All the staff helping the bigger group get suited up were up beat and friendly. The tour was super organized and well executed. I would highly recommend this tour.”

“We had Hugo as a guide, who was really friendly and calm. The whole team virtually dress you for the dive which was a strange experience but took some stress off for us new dry-suit divers. The van to change it was heated- very luxurious. Hugo gave us a solid breifing. The dive was absolutely incredible and we even saw a trout. We were the only scuba divers that day which was also a treat. Hugo led us at a steady pace and took a lot of photos. Hot chocolate afterwards was a nice warm up. Thanks guys.”

“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…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,187 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $225

Snorkel in Silfra, Iceland, between the North American and Eurasian plates with a PADI guide, dry suit gear, and Reykjavik pickup.

“A very cool one of a kind experience! Be advised that this will definitely take several hours between getting into the snorkeling equipment, queuing to get in the water, and actually going on the dive. But it’s definitely worth it. The guides are helpful and knowledgeable about the land. The snorkeling itself is truly a unique experience. The water is cold, but you get used to it quickly. It’s crystal clear and you can see incredible rock formations and plant life under the surface. And even if you do get a little water in your snorkel, it’ll be the clearest purest water you’ve ever tasted. I recommend dressing in layers…”

Snorkel Silfra Fissure in Thingvellir National Park, float between two tectonic plates in ultra clear glacial water, and warm up after.

“This was an amazing experience shared with my daughter. We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day which made the time getting togged up outside more comfortable. Our guide, Elsa, was very professional but fun! Our thermal baselayers and the drysuit kept us warm and dry and it was only our faces that felt cold during the snorkeling. The water is crystal clear and there is plenty of time to see the rock formations. Elsa took lots of photos which we purchased. The heated van, hot drinks and biscuits were very welcome at the end of the experience. Thank you!”

“This was a great small bus tour. The guide (Bjorn) was local and he entertained us with stories, and educated us about Iceland. He was great! We started off going to the waterfall. We had some time to get out of the bus and wonder around in the gift shop and 2 viewing areas. It was incredible! Next we stopped on the side of the road to see some Icelandic horses that were up against the fence and we got to pet them. Then we saw the geyser and stopped across the street for lunch. It was a perfect grab and go lunch that we could take along in the…”

Snorkel Silfra from Reykjavik in a dry suit, float between tectonic plates in clear water, and get included underwater photos.

“The 20 minute snorkeling element of the trip was amazing. Swimming in crystal clear water between the tectonic plates is a unique event and the photos taken by our guide were great, but there is an awful lot of waiting about (barely dressed) in the cold whilst everybody gets kitted out. Initially, we were asked to remove most of our outer garments in the minibus to speed up the preparation process, and although we were split into groups of 6 with a very good safety diver/guide, there were almost 30 people participating in total and as there are no covered changing facilities (completely understandable due to National Park rules) we…”
