Amazing trip through the plates - Had an amazing time visiting Silfra and experiencing it for what it truly is. A huge thanks to Pedro for the great tour! He was calm and friendly throughout and really allowed it to be our trip and experience.

A fun adventure that both the teenagers and parents loved! - Marcelo was a fabulous tour guide. He explained everything clearly and made all of us feel comfortable and calm in the water. Putting on all the safety gear was a process but they had many people helping so it was fast and efficient. This was definitely a once in a lifetime experience that I’m so glad we did. The pictures they took and shared quickly will be cherished for years to come.

Do it! - We had Marcello as our guide… he was absolutely amazing and super funny. It was a really cool experience and lasted just the right amount of time. Do it (and you’ll get some SUPER flattering pictures of yourself while you’re there)!

absolutely fantastic - We had an absolutely fantastic snorkeling experience! Everything was very well organized, and the equipment was in great condition. The staff was incredibly friendly, and a special mention goes to Carol, who guided us during the swim — she was amazing, extremely helpful, and kind. During the swim you do feel a bit cold, but afterwards the hot chocolate and biscuits warm you right up. Overall, a top-notch experience that I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience and a great instructor - We had a fantastic experience. Anna, our instructor couldn’t have been more helpful and looked after us better. She was hugely patient and helped us each step of the way. She really cared that the whole group had a good experience. The trip was well organised and a great length. It’s a very gentle 40-50 minutes and fantastic to float between continents. The water is beautifully clear.

Frozen lips but worth it and would easily do it again! - Wow- from the moment my husband and I showed up to location we were greeted immediately and checked in. Gear was organized and ready to put on- it is a tight hug for some of the equipment because you want to try to stay dry and warm. It was worth it. After you go over safety and are all geared up you take a 5-10 minute walk down to the platform. Once you get in the water you truly do float like a little manatee in the water-no deep diving in these suits haha. But wow the water was so clear, visibility was insane! We even took a sip of the water since it’s been filtered for years through volcanic rock, wow. Our tour guide was remarkable. Took photos, made sure we were comfortable. This experience was a highlight of our trip. My lips were frozen but after they go numb it isn’t so bad LOL hot chocolate and cookies were waiting for us afterwards so it was a temporary situation for a very worthwhile excursion! Don’t over think it go do it!!!

Awful customer service - Don’t be even one minute late. They are not flexible or accommodating at all. Tried to solve the situation and they just won’t use common
