Silfra snorkelling trip - Nov 2024 - Had an amazing time snorkelling. Wilmar was an unreal guide, funny and very knowledgeable of his profession and made sure everyone in the group was safe and entertained. The views in the fissure were once in a lifetime, so clear and I would highly recommend. It’s not too cold at all with the dry suits and some base layers underneath.

Snorkeling between the tectonic plates - Had an amazing time. Wilmer was our instructor and he was supportive and kept our experience funny and enjoyable. Would 100% do it again… but probably in the summer. 😂

Marvel - This is a must for any trip to this marvel of a country. Ed my guide was knowledgeable, friendly and had safety in mind all the time. Also, the dry suit Means YOU DONT GET COLD. Your hands and face a little bit but the rest is warm and dry. It’s also very easy to just float down the stream . The views are out of this world . My tip would be as Ed said, take the earlier tour, it means getting up of course but whilst not busy and loud there were s few groups on the midday slot I did .

Best day ever - Had the absolute best time. Doris was our tour guide and was so lovely and helpful and kind. I was super nervous about not fitting into the dry suit and she really helped put my mind at ease and helped me get dressed.

Awesome snorkeling experience - Such an awesome and amazing experience. Views while swimming in the Silfra fissure were beautiful. We were picked up at our hotel by Gretar who was also our guide for the excursion. He is very knowledgeable about the fissure and the Thingvellir National Park. I would highly recommend checking out this Icelandic treasure.

10/10 Recommend - Such a great experience with Niko! He was super welcoming and helpful. I had originally decided to wear a wetsuit but after hearing that people haven’t worn a wetsuit for the last 3 weeks, I changed my mind. Thankfully, they had extra dry suits.
