Silfra Snorkelling, Amazing - Edgar from Viking Adventure was amazing. An experience of a lifetime, dont miss it. But if you don’t like being a bit chilly, both while getting into equipment and while in the water, it’s probably not for you. We loved it and we had two 13 yr old boys who loved it as well.

Amazing experience! - We swam between two tectonic plates today - I was incredibly nervous about feeling claustrophobic but Wilmer the wonderful guide was amazing, he encouraged me all the way, taking time, before and during, with me to help me do it - he was incredibly kind! It was an amazing experience and I’m glad I did it! Highly recommend ⭐️

Silfra Snorkeling an Amazing Adventure - Our tour with Ed at Viking Adventures was amazing. Ed was funny, helpful and professional. He made our winter snorkeling at Silfra an incredible bucket list adventure. We would highly recommend this tour, but you need to be ok with being slightly chilly.

Freezing cold but gorgeous! - The water was amazingly clear and blue! Such a cool experience to see lava flows under water. Even though this was my first snorkel experience, I felt very safe (and entertained) with my guide Dory. Also, those drysuits are super tight and kept me a lot warmer than I expected! Dory also took some fun pics of me and friends underwater!

Silfra Snorkeling Excursion – A Must-Do Experience! - Our snorkeling experience at Silfra was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and professional. We drove to the meet-up point, where we were greeted by our guide, Edgar. He was fantastic—super chatty, polite, and had a great sense of humor (he even joked that he’s only occasionally funny, but we’d say otherwise!). The drysuits were a little constricting, but that’s expected when you’re staying warm and dry in 1-degree water. Surprisingly, by the time we got out, only our hands and hair were wet! Throughout the experience, we stayed warm except for our hands and lips, but it was completely manageable. Silfra itself is breathtaking—the crystal-clear water and stunning underwater views are truly once-in-a-lifetime. Edgar provided plenty of interesting facts along the way, making the experience even more enjoyable. We also didn’t expect so many photos! He carried a GoPro the whole time, capturing both group and individual shots. He even made sure to find my partner and me so we had photos together, waiting for us to swim toward each other for the perfect shot. After the snorkeling, we were treated to delicious hot chocolate, which was a great touch. There are also toilets on-site, which was convenient. A tip for future visitors: bring a swimming cap if you don’t want wet hair! Overall, this experience was worth every penny. The suits are very buoyant, so strong swimming skills aren’t necessary, though it can get tiring by the end. All the equipment was clean and well-maintained. If you’re considering snorkeling in Silfra, don’t hesitate—it’s an unforgettable adventure!
