10/10 - This experience is incredible. It is cold (obviously) but once you get moving and looking around you don't feel it. It is well worth it and the guides are all so nice, big shout-out to Nico for making the experience extra fun!

Dont miss out on this truly amazing experience - We had the most amazing experience snorkeling in Silfra together with Hernan. He was an awesome guide, so nice and considerate, and the experience was really a dream coming true. The 100m visibility is out of this world, and we completely forgot about the cold once in the water. We really recommend this tour together with Hernan to anybody coming to Iceland.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Silfra Fissure Dive with an Incredible Guide - We had an amazing experience scuba diving in the Silfra Fissure with Arctic Adventures Iceland, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Franceska—she was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, Franceska went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. She warmed up our gloves, helped us with our dry suits, and brought such genuine excitement and enthusiasm to the experience. This was our second cold-water dive, and her calm, supportive presence made all the difference. Yes, the water was really cold—there was even snow next to the fissure—but despite that, the dive was incredibly enjoyable. We were definitely cold, but it was 100% worth it. What truly stood out was Franceska’s genuine care for us. She always put our comfort and safety first, which made the entire experience feel personal and well-managed. Her positive energy and professionalism turned a challenging environment into an unforgettable adventure. If you’re considering diving Silfra, I can’t recommend Arctic Adventures—and especially Franceska—enough!

Amazing time and thank you Francesca - We had an amazing experience snorkeling in the Silfra with Francesca. She explained every step with great care and made sure everyone in the group had their gear properly set up, which made the whole underwater experience incredibly enjoyable and comfortable. Snorkeling in Silfra is truly a must-do in Iceland—the blue colors beneath the surface are absolutely mesmerizing. And to top it all off, we were welcomed back on land with hot chocolate and cookies. Highly recommended!
