Lifetime experience you should never miss - Highly recommended! Never imagined that I’d have snorkeled between two continental plates. And the visibility is crazy that it feels like flying. I came here alone but felt so loved. Denise is professional, enthusiastic, energetic, nice, and lovely. She made this experience unforgettably amazing!

Great training - efficient - Hugo was my instructor. He teach me all I needed to get dry suit PADI certified, and provide great training - very clear and pedagogical. This training and certification gave me experience and confidence to do the Silfra diving the day after

Absolutely AMAZING Experience - This has been an experience on our bucket list since we saw it featured on Jeff Corwin's show Ocean Treks and we watched it as a challenge on the reality TV competition show Amazing Race. Wow!!!! What an experience! GC was our guide and he was amazing throughout the entire experience. I am so thankful that he photographed us through out the experience and we were able to purchase the photos from him afterwards. We will never forget this amazing experience. Thanks GC for making sure it was so awesome for us. We were in Reykjavik as a port stop on a cruise and we paid for a pickup which was run by Reykjavik Excursions. I have to confess that we were a little nervous because we were concerned that the timeline was a little too tight and we may not make it back to the ship in time on time. We expressed this concern with our driver Ragga and she immediately put our minds at ease. Ragga was absolutely amazing not only because she got us back to the ship with plenty of time to spare but because you could absolutely tell that she was very committed and passionate about her job. Thank you guys for everything!

Silfra snorkelling - The whole experience was amazing, the water is so clear and the views are incredible. The sunlight coming through the water made it even more special. I was a little nervous but our guide Denise was great and made me very comfortable. The whole team and facilities are brilliant!
