Silfra is the name of a big 'crack' stretching parallel to the North American and a micro-plate called Hreppar that broken off from the Eurasian plate. Silfra has world-renowned clear and drinkable water with over 100 metre visibility daily. This is unlike any tour you can do in Iceland and is something you can't do anywhere else in the world. We are the only company to offer wetsuit and drysuit. This means members of your group can book different options and still be together in the water. We include photos and usually take around 40-100 photos as standard depending on the size of the tour and you will be able to download them after at least a few days. We always have small groups, 6 people per guide. This allows for a better and more personal feel. If you have a group of 7 or more you can be together preparing your equipment but in the water some of you will be separate. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - 4 start times: between 09:00 and 12:30 - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Age rule: Minimum age is 12 years, please reach out… **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €171 per person for the Silfra Tour - Morning Transfer option; other options up to €195 - Duration: 5h - Rating: 4.88/5 from 739 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Adventure Vikings - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 09:00, 09:30, 12:00, 12:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-22 ## Reviews 4.88 from 739 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 97% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 719 of 739. - 5 stars: 695 (94%) - 4 stars: 24 (3%) - 3 stars: 7 (1%) - 2 stars: 4 (1%) - 1 star: 9 (1%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Silfra Tour - Morning Transfer | €171 / person | English | Reykjavik Pick up and return Pickup included | | Silfra Tour - Noon Transfer | €195 / person | English | Reykjavik Pick up & return Pickup included | ## What's included - Underwater photos - Pick up and drop off in Reykjavik - Use of Snorkelling equipment - PADI Divemaster/ Instructor or equivalent - Hot chocolate ## Not included - Food - Clothing suitable for the weather, for example waterproofs ## Itinerary 1. **The location of Silfra, where the snorkeling takes place, is within Thingvell...** (pass by, no stop) - The location of Silfra, where the snorkeling takes place, is within Thingvellir National park.
