Description
Marvel at the intricate formations within the lava tube and learn about the fascinating geological processes that created this underground wonder. Next, dive into your second adventure: snorkeling in Silfra, an ethereal fissure nestled in Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Famous for its crystal-clear water and stunning blue hues, Silfra offers an unparalleled opportunity to float between the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia. Accompanied by a PADI certified snorkeling guide, you’ll glide effortlessly along the gentle current, experiencing a sense of weightlessness in some of the clearest water on Earth. All necessary gear is provided, ensuring a safe and unforgettable journey through Iceland’s unique landscapes above and below ground. Our guide takes underwater photos (free!) and we enjoy hot cocoa after snorkeling to warm up from the glacial waters. *Participants need to be comfortable in the water and be able to swim.
