Information about Silfra
Earth is divided with underground tectonic plates. Iceland is situated right in the middle of the two of them – North American and Eurasian Tectonic Plates. Silfra Fissure is one of the places in Iceland where you can see where the tectonic plates have slowly been separating – yet not on land, but under water.
In this magical place, the water is considered to be one of the cleanest waters in the world, with a visibility of more than 100 meters. This incredibly clean water comes from the melted ice of Langjökull glacier.
Join us on an adventure in Silfra – the only place in the world where you can snorkel in the middle of two tectonic plates.
During the activity, you will be swimming between two tectonic plates. Your guide will eventually send you all the GoPro photos after the tour.
Magical Glaciers, mesmerizing fjords & ancient folklore.
FlyOver Iceland is a state-of-the-art technology that gives you the feeling of flying. The seats hang suspended, with your feet dangling mid-air. In front of you is a 20-meter spherical screen that gives you an all-around viewing experience. The film was filmed on a helicopter with its nose down while filming, so the final results give you, the viewer, the ultimate feeling of actually being there, flying over fields, lakes, glaciers, fjords, and mountaintops. Scent, mist, and wind blow your way as you sit there, hitting all your senses.
