Troll Expeditions Silfra

We just did the Silfra snorkeling with our guide Abbie. She was so funny, helpful and knowledgeable. What a unique trip to swim there. Don't kid yourself, it is freakin' cold. The equipment was in good condition and the hot chocolate at the end felt sooo good. The visibility is insane. It is absolutely amazing to witness this. You might even forget about the cold a little bit while you marvel at the sight. Abbie was amazing throughout the whole process of gearing up, safety briefing, snorkeling, taking pictures and getting that hot chocolate ready. Thank you for a fantastic day! 🤩

So fun ! Our guide was so nice he helped with putting on the 2 suits, gave us some fun facts, and even gave us hot chocolate and a chocolate bar after. What you wear to the meeting point is what you wear under the suit. I would recommend a base layer for pants and long sleeve base layer and warm socks. Maybe it said this in the get your guide booking but I must’ve missed it. We waited a little bit to get into the water due to other groups going but that’s no one’s fault. The water was really cold but you get used to it. The suits are pretty tight but that’s to keep the cold water out. Make sure to drink the water it was delicious ! At the end you get some free time to explore on your own which is also cool. This is the most unique tour I’ve done while traveling. Would definitely recommend

Snorkelling at Silfra was incredible! The water was crystal clear, and swimming between the tectonic plates felt like something out of a movie. Our guide, Vicky, was amazing - super friendly and knowledgeable. She even gave us hot chocolate and a chocolate bar after the snorkelling, and made sure my wife, who didn’t snorkel, got one too. Such a thoughtful touch! :) I’d definitely do this again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Iceland. Amazing experience throughout!

We had the pleasure of doing a Silfra snorkeling tour with Augustine as our guide. He was super experienced and capable and did a great job of preparing us for our swim. I Felt really safe going out into the unknown with him and I knew he would have my back if I needed him. He helped me to be a better snorkeler too. We watched him helping other people who weren’t even in our group. As for the snorkeling, it exceeded expectations. The water is so clear and the moss that grows on the rocks is mesmerizing. It’s crazy how deep down you can see. Clearest water of my life! We managed to spot an Artic Char and everyone in our group did really well. You could see how it’s not for everyone, but if you’re adventurous get out there!!

My daughter and I did this amazing tour back in September, but I just now realized I never wrote a review. Hands down the most incredible thing we did during our time in Iceland - if you are at all on the fence about doing it - just BOOK IT! You won't regret it. We were concerned about the cold - it was a non-issue. Troll suited us up so well that we were toasty warm the whole time. Your head and hands get wet, but the rest of you is perfectly warm and dry and you don't feel a thing. I promise. We were concerned about the suit being too tight and panicking - again, non-issue. Yes, it was tight, but not so tight as to feel claustrophobia kick in. It is heavy though, so be prepared to walk a short distance in a heavy suit both before and after the swim. I was mildly concerned because I am not a super strong swimmer - the suit is unbelievably buoyant and there is very little actual swimming that you have to do. It was windy on our day with just a little chop on the water at the end, and I was able to get through it just fine. The actual swim itself was incredible - the visibility was amazing, it almost didn't feel real. You are not in the water for too long (about 45-50 mins or so) but we found it just perfect. I HIGHLY recommend booking the first tour of the day as we did (8:30 am but this may be different at different times of the year depending on the daylight), so that you are one of the first groups in the water. Otherwise, you can be waiting in line for an hour or more for your turn, as only a certain number of swimmers are allowed in at a time. By the time we were walking back from our swim, the line to enter was already pretty long. I had looked at a couple of other companies when trying to decide who to book this tour with, and I am super happy that I chose Troll. They prepared us so well, great equipment, the changing facility was spacious and dry, the pictures were incredible and our guide (Manon) was just amazing. I loved her. She made us feel so comfortable in the water and ensured we were all having a great time. The hot chocolate and chocolate bar treat at the end was an awesome way to finish this experience. 5++ Stars and worth every penny!

Had an amazing experience snorkeling in the Silfra between the two tectonic plates!! Once in a lifetime experience and so glad I did it! I was nervous about it initially because I traveled solo and I'm not the strongest swimmer but the wet suit they provided kept you afloat and nice and warm. I was not cold one bit! Thank you to our amazing guide Mike, he was informative, friendly, attentive, and took awesome photos for us to remember forever! Thanks so much Mike and Troll Expedition Silfra!

Highly recommended tour! Snorkeling at Silfra was one of the most surreal and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had — truly unlike anything else on Earth. Where else can you literally swim between two tectonic plates in water so clear it feels like you’re flying? Kudos to the Troll team for making it an extraordinary experience!

Great experience. A must do while in Iceland. The water is crystal clear. The view are stunning. Getting in and out of a Drysuit is an adventure all on its own. Cecilia, our tour guide was great. She was engaging, entertaining and kept us safe I highly recommend troll for this adventure.
