Freedive Silfra: Explore Iceland's Crystal-Clear Waters
240
Overview
The Freedive Silfra Half Day Tour lets people swim between two continents in Thingvellir National Park. It's a cool adventure where divers wear wetsuits to stay warm in the clear water.
This tour takes place in the Silfra Fissure, which is famous for its super clear water. On a good day, divers can see over 100 meters! Thingvellir National Park is a special place because it's where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet and drift apart a few centimeters every year. This creates unique cracks and fissures that fill with glacier water, making Silfra one of the best places in the world for freediving.
During the tour, a professional guide helps everyone stay safe and have fun. The tour includes all the fees for the National Park, the gear to use for snorkeling, and some drinks. People will need to bring their own towels and swimwear. The tour lasts about 3-4 hours, and there's a van where people can change their clothes. This experience lets you explore a very unique and beautiful underwater world.
