Into the Blue  (Winter Edition)

*Available September 1st - May 31st / Summer Edition

Short Description
Snorkeling is maybe not the first adventure which comes to mind when visiting Iceland, an island in the Atlantic Ocean. However, you'll be surprised, Iceland has a gem hidden in the heart of Thingvellir National Park. The Silfra fissure is frequently rated as one of the world's top ten dive sites as the freshwater gives you up to 100 meters of underwater visibility. In addition the fissure is located on top of the separation between North America and Europe!

Into the Blue is a relaxing but exotic trip in an environment most will only encounter in their dreams. The crystal clear water in the deep fissure gives you a feeling of being weightless as you float down with the lazy current. 

Price 12.990 ISK, including pick up from Reykjavik Backpackers
