In general, the answer is yes. However, it can happen on rare occasions that your Silfra snorkeling guide is not able to take photos because he/she might be busy assisting other snorkelers in the water. Another uncommon reason could be that the camera has a problem. In this unlikely case you will be refunded for the tour photos should you already have purchased them online in advance.

We use top-quality equipment for our Snorkeling and Scuba Diving tours.

The dry suits only do a certain amount of dives/time before they get sold and replaced by new ones.

This ensures that our guests will always dive/snorkel in top-notch dry suits frequently tested, serviced or replaced.

However, it is of high importance to provide us with your correct size (height and weight), so we can make sure to bring the best fit for you. If we receive an incorrect size, the guest will receive an incorrect dry suit fit. We assure you that your size information as well as all other personal information stays confidential with us.

We also want to point out that if you are sensitive to having something tight around your neck and/or wrists you might feel uncomfortable in a dry suit. It goes with the territory to have a well-sealing neoprene neck seal and rubber wrist seals in order to stay dry.

Yes, there are toilet facilities at Silfra. However we kindly ask you to not use them for changing, as there are only 2 toilets at Silfra and it can cause long queues to form. We do have a changing room vehicle, and often several other cars at Silfra for participants to change clothes in. Due to this layout, we highly recommend that participants arrive at Silfra already wearing their thermal base layer.

You are more than welcome to give it a try! Our dry suits, however, are very buoyant and will keep you afloat. Unfortunately, we don't provide weight belts for safety reasons. While some people can manage to free dive in these suits, it's not recommended for most. But if you want to attempt it, please keep in mind that moving around too much and at extreme angles increases the risk of water entering your dry suit through the neck seal.
For those of you who are passionate about freediving, we also offer exciting freedive tours in Silfra, through our trusted partners who specialize in this activity. These tours are conducted in a wetsuit, which allows for freediving.

Unfortunately, we do not offer towels on our tour. You will only get wet on your head and hands, so a towel is not really needed. You are however more than welcome to bring your own, and if you have long hair you might want to bring a towel to dry it after the tour.

The Þingvellir National Park charges a parking fee, which allows you to park in any of the five car parks in the park for the duration of the day. Please note that the parking lot for divers and snorkelers at Silfra is called P5 and is about a 5-minute walk to the Silfra meeting point.
You can pay for parking on CheckIt before or during the day of the visit, and enter the license plate of your car into the system. Cameras check all license plates entering and leaving the parking lots. If you can’t pay online, you can pay at the Visitor center. Pay machines will also be installed at the parking lots in the near future. The pay machines accept all major credit/debit cards.

We have a special Medical Statement that all our participants need to read and sign prior our tour. If you say YES to any of the questions in section 1 we unfortunately can't take you on our tour. If you say YES to any of the questions in section 2 you need a Physicians approval. Our form for the Physicians approval is on the second page of the form Snorkeling Silfra Medical Form
Diving Silfra Medical Form Or you can use our Online Check-In site HERE once you have booked. There you can fill out the electronic
Medical Statement and then all you need to do is sign it at Silfra

Sorry, but we currently don't have prescription masks available. It would be challenging to cater to the different prescriptions that our customers might have. If you wear glasses, we suggest using contact lenses instead, as they fit more comfortably under the mask. However, if you already have a prescription mask, you are more than welcome to use it during the tour.

We use 2 different caves on this tour, depending on the time of year and weather/road conditions. Gjábakkahellir cave in Thingvellir is 360 meters long and Leiðarendi cave in Reykjanes is 880 meters long.

Yes, you can. Birth control prescriptions are the one exception on our medical form questions, that does not need a doctor's signature
