We had a great time snorkelling with our guide, Cristo! He made the experience very fun and put us right at ease. And the photos he gave us afterwards are fab!
Our only slight complaint is that the small print indicates that you have the option to change the time slot for Sky Lagoon, but when we called them we were told their bookings were full, so wouldn't change our time slot. This meant we had to rearrange our plans for the day.
Apart from that, we had a fab time and would definitely recommend this experience to others.

What an experience to be able to swim between tectonic plates. The water was so clear, the views were amazing. Highly recommend, it’s such a unique experience. Huge shoutout to our guide, Kevin, who was so fun - we had such a great time with him!

This tour was fantastic if you have booked a car in the city. The snorkeling was a once in a lifetime activity- just make sure you pack warm, wool socks bc our toes were freezing! We defrosted in the sky lounge, which was another fantastic pairing!

It was really unique experience! That day the weather was bad, windy and cloudy, but our guide Levin prepared us and relaxed pretty well for cold water and dry suite. When we dive into the water and saw many beautifull coluors so clear and so bright we were astonished. We really enjoyed snorkeling in Silfra. I would definitly recomend it to everybody who like nature and want to try something diferent. Our hot part in Sky lagoon we took day after and that place was wonderfull, with view to the ocean, it was really relaxing and peacefull. We enjoyed at 7 steps ritual too. Hot and cold combination of Silfra & Sky Lagoon was perfect!

We had the most wonderful experience snorkelling in Silfra with Doris as our guide, she is both professional and fun loving! Her instructions are clear and we felt safe in her hands. It’s an awesome experience putting on the dry suit and getting into icy cold water, yes we can’t feel our lips and fingers but we had so much fun! Strongly recommended!

Two of the more spectacular things we did in Iceland.
Regarding the snorkeling, it was hella cold, and the prep work took a while, but it was well worth it. The guides, Arturo and Dory, were fun, informative, and extremely helpful. The view underwater was amazing. The bragging rights to be able to say this was something we did, priceless.
The Sky Lagoon was the perfect way to end the experience. It was never too hot that you couldn’t just stay in the spa, and the Ritual felt a little gimmicky, but also quite enjoyable. But, it does have two advantages over the Blue Lagoon: first, very little crowd. Enough people to make you feel like you did a thing with others, but could easily move around and have nice moments alone, and second, the view was spectacular. The Infinity pool overlooking the ocean was amazing, and the swim-up bar was perfect.
