Think it's impossible to snorkel in geothermal hot springs? Well, you're not entirely wrong. Usually, this activity is impossible because the water is too warm! However, the geothermal hot springs of Lake Kleifarvatn are an exception! The professional team at Dive.is is also the only one to offer this unique activity in Iceland, so don't miss this opportunity to snorkel in Lake Kleifarvatn!
Lake Kleifarvatn is set in a breathtaking volcanic landscape, just 30 minutes from Reykjavík and 20 minutes from the active volcanic area of the Reykjanes peninsula. The lake's recently discovered geothermal hot springs are a 150-metre swim from the shore. Even before entering the lake, you'll probably smell the faint odour of sulphur emanating from the nearby springs, and the absolute silence around you will make you feel as if you're on another planet, far from civilisation!
Accompanied by a professional guide who knows the lake inside out, you'll be able to enter the water with confidence and feel safe throughout the experience. For 30 to 45 minutes, you'll swim in the bubbles of the hot springs, moving through a volcanic caldera with a truly exotic underwater landscape. Believe us, this snorkelling trip in the geothermal hot springs of Lake Kleifarvatn will be totally different from any other snorkelling session you've done before!
On your return to dry land, you'll be served cookies and hot chocolate before rounding off your snorkelling trip near Reykjavik with a visit to Seltún, a geothermal area where you can walk along wooden footbridges and admire the colours of the soufrières.
What are you waiting for? Join this easily accessible excursion from Reykjavik and go swimming where few have dared to go, snorkelling in Lake Kleifarvatn!
