Fabulous experience snorkelling in crystal clear waters - Fabulous experience snorkelling with a super helpful guide Dora. It was amazing seeing into the crystal clear waters and although it was cold, the gear we were given kept us warm enough for the duration of the experience. Highly recommend.

Doris from Adventure Vikings gave our family of 4 an excellent tour. Highly recommended and not even cold. - Our family of four did the drysuit Silfa tour in late August, led by Doris. The instructions on where to park and meet were very clear and all of the equipment worked flawlessly with no leaks or issues with the cold water. Some of us were nervous but Doris was clear and calm and helped us through a new experience. We got plenty of photos from her and from our rented GoPro.

Magical, unforgettable underwater adventure - I was pretty apprehensive but my girlfriend really wanted to do this so I was game. From the moment we arrived at the check in everything so perfect. Our dive master Oliver was a great storyteller on top of being a professional diver for 36 years; we were confident we were in really good hands. The suiting up process is thorough and rigorous; thankfully, because 35* water in your dry suit would be a problem. Your time in the water is between 30 and 45 minutes and from the second you first put your face in the water it’s a magical and peaceful experience. Not once did I feel cold at all and could have continued much longer. However, some people do feel cold by the end, especially in their hands and feet. We highly recommend you take this adventure with Adventure Vikings and hope Oliver is your leader.

Incredible experience well worth making the time for - Really enjoyed this tour with Dory! I was a bit nervous about how the fruit would work and feel, but it was way easier than I thought it would be as we had a great instructor for the tour. Also really appreciated the help getting into and out of the suits. The photos we got from the tour were so lovely; it was nice having Dory take some photos for us so we were able to just focus on swimming around and absorbing the experience without worrying about trying to take photos. Ended up with a lovely sunny day and absolutely loved this tour! 5 stars, would recommend.

Amazing views, great guide, wonderful weather! - Diving in Silfra had been on our to do list for a while, and as per advice given by a couple of people working on these tours, booked an evening time which meant private tour! And no waiting! Had wonderful Hugo for our guide who was very friendly, personable, and took good care of us and plenty of photos too. We initially booked wet suit tour as per information given on website re ability to dive instead of float only, but as per expert advice, we stayed (mostly) dry and floated above the surface in comfortable warmth, taking in amazing views in this clear water. This really is a wonderful experience and definitely worth a stop, if you are not afraid of a bit of cold water.

Snorkeling the Silfra Fissure - We did the snorkel tour with Dori and it was so fun! She made sure we knew what to expect, helped us all into our gear, and was an excellent tour guide. We highly recommend this adventure and felt like we were in safe hands the whole time.

Outstanding way of seeing the major fissure at the plate boundary - We had our tour with Klaudyna and it was fantastic. Once she checked all our medical safety details she put us at ease and looked after us to get prepared. We had a really warm van to change and get the first layers set up. She knew exactly the right size if suits we needed and got us ready. She was confident and made sure we were comfortable with the equipment. Once we got in the water we were put at ease and were able to really enjoy the spectacular colours on the water and the views in the fissure. It was absolutely beautiful. I get cold easily and I found the suits worked brilliantly despite the water being about 2 degrees. At the end of the dive we were given some free time in the lagoon to have a look around. I went over the little silfra fissure which was equally as amazing. At the end we were assisted in getting changed and had the most amazing hot chocolate to warm up. Thank you Klaudyna for a great experience.
