Enjoy Silfra snorkeling with a private guide. Silfra Fissure is 2-4 degrees temperature. Choose between a drysuit or a wetsuit for a Viking experience as we spend about 30 - 40 minutes max in the crystal clear water.

Experiencia top

5.00It 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.
Uncomfortable and illegal use of old gears

1.00Could 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 “
Awesome!

Silfra Snorkeling - Experience the World between two Tectonic Plates

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We 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.
