Snorkling Silfra Lagoon

The Silfra lava 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 along with the lazy current. Frequently rated as one of the worlds top ten dive sites. Silfra offers up to 100 meters of underwater visibility and is located on top of the separation between Europe and America! After an hour of snorkeling you climb out and head back to the van. Into the Blue is a relaxing but exotic trip in an environment most will only encounter in their dreams.

Bad eyesight?
Since you are wearing snorkeling / dive goggles to see underwater there can be nothing in the way of the seal to keep them from filling up with water. That is, you can not wear glasses underneath the goggles. You will have to go without them, wear eye lenses or bring your own goggles with prescription.
What is snorkeling?
Participants swim in specially made dry suits through the crystal clear water, wearing thick down suits to keep them warm.  You breathe through snorkels to have an unobstructed view of the landscape beneath the water level and everyone swims with fins to make things easier.
