Snorkeling the Silfra fissure with Arctic Adventures was, without question, the crown jewel of our entire trip around Iceland. We came to this country chasing the extraordinary — and somehow, this experience still managed to exceed every expectation we had built along the way. "There are moments in travel that stop time. Drifting through the clearest water on earth, between the Americas and Europe, was one of them." Our guide Henry was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, he walked us through everything we needed to know with genuine enthusiasm and expertise — briefing us on the geology of the rift, coaching us on technique, and making sure every member of the group felt confident before we ever touched the water. His knowledge of Silfra ran deep, and his calm, reassuring presence made the whole experience feel both safe and truly special. We also got to see Mikki guiding the other group alongside us — clearly a well-oiled team. The whole operation felt professional and thoughtful from start to finish. The dry suits provided by Arctic Adventures were a revelation. Despite the near-freezing glacial water, we stayed completely dry and comfortable throughout the entire snorkel. The gear fitting was thorough, and the quality made all the difference — this is not a company cutting corners. Silfra itself is otherworldly. The visibility stretches endlessly through water so pure it feels unreal. Drifting between the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia, through cathedral-like underwater passages, is something that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else on earth. Arctic Adventures gave us the perfect vessel for that experience. If you are doing a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Iceland, do not skip this. And when you go — book with Arctic Adventures. Ask for Henry. You will not regret a single moment.

The cave was so cool, our guide was really knowledgeable and having a moment to sit in the darkness without the lights was so trippy but fun. Then going to the silfra fissure snorkeling was amazing, the water is so clear, and having hot cocoa with marshmallows after hit the spot!

If you want a memorable experience take the time to go on this tour. One learn much more than the culinary delight of Iceland. Our guide was very knowledgeable about culinary traditions and also a history buff. We had a fantastic time with Paul. Thank you

The Iceland Bus Transfer is worry free option to get from the remote airport to Reykjavík. I’m from Southern California. The trip from Los Angeles to New York and from New York to Iceland is quite a journey. Not having to worry about getting into my hotel was a blessing. Having the transfer pre-booked was worry, free. After you leave customs and grab your luggage. The buses are conveniently located right outside. The the staff was very helpful and considerate, the buses were very comfortable, and again it was seamless and were free! I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone traveling in Iceland!

Traveled on Easter Sunday for this Golden Circle tour. Very little traffic in the city so we were soon on our way. Franklin was our guide. He is a native Icelander and his comedic dialogue kept us laughing throughout the trip. Enjoyed the tour since we didn’t have to think about driving or parking. Franklin shared very interesting information about the country and the sights. He was so thoughtful that he took time to verify another passenger’s booked event after the tour so she wasn’t dropped off in the wrong spot. A larger than life Icelander with a heart of gold. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Awesome experience for a girls trip. Staff is friendly and ensure safety is important! Shout out to Piotr for saving my friend’s life - she started panicking with the mask on and he saw her right away, grabbed her and helped her calm down and breath properly with the mask on. Highly recommend ! Fun group of operators.

It was a bit hard to find the bus, better signage would be helpful. Once we were on the tour the driver and guide were very personable and knowledgeable about the area. They were super excited to shate their wonderful country with us. The tour went on schedule with plenty of time for pictures and some exploration.

The Blue Lagoon was awesome an experience and we would do it again. We found 2 hours was enough time for us. The bus ride was comfortable and interesting scenery/topography enroute to the Blue Lagoon. We are on a cruise, and we amazed at the difference in between Reykjavik and other ports. Beautiful country! The only negative comment is my wife wanted private a changing room and we booked the premium package with a "comfort entrance" and even messaged tour operator after we arrived in Reykjavik about "private changing rooms" we were assured we had this included. There are no private changing rooms. It really is no big deal, as there are multiple separate rooms, for both men only and women only and it was not an issue. The staff was very helpful.
