Fantastic Excursion and Great Guide - I had a once in a lifetime experience snorkelling between tectonic plates. Everything was professional from start to finish and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Wilmar who was great throughout.

Snorkelling between the plates with hot chocolate - We had so much fun snorkelling, it was a once in a lifetime adventure swimming between the plates. Dori was our guide and she was so efficient and we felt like we were in safe hands the whole time. The hot chocolate at the end was also great!

Amazing experience with Adventure Vikings - Dory is an amazing instructor and tour guide. Snorkeling at Silfra with her was quite an experience. We were a group of 6 and Dory was constantly moving between us instructing us on the direction of the swim and informing us of the different locations we crossed during the snorkelling experience.

Yes, BUT! - First and foremost, the experience of snorkelling here is unmissable, but and there is a big BUT….we absolutely knew it was going to be cold (I can’t stress enough how cold we knew it would be, we have been travelling through the Artic for 3 weeks so we know cold). However the amount of time it takes to get a group of 6 ready is enormous (fully appreciate the patience and hard work of the guides here) - almost 2 hours standing around, suiting up etc. And that standing around means you are cold cold cold. To the point a couple of our tough young men were going to pull out, real pain. We know the poor guides are doing this day after day group after group, but it is their job! As you can imagine when you get into the water and see what’s below you momentarily forget, but not enough, and no matter how hard you try, being left that cold initially puts a little downer on the whole experience. What can they do? Probably not much, a well heated back of a van to sit and chat while you got ready, a heated marquee, heated baseplates to stand on, anything! I know there would be rules and regulations being a National Park and I don’t know how to solve it but it just doesn’t work the way it currently is on -14 days. We would have paid double to be comfortable for the 2 hours before and cold for the 20 minutes it took to swim Silfra - THEN I would have said ‘no matter what the weather, do this!’ At the moment, we can only recommend this on warmer days. MAYBE there are other tour groups that dress you elsewhere and drive you to snorkel, I don’t know, but it’s worth looking into.

Great experience, poor company - I would recommend the experience, not with this company.. completely unorganised, two people had to withdraw due to the group being left out in-16 conditions for over an hour slowly getting equipment dispersed. Other companies nearby seemed to be much more organised with the correct sized equipment for their clients.
