Thank you Nico!!!!!!!!! - Hands down one of the best experiences of my life!! Nico was such an incredible tour guide and he made the whole experience so much fun and was so easy going but still extremely knowledgable. I felt very safe and in good hands the entire time. Seeing the fissure underwater was so breathtaking and I will continue to say this was my favourite experience out of all of Iceland. Nico also took great pictures as well!!

incredible Silfra - The tour started with very punctual Halifax cruise port pick-up. The driver/guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Then at Silfra, Klaudyna - the snorkeling/diving instructor provided us, the group of participants with an incredible, once in a life time experience to snorkel in crystal clear water between American and Euro-Asian tectonic plates. I would recommend Klaudyna and Adventure Vikings in a heart beat!

The guide makes the trip - This was quite the experience. The water was clear and underwater was beautiful. We went in summer and I'll just say I can't imagine doing it in a wet suit. It was so cold and windy. Luckily our guide Dory was so friendly it made it easy to focus on something more than the chill. Plus she made sure we remembered to get pics. Weather aside, because let's remember you're in Iceland, it was really great and the crew is good at what they do.

Silfra indescribable experience - Indescribable!! Super great experience and our guide Luis did it perfectly. We always felt safe and he was in a great mood. We would book it again and again through this provider. We had dry extractors and were neither wet nor frozen afterwards. We got great photos and the hot chocolate at the end was good. Perfect all round.

Beautiful Silfra - Fabulous experience with our Niko Guide, clear explanations and smooth preparation, all in a good small group atmosphere. Thank you! We were afraid of being frozen but with the waterproof suit we really only got cold hands, and we were very dry coming out of the water. Frankly do not hesitate, we quickly forget the discomfort once our eyes are fixed on the depths of Silfra!

Amazing Silfra Snorkeling Experience - We had an amazing experience snorkeling Silfra! Our guide, Gretar, explained the geology of the area and took special care to make sure that we were warm, safe and enjoyed our swim in the rift. He took wonderful pictures with his Go Pro. Looking back at the pictures brings a smile to our faces. We highly recommend this experience!
