Once in a lifetime experience!

Published on Feb, 2025

Incredible experience. Our guide Dani was a total professional. My youngest has never snorkeled and it's not comfortable in a dry suit so anxiety started to kick in. He was attentive and calming - my son ended up loving the experience. Were we cold? Yes - but would do it again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience with Ioannis (John)

Published on Feb, 2025

Wow what an experience, picked up on time, all kit provided, bit challenging getting the suits on but they keep you nice and worm. Brilliant instructor Ioannis (John). He had our safety as a priority with his full attention. Lots of photos taken and available for free download after. Highly recommended. Thanks Ioannis.

Great Experience

Published on Feb, 2025

It was a grand experience that cannot be experienced elsewhere. Chris was an absolutely fantastic guide. He made us feel so very comfortable in what could have been a frightening experience. I am so very happy I took part in this snorkeling adventure. I’d recommend to anyone.

Excellent

The guide guy was super nice and professional! He was from Belgium! The weather was good. Very cold but super sunny. Well organised

Incredible experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

I booked the snorkelling through the tectonic plates at Silfra with this tour company which included transfers and it was incredible! Our guide/ snorkelling instructor Nikos was great. Very knowledgeable, supportive and funny! The snorkelling itself was great magical views, the water was not too cold due to all of the clothes/ and dry suit- i went on the 20th Dec 2024. I would highly recommend booking this activity.
