I would say this is a MUST DO in Iceland.

Worth getting out of your comfort zone and doing this
Wonderful experience. (About 30-45 minutes in the water altogether, other time is spent on gearing up and queuing.) The water was crystal clear and views were breathtaking even in rainy weather. Our guide Joa was very knowledgeable and much fun. Big thanks to him for the tour! He is a true professional, he was able to reassure another family who were getting anxious to relax and continue. The gear wasn’t as bad (strangling) as we thought. Highly recommend this activity.

Why this scores 92
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 3,662 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive?
+
Around 1,282 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
