Fantastic experience. Doris our instructor was very friendly and helpful. Plenty of time in the water. I choose wet suit so I could dive under. Doris gave great tips how to dive in a wetsuit.

Extremely rushed - the driver who picked us up drove like maniac in bad weather in order to meet a entry deadline - they rushed everyone through the fit out stage and so called safety briefing and then straight into the water - never felt safe through the whole process- to cap it off the exit process is just as rushed and the same driver speeded back and even managed to text someone whilst driving - I’m sure they’re are better providers than these cowboys 😢
This experience was unforgettable!! The rocks and algae looked otherworldly. Drinking the very water we were swimming in was insane! Our guide, Dory, was professional and friendly. 10/10!!😍😍😍
Dori was amazing! 10/10 We had a great time and loved every minute!!
Great experience! We were so well looked after throughout, and the whole experience was insightful, enjoyable, and great fun. Thank you for such a memorable snorkel!
It was amazing! Thanks for everything Dory
Doris was fantastic! She was really funny and super clear about all the directions. Made the trip so fun. Great about getting cool photos too, so if you want proof you were between tectonic plates and look like you’re having a time, better hope she’s leading your group! It was easy to find the location, and the snorkel experience is just a short (very short) walk from where you meet. Suiting up was really quick but our group was fairly able-bodied and efficient. We were in dry suits and stayed pretty warm. Will definitely do this again - totally worth it and one of the best activities you can do on the Golden Circle.
Excellent help for putting on and off dry suit. Visibility was 10/10. Great experience to see the Silfra fissure and the North American tectonic plate
We had the best time with our tour guide, Anil! He made the process of getting our dry suits on so easy. We also appreciated how attentive he was with our daughters to make sure they were safe. This was an incredible experience!!!
Great experience with Dori on september 6th, even though it was early she was efficient and fun.
We had a great time. Dory was very patient and informative. The queue to enter was not long. The experience was one of a lifetime. With all the gear in the drysuits we did not get cold or wet. I recommend this experience.
Doris was an excellent and attentive guide. She was there when someone needed help yet made sure we all had amazing photos!!
Dory was great! She was very sufficient.
Dory was great, the dive was great
What an amazing experience!! Dori was absolutely amazing. She was so helpful and kind - she really made our day.
This was one of the best experiences we have ever had as a family. We felt safe while doing something quite adventurous. Ines was a fun, friendly and superb guide on this underwater adventure. I would highly recommend this company, especially Ines and her wonderful photography skills! I memory to treasure as a family for a very long time
One of the investors I did in Iceland. Thrilling and unusual experience; very safe; crystal Clearwater; just make sure you know how to swim
Truly a unique experience that I highly recommend! Dry suit keeps you nice and dry—not as cold as you may think! Our guide informed us that the morning is a busier time, so we did wait in a queue, but it moved efficiently and we didn’t mind! Doris was our guide and she was AMAZING! Funny, knowledgeable, and tolerant of all our questions and quirks of the group! Don’t miss out on this!
Doris inspired confidence. She kept us safe & WARM & DRY!!! Very pleasant & informative.
Great experience, great guide
Dory was a super helpful and knowledgeable guide. All of our equipment was prepared and she was able to guide us through our snorkeling adventure. I highly recommend her and this experience!
It was a top experience. Ines, our guide, was the best explaining very well what we were about to do and how, and she was checking on us during the hole thing. She could explain in english, spanish and french but she also speaks dutch. At the end of it we got the hot chocolate, just what we needed after the cold water.
Could not do the activity, suits & gears provided were old , torn and not feasible . In today’s world of comfort and high performance they still use rubber chocker bands on neck to make the suit leak proof, tight rubber bands on wrist which chocks blood flow, tight rubber neck bands which is not feasible to wear. I think they should be banned to use these suits else someone will definitely die. My money went into drain. “No response from get your guide or activity provider even after several complaints “
We loved this tour, Kaya was amazing and super helpful throughout the trip!! Would definitely recommend.
10/10! Very good experience and would definitely recommend! Adventure Vikings staff did great, very helpful and made the Silfra experience even better. I went snorkelling in Silfra which was absolutely beautiful.
We booked the 12 o'clock slot and got a small group of three people with our tour guide Ines. The experience takes 3h, of which 30-40 minutes are spent in the water snorkeling between two tectonic plates. After a short introduction and medical questionnaire, you get helped into your dry suit and head to the starting point where you get some quick instructions on how to behave while in the water. The views are breathtaking and you get many photos taken of you. After you get to warm up with a hot drink of choice. This experience is an absolute must do and qas made even better by having our wonderful guide Ines.
An awesome experience with ace tour guide Kaya, who is extremely capable and a lot of fun. We have done a lot of diving, and Silfra is a unique adventure. Highly recommend Adventure Vikings, and Kaya is fantastic.
We had an amazing experience and Doris did an incredible job ! We felt very secure with her , she know exactly what she is doing and had everything under control! We enjoyed every second! Thank you !
Great host and experience would highly recommend
Dory was a great guide, step by step instructions were perfect and needed for a group of non-snorkelers like us.
Dory was helpful and funny i enjoy her company fo all the tour
Amazing experience made even better with an awesome guide, Kaya. She put safety first, was knowledgeable about the area and quite the conservationist (love those birds)!
Amazing experience. Our guide was helpful and patient .She even gave us a free hot drink at the end of it all.
Wow what an experience... Dory you where amazing and very knowledgeable about the area. Thank you
Dori was a great guide - explained everything well and kept us dry! Highly recommend!
Better than expected could of stayed in the water all day Would definitely recommend it to any level of dive experience Crystal Clear Waters Also the best drive king water ever tasted Dori was an amazing instruction and calm at all times
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.
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!
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.
Dory was fantastic! So much fun. She was very professional and friendly. The snorkeling was beautiful and an incredible experience
100% worth it activity. Dori was such a nice and perfect instructor! She was kind and also helped us be prepared very safe.
Dory is a very kind and nice guide. She pay attention to you if you are newbies! The tour is happy and lovely in the whole process.
It was such a great experience!!! I am usually fearful of water but my guide ( Ines!) really out me at ease and I simply enjoyed it all the way through. Great view, the water was super clear and had a lot of fun !
Awesome time and guide was the best. I would highly recommend taking this experience. Water is cold but the hot chocolate at the end is worth it.
Dory was a fantastic guide and served the best hot chocolate, she gave clear instructions and helped each person suit up. It was an amazing experience and I would recommend her as a guide to anyone.
Unforgettable experience, crystal clear glacial waters at 2 degrees centigrade. Doris was fantastic. She helped us don our dry suits to ensure great fit. She explained the equipment well and the simples techniques we might need to clear our masks/snorkells during the snorkel tour of Silfra. We were even fortunate to see an Atlantic Char swimming deep in the fissure. I was worried it might be too cold to complete the 30-40 min tour but I had no problems. Doris took lots of photos and we were amazed they were uploaded the next day. A small and tasty cup of hot chocolate was brought to the changing van once we had doffed our diving suits.
What a great experience! Doris was the best! She’s really helpfull and she even spotted a big blue fish! Liked her humor and she makes the best hot chocos of the island!!
This is a wonderful experience and Anil made it easy, explaining and helping each step of the way. Due to the extreme cold water, you have to wear a dry-suit, which was a new experience for us. Once in the water, you have an incredible view of the rock formations and plant/algae growths in the fissure. Lots of colors. Definitely recommend contact lenses if you normally wear glasses.
What an incredible experience!! The water, our guide Dory, the Golden Circle area, the snorkeling- everything was AMAZING! Dory made sure we were well equipped and well prepared before she led us into the very chilly water, then she photographed and led with expertise and humor! She’s fabulous! We highly advise adding this adventure to anyone’s trip!! (If you see Dory tell her we said hey!)
Our guide Alex was fantastic. Everything went super smoothly. He was knowledgeable and easy going yet super competent. Our family of 5 had a great time!
