Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hedinn is a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. His equipment is top of the line and we felt more comfortable than I thought possible in the glacier fed water. He shared information about the surrounding area that we did not know and provided a unique experience that we recommend to everyone. Ask him about free diving! Thanks Hedinn!

Amazing experience! Price was extremely worth it, Hedinn’s equipment is top notch my body did not feel the cold at all, he even has dry suit gloves which a lot of the other tour groups did not have so our fingers stayed really warm. It was also a really small group of just me and my friend so it felt really nice and got to know all about Silfra. Hedinn was also a great guide and native to Iceland so we got to learn a lot from him. Would recommend this excursion to anyone!

We had an absolutely fantastic day snorkeling with Diving Island (Hedinn)! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and fun.

First off, the explanations about the snorkeling site, its geography, and the fascinating background were super clear — you could tell this guy really knows his stuff! Every little detail was thoughtfully covered, making us feel safe and excited to jump into the water.

When it came to getting suited up, he was incredibly patient and attentive. He helped us into our dry suits with such care, making sure everything fit perfectly. And the equipment? Top-notch! I was seriously impressed — I stayed warm the whole time, and also thanks to the diving gloves that, as far as I know, he is the only one offered it. No water seeped into my suit, keeping my hands cozy while I explored

One of the best parts was how he took photos of us while we snorkeled! No need to fumble with cameras — just enjoy the experience, and before you know it, the pictures are in your inbox.

Oh, and the cherry on top? When we got out, we were treated to some hot chocolate and biscuits to warm us right up. It was the perfect ending to a brilliant adventure.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun, safe, and memorable snorkeling trip!

Héðinn is very knowledgeable, you can also see his passion for diving and his love of Iceland. During the prep time, he helped everyone with dressing dry suit properly, after that, he explained the history of Silfra and touched on some parts of Iceland's history.

The Diving Island team prepared dry suits for everyone as well as dry gloves (with attachment ring, see photo of the blue dry gloves) and liner, the whole set provides very good insulation and this is the only team I have ever seen that provides the whole set equipment in Iceland, Diving Island team does a great job!
Inside the dry suit, I wore only one layer of thermal, the set kept me dry the whole time and I didn't feel cold from my body.

What we saw under the water, it was amazing! The visibility can be over 100 meters, I had a crystal view and the blue color just made me feel everything is so surreal, floating between the Eurasian and American continents was fantastic! Héðinn checked everyone's condition, provided guidance and took pictures while we were enjoying the view. The water is around 4°C year round, which means we can also explore the beauty of Silfra in the winter time :)

Definitely recommended join the tour with Héðinn! You can find his van with the license plate 'Diving'!

Excellent diving at Silfra and definte must do in iceland. Originally we booked with Arxxx Advectures, but they moved our appointment last minite (like 12 hr) before the start time. That totally screwed our schedule. Thank God we found diving island, and Héðinn was able to booked us right away for our amazing dive.

As a scuba instructor myself, diving island provided an excellent scuba tour and also provided lots of great information about the dive site. It is safe and fun with the small group (just me and my huaband) and the guide even took a lot of amazing photos of us with his go pro and shared via Google drive afterwards. This allows us to focus on the amazing experience. The equipment is also in very good condition and the dry gloves in the dry suit definitely made this experience great for me (who tend to get really cold in water fast). They even provide delicious cookies and hot cocoa post dive. Overall we highly recommend this experience with Diving Island. I would also personally recommend people to book directly with a diving company like diving island instead of through a third party that subcontract with dive company.

The snorkeling experience with Hedinn was absolutely phenomenal. Hedinn is very cheerful, funny, and knowledgeable about many things around the park, snorkeling, and even iceland and food. Hedinn didn't hesitate to answer any non-airbnb experience questions (like general icelandic tour and food questions). Moreover with such a private group, the experience felt so much personal and unique. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is ready for something unexpected. All these pictures and videos cannot describe fully what is under the water. Above all, the hospitality that Hedinn offers in this experience is definitely unforgettable. We also got hot chocolate and extra gloves while other tour groups didn't ;) I wish to return next time maybe during the summer. Thank you so much Hedinn. This was an unforgettable experience.

Absolutely amazing experience! Hedinn was a fantastic guide and I loved the stories he told about growing up in Iceland. I am so glad we booked with him as the group was much smaller than the others we saw making it a much more personal experience. And if your worried about being cold don't be! That dry suit keeps you very warm! Overall I loved this experience and highly recommend it won't Diving Island for anyone wanting to do it!

What an amazing experience! I’ve been snorkeling many places but this was such a unique experience. The dry suits provided insured we stayed nice and warm despite the water being 3°c and it snowing on and off that day. I cannot stop talking about this experience and would 100% book again. Hedinn (I probably spelled that wrong) was full of stories and information and he laughed at my jokes all while being a total professional and making sure we felt comfortable. An all around great guy and guide. 10 stars!

What an absolutely incredible experience. It all started with our incredible guide. Héðinn made the experience very fun, engaging, and personable. As someone raised in Iceland he was also able to connect with us on our vacation journey (and even sharing insider insights). Our snorkeling group was small, fun, and very personable. We all enjoyed great conversation prior to the snorkeling and then continued in great conversation with our then shared experience afterward. The gear was a perfect fit for all of us and made the whole journey through the water very comfortable (and warm). Héðinn never rushed us along, encouraging us to take our time and enjoy the experience. He walked us through our route and highlighted things we should look for. Once we were finished, he provided us with hot chocolate and cookies as we each shared what we loved most. This is an experience we will never forget. As my daughter put it: "That was the best part of our entire trip."
