10/10 - incredible, gorgeous experience - Absolutely incredible experience, so so glad we booked! Water was very chilly, but completely worth it! (also given hot chocolates when we came out which helped). The changing vans were really warm and well heated which helped the changing situation when getting out. Small group size of 6 people and Veli our guide was really friendly and funny, made the experience even better. I brought my go pro for pictures, but guide also took photos for us on their cameras - water was the clearest I’ve ever seen! The experience ended at sunrise for us (early November) which was a gorgeous way to end it, with lovely views of the national park, and made for a pretty drive back to Reykjavik. Timing wise, did the 12:30 pick up in Reykjavik to arrive for 13:30, kit up and experience from 14:00. Back in Reykjavík for 17:30.

Worth every penny - I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone - you don't even have to know how to swim :) After the very convenient pick-up from Reykjavík by James, we took about a 45 minutes drive down to Þingvellir to meet our guides. It was my first time snorkeling, but everything was explained perfectly and I felt well taken care of. The experience itself was amazing, and I will definitely try it again during the wintertime. Special thanks to Nikos for being the best guide ever (and for the hot cocoa + cookies)!

Great - The experience is very magical, the tour was longer than we expected and they gave us time to explore by ourselves. Also, our tour guide Nikos was so nice and friendly :)
