Ines made Silfra unforgettable with great care, clear guidance, and focus on everyone’s comfort. - We had an incredible snorkeling experience at Silfra, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Ines. From the very beginning, her attention to detail stood out. She took the time to ensure that every piece of equipment fit properly and explained everything clearly, which immediately put our group at ease. You could tell she was not just going through the motions—she was truly focused on making sure each person felt prepared and confident before getting into the water. What I appreciated most was how attentive she was to everyone’s comfort level. Snorkeling in glacial water can be a bit intimidating, but Ines checked in frequently, adjusted her pace to match the group, and created a calm, supportive environment. Whether someone was a first-timer or more experienced, she made sure everyone felt safe and able to enjoy the experience fully. Once in the water, she continued to guide us thoughtfully, pointing out features of the rift and making sure we stayed together while still giving us space to take in how surreal and beautiful Silfra is. Overall, this was a truly memorable experience, and Ines’ professionalism, care, and attention to detail made all the difference. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering snorkeling in Silfra.

Frreezingly amazing - It was an amazing experience. Our guide Kaja was great and the snorkeling in the pristine clean and icy cold waters of Silfra was unforgettable. It was not just the snorkelling itself it was the whole experience of being able to whitstand the elements. We were really lucky to pick a very nice December day that was not too cold and had no wind either. Having the experience with ice cold water swimming before I knew the feeling of extreme happiness aferwards. It just makes you laugh.

Very cool adventure! - Such a cool thing to do, of course it was cold but I definitely think it was worth doing the wetsuit instead of drysuit. I could go under the water and do a little bit of free diving, it was hard staying under the water though, I was quite buoyant. It was quite hard to put the wetsuit on though but that’s all part of the adventure. Silfra in its self was very beautiful!

Unique experience from an amazing company- highly recommend! - Unique experience in a beautiful national park. A great tour company and Dory was an amazing guide! Even though it was a daunting experience, she was kind, helpful, and accommodating. She made my grandpa feel comfortable and it was a great experience for all of us. And the hot chocolate was a sweet treat as well. The water was so cold but it was worth it. Would highly recommend this adventure and this group.

Great snorkel adventure! - Great experience at Silfra with Adventure Vikings and our guide Ines! I enjoyed the wetsuit and the ability to dive down and found the cold water quite manageable. Merci beaucoup Ines for teaching us about the area, teaching us technique, snapping a ton of photos, wrestling us in & out of the suits, and for keeping the vibe fun from start to finish!
