Amazing time and thank you Francesca - We had an amazing experience snorkeling in the Silfra with Francesca. She explained every step with great care and made sure everyone in the group had their gear properly set up, which made the whole underwater experience incredibly enjoyable and comfortable. Snorkeling in Silfra is truly a must-do in Iceland—the blue colors beneath the surface are absolutely mesmerizing. And to top it all off, we were welcomed back on land with hot chocolate and cookies. Highly recommended!

Bucket List Experience - The main reason I came to Iceland was to dive the Silfa Fissure, a bucket list dive for me. I had very high expectations and it did not disappoint! This dive was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Worth every penny. It's just as clear as people say. Pure, clear, cold, BEAUTIFUL water. The drysuit was surprisingly warm and it was nice to have all rental gear included. You just need to pack a nice base layer and a pair (or 2) of wool socks. Note: Photos are NOT included in this tour (despite the description) so be sure to bring a GoPro. Also note, you gear up in the parking lot and walk with your full set of gear to the entry/exit location. If you have back or knee injuries this part could be challenging, but I'm sure they'd accommodate you. Yiannis (John) was an excellent guide. He was patient and professional. If you're a scuba diver visiting Iceland, don't miss the opportunity to do this dive.

Snorkeling over the Tectonic Plates - Jampy was an amazing guide and super gentle and considerate with the assistance with all the equipment and explanations! Super friendly and great experience! Highly recommend doing this when you are here! Not a single leak into the dry suit either; stayed warm and cozy during the snorkeling! (9/21/2025 @14:30 group)

Exceptional - An amazing experience. I was a little worried at first when the water temperature but I ran into Jenny who is really exceptional she was very kind she took the time to explain everything and everything went great. I have absolutely no regrets about going there and I will do so again without hesitation. The seabed is incredible in the fault and we are not cold at all thanks to the suits lent. At most cold to the hands and lips. Widely bearable. I recommend it 100%

Unique experience, get there early - I got there early and they were nice enough to put me in the early group. My instructor, Fede, was helpful and friendly throughout. It’s truly a unique experience and I would recommend it to anyone that loves natural beauty. When you go early, there’s less crowd and the tour is much faster than the advertised 3 hours.
