The Grapevine's take

Snorkelling at Silfra

Going snorkelling in the rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates took our panel’s collective breath away. “It’s overwhelming in the most magical way,” they said. “There are so many sights and sensations all around you—it’s truly something you won’t be able to experience anywhere else.” The tour is tailored to individual preferences, and can be made more athletic or relaxed, with divers hovering in the sub-zero water in their thick floatation suits.
