Emilio is an awesome guide!

On October 7th, my husband Charlie and I went snorkelling with Emilio, and he was incredible from start to finish. He explained the safety stuff clearly and set a calm, reassuring tone right away. When I panicked (and threw up) and needed to come out early, he stayed calm, kind, and never made me feel awkward. Charlie had a wonderful time, and Emilio also captured amazing photos that we’re genuinely grateful for. He made a tough moment feel safe, kept the experience positive for both of us, and went above and beyond in every way. Emilio is the kind of guide you hope for, steady, thoughtful, and generous. We can’t recommend him enough. Seriously. He is awesome! Thank you, EMILIO!

Excellent guide! Can't...

Excellent guide! Can't wait to get the pictures back. Experience was tainted by a client attempting to unsuccessfully dive deeper using a wetsuit and in the process almost hit me multiple times. Drysuit and wetsuit snorkeling should be scheduled separately if clients are going to be allowed to attempt deeper dives when using a wetsuit. Mixing the two along with differing experience levels of the snorkelers is a disaster waiting to happen.

A brilliant day out in Iceland

The Golden Circle and Secret Lagoo was a brilliant day trip. Sonny and our driver were excellent and made it a very comfortable trip. There was plenty of time in each place and the lunchtime food stop was fab. Excellent food at a good price. Pick up and drop off was on time and easy.

Bonnie is the best!

I am a solo traveler and this was a great way to meet people and learn about the city! Bonnie did a great job educating us, feeding us and keeping the tour fun! I would highly recommend to anyone. I would also suggest this be your first activity when you arrive to get the lay of the land and get some good food! I can truly tell that Bonnie loves her job, she was amazing! Thank you Bonnie!!

Snorkeling adventure to never forget

We were warmly welcomed by the people. We were guided in a small group by the Argentinian Bula. Cheerful and very helpful with everything. She also took the time to take beautiful photos as a memory. The idea of going snorkeling in Iceland was quite exciting beforehand, but a wonderful experience to have. Thanks for the delicious chocolate milk and incredibly tasty cookie, which we immediately bought 2 dozen of at the first supermarket, hahaha. Kind regards, Robin & Joyce from Holland

The BEST Option For Snorkeling in Iceland

Absolutely AMAZING experience. You will have a lot of choices for snorkeling guides, but I would HIGHLY recommend going with this one! Did this with my two teenage boys. We had no prior experience with snorkeling, but the guide made it easy. I had also made a mistake in my form and given my weigh in pounds instead of kilos 🤣. The guide was able to get me the right sized suit anyway despite me being half the size my form said I would be! Gracious, patient, and great with my kids! I cannot recommend this enough

Silfra snorkeling

We came on October 19 to go snorkeling with the instructor Will. It was a great experience, a timeless moment that will remain etched in our memories. But be careful, this activity is not for everyone; you must be well informed, be comfortable in cold water, and know how to breathe with a snorkel. Will is a great instructor, attentive, kind, and funny. He helped us a lot with the equipment and explained the instructions well to us. I highly recommend this activity for snorkeling fans in a unique place. Matisse and Lou

Great experience

Great experience, I recommend!! I decided to book at the last minute and I was not disappointed!! The guide Jampy was super friendly and his explanations were clear. Once in the water, he let us explore while guiding us. It is truly a unique experience to swim in the clearest water in the world, between two tectonic plates. You will not regret it!! And the hot chocolate is excellent!!

A must do if you can!

My wife and I had an incredible experience! Adjusting to the fit of the water tight suits took some getting used to, but Wow was it worth it! Our guide, Will worked very hard to explain everything and make sure we were safe. He took care of each and everyone along the entire swim. The sights downward under water were beautiful. Thanks for providing this experience.

Very fun!

This was a great time! Enough mix of exciting and funny to keep it a fun experience. Anil was a great guide and kept us all feeling very safe and secure, explained the experience well before hand so we all felt prepared. Suit is right around the neck on land, though in the water the air in the suit makes the feeling go away- a very cold but great time! Hot chocolate after made the experience too :) photos after we’re both beautiful and hilarious.

10000/10 experience...

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!!!
