Freedive Silfra Half Day Tour

Posted By : howied808
The guide really did an excellent job with our group, made everyone feel very comfortable and excited! He was a cool guy who enjoyed what he did and had fun stories and info to share. He took lots of great pictures with his ho pro and made it a very special experience. The equipment was clean and high quality. Plus the hot chocolate at the end was delicious.

There are other tour companies, but we had such an amazing time with Freedive Iceland I would gladly book with them again!

After exploring the Thingvellir National Park in the morning, we arrived at the Free Dive van parking area at noon. Our guide/instructor Bjarni, a super friendly, experienced instructor/guide, answered all our questions and helped us with donning our wetsuits. The process was perfect! The suits kept us warm and into the cold fissure we went. It was a beautiful and amazing experience. And we even had extra time to explore some colorful rock fissure areas on our own. A must do experience to round out our Thingvellir National Park visit. Thank you Bjarni and Free Dive.is — Steve & Laura

Silfra is an amazing place. My suit filled with water within a couple of minutes of being in the water, so I wasn't really able to dive like I wanted. I can't remember my tour guide but he was very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.

Amazing experience and would highly recommend. I did the freedive tour in March, even as someone that normally gets cold very quickly I was really warm in the wetsuit, and it was so much nicer to be able to dive down unlike the other groups in drysuits, so definitely do this one if you're a competent swimmer. Bjarni was the perfect guide: made sure I was happy in all the kit, detailed overview of the dive, and whilst in the water had the perfect balance of making sure we were all okay without feeling watched all the time. He also took the time with me afterwards to explain the different freediving qualifications I could do, which I'm really grateful for. Overall, the best experience :)

Such amazing experience. If you want to swim In Silfra definently consider Freediving instead of snorkeling. You get so many more opportunities with freediving.This was so beautiful and the guide was so nice. I was worried it would be really cold, but it wasn’t bad at all. 10/10. Would recommend

Marcello was a great and friendly guide, and a pleasure to converse with. Don't worry about being cold, the wetsuits keep you plenty warm. When you factor in all the rental gear, the time spent in the water, and really cool scenery. The cost is really a bargain, and a great way to spend some time on the way to the hot springs afterwards. I would recommend going through this outfit (Freedive Iceland), and I would gladly do this trip again. I can't really think of anything that I would change to improved it.

We had the most amazing experience on this tour. The company did a great job setting up expectations for arrival. Our instructor/guide was very kind, knowledgeable and patient. Absolutely recommend over the comparable snorkel tours.

Fantastic experience! Stayed surprisingly warm in the wetsuits and really appreciated the freedom of the free diving along with the smaller tour group size. Would do again and will be recommending this to any friends (who are comfortable swimmers) who decide to visit Iceland in the future.

We had booked with another company and when we showed up they had over booked. Marcelo at Freedive was able to take us in his group at the same time we had scheduled with no problem. Super grateful for the experience and this company for taking us! Marcelo is clearly an experienced diver who loves what he does and was an awesome guide. It was an amazing experience.

Went freediving with Marcelo and had a blast. First, I am known for being cold in the warmest temperatures, but their freedive wetsuits fit perfectly and I didn't feel cold at all! Except my lips ofcourse but as soon as I started diving I completely forgot about them.

Marcelo was great with both new and experienced freedivers, explaining technique and keeping an eye whenever I went down deeper. Silfra is also deep enough for some great dives. And the water is stunning. Freediving is definitely the best way to experience it, because you get amazing views from the top and bottom.

At the end the warm coats, heated van, and hot chocolate were perfect for changing and warming up :)

Thanks Marcelo and Birgir!!
