Snorkeling in the Silfra - Just WOW !! Arnil,our guide, was super friendly and very reassuring seeing as we were about to go snorkeling in gla ial melt water with an outdoor temperature of minus 5degrees C. What a fabulous view though. The clarity of the water and rock structures were breathtaking. I really recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience. The water wasn't as a cold as the air temperature, but despite the stunning views, 40minutes snorkeling was time enough in the cold, before being recharged with hot chocolate.

Snorkel of a lifetime! - Everything was amazing. Our guide was so awesome and helpful and made us feel at ease, not to mention patiently herding us around like kindergartners getting all 5 of us into our gear. I was the only one wearing a westsuit to everyone else’s dry suit and I was kept pretty warm, except my feet. Going in January we were super lucky to not see too many people (well actually we had the whole place to ourselves, and we even had some sun!) I’m sorry I didn’t get our guides name but she was from Poland and so cool! Thanks! This mermaid really enjoyed herself!

Silfra snorkelling session with Dory - My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the snorkelling session with Dory, it was a unique experience that we’re glad took part in. Dory explained everything very well, provided gear to size, made sure everyone understood the safety measures, took underwater pictures and made sure everything was in order. 5 stars well deserved, would recommend this experience to everyone.

Fault sifra snorkeling - Great experience. The water is clear which allows us to see the fault. With waterproof suits you have a good time, only the lips and hands are frozen. Dory was great throughout the whole experience.
