Enjoy Silfra snorkeling with a private guide. Silfra Fissure is 2-4 degrees temperature. Choose between a drysuit or a wetsuit for a Viking experience as we spend about 30 - 40 minutes max in the crystal clear water. A wetsuit allows you to to be more flexible and dive under while a drysuit helps keep you warm as you let the light currently slowly take you down the crack between continents.

Amazing experience!
It was amazing! Thanks for everything Dory

One of the coolest things you can do in Iceland!
Doris was fantastic! She was really funny and super clear about all the directions. Made the trip so fun. Great about getting cool photos too, so if you want proof you were between tectonic plates and look like you’re having a time, better hope she’s leading your group! It was easy to find the location, and the snorkel experience is just a short (very short) walk from where you meet. Suiting up was really quick but our group was fairly able-bodied and efficient. We were in dry suits and stayed pretty warm. Will definitely do this again - totally worth it and one of the best activities you can do on the Golden Circle.

Great experience
Excellent help for putting on and off dry suit. Visibility was 10/10. Great experience to see the Silfra fissure and the North American tectonic plate

We had the best time with...
We had the best time with our tour guide, Anil! He made the process of getting our dry suits on so easy. We also appreciated how attentive he was with our daughters to make sure they were safe. This was an incredible experience!!!

Private Silfra Snorkeling 6 p. group - Meet on Location - with Underwater Photos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Silfra Snorkeling 6 p. group - Meet on Location - with Underwater Photos cost?
+
Prices start at $899 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Silfra Snorkeling 6 p. group - Meet on Location - with Underwater Photos take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Private Silfra Snorkeling 6 p. group - Meet on Location - with Underwater Photos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 194 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Silfra Snorkeling 6 p. group - Meet on Location - with Underwater Photos?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Silfra Snorkeling 6 p. group - Meet on Location - with Underwater Photos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Silfra Snorkeling 6 p. group - Meet on Location - with Underwater Photos?
+
Around 68 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Silfra Snorkeling 6 p. group - Meet on Location - with Underwater Photos start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
