Amazing!! - There really aren’t enough amazing things to say about this experience. It is SO cool!! Just a heads up, go for the dry suit. I booked a wet suit which was the wrong thing and they easily let us switch to a dry suit. We were not cold in the water even with water getting in our gloves. I would totally do this again. Definitely a great experience!

1000% recommended - Our Guide Fernando speaks very good French and is very attentive. The briefing could be done in French just like all the explanations during the outing. Despite the cold air (12°) and water (2°), the suits and hot chocolate on arrival keep you warm. We highly recommend this experience.

Water flying in Silfra - It was an unbelievable experience. It was like flying over a beautiful canyon. Our guide (Gretar) was amazing, very kind, patient and helpful! I’m so glad I got the chance to do this. Don’t miss your chance!! He gave great information on the car ride to and from the park too!

Incredible view - You are not paying to be comfortable. You are paying for the experience and the views in the water. My husband and I chose the dry suits and we were warm but couldn’t move a lot. If I did this again, I would choose the wetsuit to be more comfortable and have more mobility. We had to wait at least half an hour in our gear while waiting to get into the water which was not fun because we had a thing around our necks to prevent water from getting in and it slightly chocks you. The price I think is worth it for the pick up from the city. Our guide Grétar was awesome. He took amazing photos and told us loads of information about what we were seeing and about iceland. Super fun! Highly recommend. Once in a lifetime experience

Unique and fun experience - This was one of the highlights of my trip in Iceland! The water is amazingly clear and you’re able to see a lot of the rock structures under which is incredible! I would not miss this experience since it is so unique to snorkel in between plates and see amazingly clear water. If you’re worried about swimming or being cold, it’s not really cold at all w the dry suit:) Dori was our guide and she’s the best:) clear instructions and very professional! We had a lot of fun with her and she took some pretty good photos!

An amazing experience! - I had the best time on this snorkeling experience! I was admittedly wary of how cold the water would be, but the dry suit definitely works and felt fine throughout. The experience itself was incredible - the waters are pristine, the rock formations are interesting and everything just makes you appreciate the beauty that is Iceland. Our guides of course Gretar and Oliver were incredible as well. They were friendly and I could tell they love Iceland and teaching others about their home. They also gave us clear instructions, helped us with the equipment and I felt like I was in good hands. A must do!
