Diving

When it comes to Iceland another must-have activity is diving.

Needless to say, you will be needing certain skills – mainly swimming – and some courage as well in order to discover the underwater wonderlands. One of the best sites for diving is at the Thingvellir National Park, situated only 45 minutes away from Reykjavik. Silfra is one of the highest-rated dive sites in the whole world, offering up to 100 meters of underwater visibility. What makes this natural phenomenon even more unique is the fact that the Silfra fissure is located between two continental tectonic plates and it does not happen every day that you can swim from Europe to America!

When it comes to the diving activity, licensed guides will carefully inspect your gear, explain the whole process, and after a training dive, you will have more time to enjoy the crystal clear, blue water.

Afterward, you can always visit the rest of the Thingvellir National Park, which was the ancient site of the first Icelandic parliament, founded in 930.

Furthermore, it is always an excellent idea to combine the diving excursion with the beloved Golden Circle tour, all of these sights can be visited during a day tour.
