Snorkeling in Sept

Great unique experience with helpful interesting guides. Tony was our guide and he was great, with lots of good information. We had a nice small group of 6 of us and it was perfect.

Oh Yes! I Snorkeled in Iceland!

Do this! It was an incredible experience- one you won’t find anywhere else! Elsa was fabulous and so funny! She made us feel safe and confident. The views were stunning, the gear well maintained, the staff helpful and the experience? Once in a lifetime!

What an amazing experience!

It’s definitely cold, but not shockingly so. Wear something form fitting under the dry suit and heavy socks and you’ll be fine.
