Freedive Iceland is a small family-run business in Iceland that operates 5-star rating tours. These tours are private in freediving, scuba diving, and snorkeling. We are proud to say that we’re a 5-star rating tour operator since we emphasize giving the best possible personal experience. Our tours are mostly held in Silfra, Iceland’s clearest lake in Þingvellir national park. Freedive Silfra in wetsuits between continents in the best visibility with the best freediver gear available! Silfra is one of the TOP freedive places in the world. Visibility is 100+ on most days.

Silfra is a fissure between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in Thingvellir National Park. The rift was formed in 1789 by the earthquakes accompanying the divergent movement of the two tectonic plates. The diving and snorkeling site at Silfra is right where the two continents meet and drift apart about 2 cm per year. Silfra is the only place in the world where you can dive or snorkel directly in a crack between two tectonic plates.

We seek to create long-time cooperation between travel agents and agencies abroad with travelers coming to Iceland. We offer 15% in commission pay for each traveler that dives with us, and we are connected to the Bokun tourism marketplace owned by Trip Advisor and Viator.

If you would like to get more information on our services and want to connect for possible cooperation, don’t hesitate to send us a message, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
