- Thingvellir National Park - Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in southwest Iceland, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and historical importance. Situated between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, the park features impressive lava fields, Þingvallavatn lake, and the historic Alþingi, Iceland’s first parliament, founded in 930 AD.
A standout feature of the park is Silfra, a glacial fissure with exceptionally clear waters providing unmatched visibility, where visitors can snorkel or dive between two continents. Þingvellir’s exceptional combination of natural beauty, history, and adventure makes it an essential destination in Iceland.
- Silfra - On this scuba diving adventure, participants will explore all four sections of Silfra. The experience begins with the Silfra Deep Crack, a narrow and winding passage near the entrance. As the dive progresses, the crack slightly widens into the Silfra Hall, leading to the Silfra Cathedral—the deepest point of the dive at 22 meters (72 feet) below the surface. Following the Cathedral, the journey continues into the magnificent Silfra Lagoon, the final section of the dive. At the exit platform, the guide will assist in removing fins, followed by a brief 300-meter (984-foot) walk back to the car park. If necessary, weights or gear can be removed to ease the walk, and there is an option to rest at the visitor entrance along the way.
