10000/10 experience absolutely must do!!! Max was our tour guide for most of the day and was fabulous and Abbie was our instructor for the snorkel section. Max was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the environment and history of all of the places we got to see and even let us stop to see the ponies!! Abbie took amazing pictures and made sure we all felt safe and comfortable prior to getting in the water. Such a unique amazing experience and could not say enough great things!!!

Had the pleasure of being taken on our tour by Ella in ‘Rambo’ the monster 4x4 mini bus! Great story telling and explanations on the road between stops: trolls, elves and the hidden people who inhabit Iceland along with us humans! Gave us plenty of time at each location and even made an extra stop to see the legendary Icelandic horses. Great day out.

This is my favorite tour out of the 3 I did in Iceland. The snorkeling is magical and Lilian was the perfect guide. He keeps you laughing. The stops around the golden circle were well timed. The driver kept us very entertained with stories and history. Don’t miss this one.

Highly recommended. For a first-time snorkeling experience, James' patience, approachability, and timely encouragement gave me the courage and confidence — thank you so much! The underwater scenery was truly eye-opening. As for the water temperature, all I can say is, wow! If you go by driving, I think it would be better to look around the national park.

Value for money, spectacular waterfalls than the south coast, geysers are unique, the view of the snorkelling site on good days is quite beautiful, there is nothing to see under the snorkel itself almost no fish, mainly between the two plates the experience is special. Coach James was professional and friendly. Try not to roll over frequently when snorkeling, and the neckline of your clothing is prone to water. The minibus transportation experience is also comfortable.

I had a great time on this tour. Bjorn was helpful and on time with everything. He gave us brief histories on things we drove by and we even took some detours to get more of an Icelandic experience than what we paid for. We saw a bunch of waterfalls, a geyser, pet some Icelandic horses, and went snorkeling in between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Really cool stuff and I’d book him again for another experience if I’m in Iceland again.
