The guide was great! Answered all my questions and made the whole experience enjoyable and fun. An underwater camera is a must. The water is cold but you wear an insulation suit under a dry suite so its actually not that bad even though the water is only 4 degrees C. This was a great experience, I've never been snorkeling before and this was an excellent first time.

Fantastic trip, was very peaceful and beautiful. Laurent was a great host too. Thoroughly recommend if you can handle the cold and take your time to enjoy the experience!

An amazing experience snorkelling, we were lucky and had a lovely clear day without too much wind. A toasty -5 but the dry suit kept us nice and warm. The views are amazing, definitely worth doing.

The highlight of my trip to Iceland! It takes a lot of work and effort to put on a dry suit over a snowsuit, but the snorkeling was just marvelous. Well worth it!

It was my first time ever snorkeling and I unfortunately didn't enjoy it. Couldn't get the hang of it and as a result couldn't keep up with the rest of the group and was left for a good while on my own-it was scary. you get changed into the thermals and dry suit in the open -very very cold.the water is extremely clear so you can clearly see the giant fissure below you.there are no fish to be seen, just the fissure!! Bit more instruction would have been good.
