What an amazing experience and Joi was an excellent guide! What an amazing Icelandic experience for our family! Highly recommend!!

by Richard S

No.1 experience on my trip to Iceland. It was probably the first time my head was clear as the water we were snorkeling in and I wasn’t thinking about anything. Our guide Gabe was very funny and helpful. 5/5 would go again.

by Carolina B

Great experience! Very cold but soooo worth it 💫 Felt surreal to be here. Konrad was our guide, very knowledgeable, thoughtful and funny 😊 I got a little anxious beforehand and he was very considerate, reassured me and I felt really safe with him! Me and my partner had such a good time.

by Rob G

OUTSTANDING experience! Incredible scenery with unbelievable clarity in the water. Anna Maria was amazing looking after us from minute one (getting the gear on!) to the end when we were given a lovely cup of hot chocolate to see us off. Brilliant all round.
