Very fun first time! - Very cool place to snorkel for the first time! The instructor, Wilmar, put me at ease and ensured we all felt safe. I had an amazing time looking at all the rock formations! **Should be noted: coming from Canada - it was not that cold, don’t worry too much. Would definitely go again :)

Truly unique experience - This was such a unique experience swimming between two continents!! Our instructor Dory was so thorough and made sure the dry suits were water tight and fitted perfectly, I didn’t get wet at all so was not that cold! The dive itself isn’t very long but you wouldn’t want to be in the water for ages. The views though were incredible and well worth the stinging hands and face. Dory took loads of pictures so we have plenty of memories to look back on. Would definitely recommend this experience to the adventurers out there.

Ice adventure - The dive was incredible. Dory our instructor was very thorough with all the dry suit fitting and explained every step. She took loads of photos of us and gave us time to explore the lagoon. The experience itself is only like 30 mins but with how cold your head and hands get it’s enough. I can’t believe how clear the water was! Sky Lagoon at the end of the day was just the cherry on top of the cake to warm up. Would recommend!

Worth it!!!!! - This was a great experience! Loved snorkeling in the morning and the Sky Lagoon experience in the afternoon. As it is still winter ofcourse it was cold, but those views snorkeling was amazing. The sky lagoon made for a perfect day!

Overcame My Fear and Loved Silfra - Ask for Wilmar! - Snorkeling in Silfra was an absolutely incredible experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Wilmar! He was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and really took great care of everyone in our group. I was particularly nervous about the deep water, but Wilmar was incredibly patient and supportive, helping me overcome my fear and truly enjoy the experience. From the initial briefing to helping us get geared up and even capturing some awesome underwater photos, Wilmar made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour, and if you're lucky enough to have Wilmar as your guide, you're in for a treat!

Unforgettable Silfra Experience with an Outstanding Guide - There are no words to truly capture the experience of snorkeling in Silfra. The water is cold, but the suits make it comfortable, allowing you to fully enjoy the breathtaking underwater sights. We had an incredible time with the Adventure Vikings team, especially our guide, Wilmar. A special thanks to Wilmar for not only sharing his deep knowledge of the fissure, snorkeling, driving, and the park but also for making it engaging and relatable. His ability to handle the emotions and challenges of the experience was truly commendable. My spouse grew increasingly anxious as we approached the water, but Wilmar’s care and reassurance helped him feel at ease, turning what could have been a stressful situation into an enjoyable and fulfilling adventure. It was clear he was a true professional, and we felt completely safe in his hands. If you’re planning this experience, I highly recommend adding the Sky Lagoon package—it’s an unbeatable value and an absolutely AMAZING way to warm up and unwind after Silfra and a day of sightseeing.

Edgar is a superstar! - We arrived at 9:15, parked up and walked over. We met Edgar, who was really lovely and welcoming. We had a short wait (about 30 minutes) but we were getting suited up and having a chat with Edgar who also let us get plenty of photo opportunities. The entire trip we felt, looked after and safe, while having a laugh and joke with Edgar. Really recommend and the highlight was being able to have underwater pictures! Definitely would suggest the morning slot as it seemed to get busier as we left :)

Pretty good, but not life changing. - Overall great experience. The views were however a tad underwhelming. Maybe my expectations were too high. It was rocks under water. No real colour to it. No life. BUT our guide Wilmar made it super fun! Funny guy. Easy to talk to. We definitely felt safe and in good hands. You can tell he's an expert. Whever he goes, you should follow and you'll be sure to have a good time!
