“We had such a fun time! Wilfred was our guide/leader and he did an excellent job prepping us and giving instructions. We had a little hiccup with one of our friend’s suits and he caught it immediately and fixed it before getting in the water. He had us all laughing and enjoying our time and the pictures he took turned out great. Highly recommend the snorkeling and request Wilfred if you can!”

Review of Silfra snorkeling from Reykjavik, with clear glacier water, tectonic plates, dry-suit tips, timing, value, and booking advice.

“A great experience. The guides helped everyone suit up and briefed us well on what to expect. The slow current carried us at a leisurely pace through the water. All we had to do was float (which the buoyant suits make easy), look down, and enjoy the picturesque view below. Beautiful and unforgettable. Plus, afterward you can walk to Thingvellir, the location of the medieval Viking parliament, which is just around the corner. Geology and history in one gorgeous spot.”

Snorkel between tectonic plates at Silfra in Iceland, with crystal-clear water, small groups, drysuits, photos, and hot chocolate.

“It was an incredible experience! It was surreal. Very bazar going snorkelling between two tectonic plates and in December haha. But it was very cool. We did the dry suit option. I’d just suggest to wear two pairs of socks. If you are doing this in the Winter, the waiting around before getting into the water isn’t easy. My feet were in so much pain beforehand but once you’re in, it’s a lot warmer! But definitely do this if you can!”

“I would 100% do this tour again. Dori was a rockstar. Extremely safety focused, and diligent to ensure we all had a good time. It was FREEZING the day we went. I thought I had enough layers, but for the sake of your toes, wear an extra layer of socks. Their dry suits are toasty, but given it was snowing and the water was just above freezing, you’ll thank yourself later.”

Snorkel Silfra from Reykjavík between two tectonic plates, with a PADI divemaster, dry suit, photos, hot chocolate, and transfers.

“This trip was poorly organised from the very start when the pick up bus arrived late. I few points should be made clear before booking this experience like bringing thin under layers which will act as a base under the dry suit. Also there are hight restrictions which were not clear at all when a booked. The dry suits are massive so anyone under 5ft will struggle to find a dry suit that fits them properly. My dry suit was massive so i did struggle with the snorkelling when i finally entered the water after lots of waiting around. The instructor Fede was helpful at first but after a while…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 176 reviews · from $202

Snorkel between tectonic plates at Silfra and explore Raufarholshellir lava tunnel on a guided day trip from Reykjavík.

“Lava caving was a quiet experience, got to see the "rainbow" and natural formation of the lava. I wasn't sure it if I want to do snorkeling at first, because I'm not comfortable with water. But I'm glad I did, "Steven" did great to ensure that I don't drown. I was tired half way, and "STEVEN" pulled me along with him so I can catch up with rest of the group. The under water has amazing view, i will never ever forget this experience! And the dry suit keeps you warm and floating!”
