How do the Silfra snorkeling tours differ?
Same water, same park: the differences are the suit, the extras and how long you swim.
From each tour's page on GetYourGuide, read on 5 November 2026. “Not stated” means its page does not say.
| Suit and time in the water | Included, and on top | |
|---|---|---|
| Troll | Dry suit. 50 min in its itinerary, 30 to 45 on its form. | Photos, hot drink. On top: parking. |
| Arctic Adventures | Dry suit. 45 min on this page, 30 to 35 on its own website. | Photos, park fee, hot drink. Pickup is an option. |
| Adventure Vikings | Dry suit or wetsuit, your choice. Time not stated. | Photos, hot drink. On top: towel and warm clothes are yours to bring. |
| Dive.is | Dry suit. About 45 min. | Park fee, heated van, hot drink. Photos not listed. On top: parking. |
| Diving Island | Dry suit and dry gloves. 25 to 30 min in its text, 45 in its itinerary. | Park fee, hot drink. Photos not listed. On top: parking. |
What should decide your choice?
Your limits first, then how you get there, then the price.
The on-site prices sit within €117 and €139, so the money matters less than whether the operator accepts you. Start with the limits of each operator.
Then the journey. Without a car, the price to compare is the one with transport: from €181, or the pickup option at Arctic Adventures and Dive.is. With a car, add 1,000 ISK for parking where it is not included.

How much does Silfra snorkeling cost?
From €117 at Silfra, from €181 from Reykjavik, from €259 with the Golden Circle.
On site
From €117 to €139 with the five operators here.
Parking
1,000 ISK for a car with five seats or fewer. Troll, Dive.is and Diving Island list it as not included.
Photos
Included at Troll, Arctic Adventures and Adventure Vikings. Dive.is and Diving Island do not list them.
Does every Golden Circle tour with Silfra include the snorkel?
No. Two private Golden Circle tours on GetYourGuide say the snorkel is not in their price, so we left them out.
Do you need to book in advance?
Each tour here limits its group, to 6 at most on site, so popular slots can fill. Every one can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before.
Is pickup worth it?
If you have no car, yes: Silfra is about 60 km from Reykjavik. It adds time: Arctic Adventures' tour goes from 3 to 5.5 hours with it.
Getting thereDry suit or wetsuit?
Most tours here use a dry suit. Adventure Vikings lets you choose a wetsuit, and it is 6 mm thick on its tour from Reykjavik.
What about scuba diving?
Those tours have their own page, because the rules differ.
