Crystal Clear Snorkeling!
We had an amazing time snorkeling through the crystal clear waters of the Silfra fissure. Based on our purchase, we were given the option of wet or dry suits. We chose the wet suits since we like to dive down a bit while snorkeling. While they keep you warm, you definitely get wet in these suits. If you want to stay much drier, I would opt for the dry suit that you can put over most of your clothes. This excursion may not be for everyone as it's not your typical snorkel experience (much too cold for any fish, wildlife, coral, etc.) and your face, hands and feet will get SUPER cold! Still, our guide was absolutely amazing, the fissure was stunningly beautiful under the perfectly clear water, and our included photos via the GoPro came out amazing. I'd definitely recommend this experience to do once in your life...and you'll really appreciate that nice, warm hot chocolate at the end!

Give Laura her flowers💐
First the scenery was BEYOND BEAUTIFUL ‼️‼️ The equipment was very well maintained and thoroughly cleaned… But it was LAURA who made this experience one of the top things I’ve ever done… Had it not been for her reassurance I would have never completed this excursion… If you’re nervous please don’t be! It was simple breathtaking and I appreciate her being there every step of the way!!! And to boot the pictures were absolutely WORTH IT‼️‼️‼️

Worth It
I had to lose 20 pounds in 3 months to make it under the 220 pound weight limit (including clothes, shoes, etc). They really do weigh you, so don't try to fake it. It was a very motivating goal and it worked. I got down to 212, which was needed and appreciated. It was a short ride, but very fun and scenic. Overall, it was worth it. The horses are indeed small, about 30% smaller than a quarter horse. They are very sweet and fun to ride. They have a smooth "tolt" gait and I would have loved to go for a full run down the beach (no go on that one). They ride English style which is only weird if you grew up riding Western style. You can tell the staff puts up with all us tourists because they love the horses, and think that's just fine. They were all pleasant enough. They all speak english fluently. Later in the day, we saw one of the guides training a horse out in the field and you could see the special bond they have. Overall it was a beautiful experience.

Highly recommend
Absolutely wonderful! Definitely walk around Kerid crater for all the views and take all the paths at Gullfoss waterfall. Every stop has spectacular scenery and you will continually take more photos as the views are all amazing. Our guide had so many stories about Iceland and growing up there and legends and myths, it was fantastic Loved the stories. Highly recommend

Beyong words
Floating between North America and Europe im some of the clearest water in the world is every bit as amazing as it sounds. The guides (specifically Nail) were knowled-eeâble, patient, and did a wonderful job helpine everyone feel comfortable in the cold water.
The visibility was unbelievable, and seeing the fissure from the surface felt like floating over another world. I may have accidentally consumed a few complimentary mouthfuls of Silfra water while adjusting my mask, and I can confirm it was very fresh. The aquatic plants, however were an unnecessary garnish but still the best 🥰.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience. It was one of the most unique adventures I've ever had and a memory I'I treasure for years.

Amaxing
It was amazing. I read reviews prior and many stated they thought it was too constructive, especially the neck. It was tight, but I didn’t find it that uncomfortable. I definitely didn’t want the cold water to enter! When prepping for it, be sure to wear a base layer - no bathing suit required. I definitely recommend this experience!

Amazing tour
Well worth booking. Andres coordinated with us in advance to make sure we had a high probability of see the lights, picked up us at our Arbnb (on time) and brought us on an amazing journeys to see the lights. He knew where to find them, and took great care of us.

This is my favorite tour...
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.

Our guide Dory was...
Our guide Dory was phenomenal. She was very knowledgeable about the area and was a great help with suiting up. She made sure all of us got pictures in multiple areas and redirected us when help was needed. The only complaint was that the wind and rain were cold, but only when walking to and from the area. Once in the water, it had very little effect.

Freezing but worth it!
Loved the experience but hated getting the dry suit on! It cannot be put on with gloves or mittens so your hands are frozen by the end of getting the dry suit on. The dry suit itself is frozen and difficult to pull up. Once you’re in the water, you actually feel warmer. It’s an experience like no other, to be floating between two tectonic plates! Our guide Marcin (funny guy) was always checking up on each and every one of us. At the end, I got a leg cramp and he helped me get to the exit dock. I highly recommend this tour but be sure to wear double thermals and double wool socks. I wish I had those little hand warmers and foot warmers for afterwards.

Fantastic day with the best tour guide
Outstanding tour guide. Andrea was so knowledgeable and personable. I read reviews stating he went above and beyond and he really did. We had a fantastic day. I can’t recommend Andrea enough. When we come back we will book with Andrea again. Thank you xxx

Perfect way to end our trip to Iceland
I selected this tour for my 12 year old daughter and myself because of the reviews and because it offered transportation from our hotel in Reykjavik. Simply put, it was wonderful.
The guide was also the owner of the Icelandic horses. She cared for and knew each very well so was able to match us to horses that we would each feel comfortable on. She started by learning about our riding experience then selected horses for us and had us groom them to begin to establish a connection. The horses were very friendly and responsive. I've never had such a smooth, comfortable ride.
We rode around the field and on a horse trail that ran parallel to the road. The guide took pictures throughout so we could just concentrate on the experience and safety. We got to trot and tilt and had a much more relaxed, comfortable experience than you get on the typical trail ride.
I would engage this business again and after this, 'm impressed enough to want to come back to Iceland just to go on a multi day riding trip (tho that is not something she does.
For us, having a taxi sent by the owner to take us from and back to the hotel was worth it as she is apparently sometimes not found on Google maps and more connection between her and the driver can be needed.
