1.Silfra: Snorkeling Between Tectonic Plates – Meet on Location

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,001 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $154Our pick

Snorkel through Silfra in Iceland, inside a tectonic rift. Small group, drysuit gear, and hot cocoa included.

“A one-of-a-kind experience. Don't be intimidated by the temperature - your suit and activity will keep you dry and warm! Swimming experience is a must; prior dive/snorkeling experience is helpful. Truly unbelievable views you can't get anywhere else. Tour guides are helpful, kind, and very knowledgeable. They take great photos of you along the way you can pay for later (it is worth it). Would absolutely recommend!”

“I was pretty apprehensive but my girlfriend really wanted to do this so I was game. From the moment we arrived at the check in everything so perfect. Our dive master Oliver was a great storyteller on top of being a professional diver for 36 years; we were confident we were in really good hands. The suiting up process is thorough and rigorous; thankfully, because 35* water in your dry suit would be a problem. Your time in the water is between 30 and 45 minutes and from the second you first put your face in the water it’s a magical and peaceful experience. Not once did I feel cold…”

I felt completely safe, supported and able to marvel at the incredible underwater world. Thank you!”
