Our company policy is that all participants must be able to communicate in English as that is the working language of our guides. We are happy to accept a non-English speaker, as long as they have an English speaker with them who can translate for them. This must be at a ratio of no more than 2 people to a translator. The translator must participate in the in-water activity. If this is not possible, you may contact us and ask, as we do have very multi-lingual guides and are happy to discuss the possibility of a private tour (at additional cost), but it cannot be guaranteed.

It is about 60 km from Reykjavik to Silfra and it takes a little less than one hour to drive the distance by car, given the weather conditions are good. If you choose to drive to Silfra yourself and don‘t know the way, we recommend you to study the map before you hit the road. Silfra is located in Þingvellir National Park, which is a bit different from other national parks. At a point, when you turn into road 36, you will feel like you are driving into the middle of nowhere. Please do not turn around, just keep going straight until you see our company cars which are parked at the Silfra Meeting Point, you then drive a little further to parking lot P5 to park. If at anytime you feel lost please do not hesitate to call our office for help.

The minimum age to snorkel Silfra is 12 years old and you have to be at least 150cm and 45kg. The Snorkeling Silfra day tour is a family activity that can be enjoyed by all participants over 12 years old.
