The experience of snorkeling in Silfra is otherworldly and probably the most exciting adventure you will do in
Iceland. It does not require any certification or previous snorkeling experience, the only requirements are that
you can swim independently and are in good physical shape.
“Lazy current”
Running through the fissure is a slow beautiful glacial water current. For the first half of the snorkeling experience, you will float along in the same direction as the current. For the second half, you might have to swim
against this slight current, this is not challenging, but does require that you are able to swim.
Age limit for snorkeling
The minimum age for snorkeling in Silfra is 12 years and minors under the age of 18 need to be in the company of a guardian. Although there is no upper age limit elderly people in bad physical shape are advised
against joining the tour.
