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.

Between two continents - n unforgettable experience! The dive in the Silfra crevasse was absolutely breathtaking – the crystal clear water, the unique colours and the feeling of literally floating between two continents are hard to put into words. You feel like you're in another world. A big thank you to Francesca who organized everything so professionally, warmly and with a lot of patience. From the briefing to the dive itself, I felt in good hands. It was not only safe, but also conveyed with joy and enthusiasm. I am very grateful to have had this experience – it is an adventure not to be missed in life. Anyone visiting Iceland should definitely treat themselves to Silfra – a real highlight and a lasting memory!

Amazing experience - The experience was incredible, an absolute must-do during a trip to Iceland! The scenery is breathtaking, and the activity itself is truly one of a kind. The dry suits keep you warm and dry (except for your hands and head), which makes snorkeling quite accessible. Our guide Carol clearly explained the movements, safety positions, and helped us feel comfortable before entering the (freezing) water. Thanks to her, I was able to fully enjoy the experience, she gave me confidence after a slightly tricky start due to the water temperature. I highly recommend it!
