Alien and unique experience - Snorkelling in Silfra Lake was a unique and foreign experience. I have snorkelled in some incredible places in the world but this was in a league of its own. From the strange astronaut like gear to icy waters and alien like flora this is truely one of a kind. Henry and Boris were very patient, friendly and utmost professionals. They made us feel safe and at ease and only wanted us to get the best experience we could.

Unreal! Do it! - Unreal experience, the water is so clear and you can see the fissure so clearly. Well guided and helped by guide GABE, thank you for a great experience! We even came out dry in the dry suits!

A must do excursion! - A must do!! Even though it was cold it was so worth it, especially during sunset! Henry was an awesome guide, and made the excursion extra fun, as well as Filip helping out when needed because it was extra “refreshing” that day! The views started out amazing right from leaving Reykjavik.

Epic adventure - Arnar was amazing and looked after us, was patient and knowledgable. We dived and saw two big fish, as well as the latest silfra crack. The equipment is top notch, it's well organised, make sure to wear thermals and couple of pairs of wool socks under you drysuit. There vans are warm, and the hot choc was perfect. Thank you.

Great tour, recommended! - Pickup was well organised, arrived on time. We had all necessary equipment readily prepared by the team on arrival. After changing, we were well looked after while putting on the gear, which was a huge help, making sure all equipment is in the right place, the drysuit seals positioned well so that they don't leak, etc. Hugo, the dive master gave us an excellent tour under water and took some great pictures as well. Hot chocolate afer is a life saver! :)

Excellent activity, must do!!! - We had so much fun, the view was stunning. Our guide Filip was knowledgeable, and helped us throughout and took good pictures of us. The water was at -10c and it was snowing, can’t believe we snorkeled at that weather.

Lived to tell the tale - We did a morning session and had Boris as our guide who did such a fabulous job. I appreciated Boris’s knowledge, patience and sense of humour which is something Australians love. Once you’re floating in the water it’s an unbelievable experience and scenery.
