We had a brilliant time, would highly recommend. Super staff and stunning location.
All the kit was provided, the instructors dressed and checked which felt safe and more importantly kept us warm.
Super clear waters, clean environment. Well controlled and safety team on shore.

Absolutely fantastic!! Gérard was a brilliant guide and very clearly navigated us through the process while making sure we were having a good time and getting to know eachother, despite the overcast weather. The getting into suits was clear and easy in a heated changing van, and our belongings kept safe.
The visibility was impeccable through the water even though it was raining, and Silfra ravine itself just jaw-dropping. We had a decent amount of time in the water and full freedom to drift wherever we wanted along the route, in a small group of 5 so really not crowded at all.
We had such a good time and the suits kept us totally dry. The drysuits kept us really warm, it was only really cold on parts of the face exposed, everything else kept nice and toasty.
What a special trip. Swimming between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Thank you Troll.is & Gérard!! ❤️

Loved every bit of it. The team took the time to explain things and make you feel comfortable. In the end they waited for you and no rushed around.
Great experience and Gerrard was great!!

This was an amazing experience. We went in February and I was expecting to get sick after getting in the 2 degree water but the dry suit and thermals kept us surprisingly warm. The water was only cold on my face and fingers and was not so bad. The staff were great, our guide was Ana and she was so sweet and knowledgeable. It was a great experience.

Excellent adventure. Nice experience of being between two tectonic plates, like touching 2 continent's in the same time. Water is only 2°, but get use to after a while, only small part of the face is uncovered, mouth get numb.
Great guide - Emilio, very helpful with everything.
