Must do activity
Fran_W, Jan 2022
Great to combine activities especially if you don’t have a car. Lava cave is interesting and the lava fields it is under are also impressive. Silfra looks like not much more than a ditch from above and on a dull and snowy day I was sceptical. Put your head under the water and you immediately forget about all the hassle of getting kitted up . Crystal clear water and beautiful rock formations . Definitely worth the effort and the cold hands and face. Adventure Vikings very good professional company with friendly, helpful and informative guides
Once in a lifetime experience
Matthew_W, Dec 2021
One of the best things I've ever done. Once you're in the water in a dry suit, you don't feel the cold at all. I was very worried about swimming and trying to stay afloat, but the dry suit takes care all of that, you just have to keep calm and enjoy the view. Our snorkeling guides, Vero and Chicco were excellent and funny and such great company. There was another chap from Mexico, I can't remember his name, and he was wonderful as well. What a great experience! The lava caves were breathtaking and an experience I'll never forget.
Best in the land of Fire and Ice

Absolutely amazing experience. The lava cave was beautiful as were the mountains around it. The guide “B” was funny, helpful and full of information. The snorkeling was unbelievable. Both Luis and Alberto were fantastic guides. They were charming, funny, and very helpful/professional. You have the option of a wet or dry suit and they do a great job explaining both and getting you suited up. Once in the water, it is breathtaking and the length of time is perfect! Once in a lifetime tour
Great choice!!

Lava Caving was wonderful . Our guide was patient, prompt, he loved to share his enthusiasm for caving. Sadly we were unable to take part in snorkeling. We unaware of requirement for Dr's ok over age 65. Please make sure ALL travel sites emphasize in their description. 😎 All in all A+
Cave and snorkel Tour

This tour was great! Easy and fun the whole time. Tour guides were hella awesome too ! The views you get while snorkeling is like no other !
Fantastic and intimate

Ivan led us on a stunningly personal and thorough tour of the cave and snorkeling. He was warm, courteous, patient, and funny. When my wife experienced some anxiety about tight spaces, he made her feel v comfortable.
Silfra snorkeling
Andrew P, Nov 2019
Lava caving portion was canceled due to weather but was fully refunded. Was disappointed but can't do anything about the weather. The Silfra snorkeling however was awesome & our group leader Adam was super. He was funny & knowledgeable, made sure everyone was suited up & comfortable before going in to the water. Water was very clear for viewing & though cold wasn't too noticeable once in the water since you're suited up heavily. Overall great experience & would highly recommend!
