Really unique experience and really well run. Vali was an amazing guide, friendly and super informative, he made us feel really comfortable and looked after. The water was amazingly clear and so surreal to snorkel between the tectonic plates. A once in a lifetime opportunity!
This was an incredible experience- our guide was outstanding, the snorkeling was phenomenal (and the water was not as cold as one would expect it to be) and the customer service was by far the best. Hands down the most epic excursion and a must do for anyone visiting Iceland!!
