Silfra Fissure Snorkeling with optional Reykjavik Pickup

Although the temperature that day was only 2 degrees Celsius, I still wanted to experience diving in Iceland. I felt very warm when I first entered the water because the water temperature remained at 1 degree. Then it started to get very cold, but I still thought it was cool to experience it.

the vendor was arctic adventures and they were clearly very experienced - the snorkel-guide had a very good sense of humour and made us felt at ease through the dressing-up process. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

The snorkeling experience was phenomenal! While the water was cold, the body was kept dry wearing the dry suit! Excellent guide and great photos! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time! Our guide Sara helped us through the entire set up process (from wearing the equipment to leading us through the Silfra fissure). Slightly expensive but definitely once in a lifetime experience.

This snorkeling activity is very good, and it is such a rare experience to be able to see the clear glacier water! You must try it when you come to Iceland

Wearing a wetsuit on land is incredibly hot, almost suffocating (you probably have to wait 30 minutes before getting in the water). Thankfully, it's cool and comfortable once you're in the water. The water is very clear. Even with 300 degrees of nearsightedness, I could see clearly underwater without contacts. I recommend that people with high myopia wear contact lenses because they don't provide prescription dive masks there. If you're not a good swimmer, think carefully. It's hard to breathe in a wetsuit. Underwater, it looks very deep and amazing, but don't worry about sinking. Important reminder: you must wear socks. This is very important; they won't let you in the water if you don't.

The snorkelling was great and Dominica was excellent leading our group. The transfer was smooth. Highly recommend seeing the fissure and how deep parts of it run.

Thanks to our coach Michi ❤️so nice and so supportive to our tour. This experience is so special.

Wetsuit dressing in winter can be a bit difficult. Although the itinerary description and reminders don't have any special requirements, it's not really recommended for people who can't swim to try it out. The scenery at the experience location is very beautiful.

Coach: We absolutely love our Italian coach, Faide! He's enthusiastic and patient, very professional, and even arranges individual photos for everyone!
