5.00Boris was an amazing guide. He educated us on the fissures and tectonic plates and history of parliament. We had a wonderful experience snorkeling as a family, our youngest being 15. Everyone loved it!
Once in a lifetime experience.

5.00Once in a lifetime experience. Accessible for most people. The hardest part is walking back from the end of the swim. The water is stunning and clear and the dry suit does a very good job of keeping you warm. It’s really only your hands and head that feel the cold. It is expensive but very glad I did it.
Great family experience!

5.00This was incredible!!! I’ve been snorkeling in many places, and this was one of my favorites. Instead of seeing fish like you would in other places, you see incredible rock formations. Also, you can literally drink the water you are swimming through - it’s that clean. Running off straight from the glacier. The suit actually does a decent job at keeping you warm, and even though it’s chilly at first, we warmed up fast in the water. Our guide was so much fun, and was great at making sure we were always feeling safe and okay in the water. He also took some great underwater photos and did a fun viking baptism at the end! The tour company was also super responsive and helpful over email & phone when we needed to change our reservation at the last minute. The tour company has been doing this for ages, and they were very well organized at the reef. Common misconception - you can’t actually reach your arms out and touch the Eurasia tectonic plate and North American tectonic plate. The left and right walls of the reef are not the two plates. However, while above the water, you can see the tops of the two plates on each side, further out. Don’t let this stop you from doing this activity though - still so much fun, and you’re still technically swimming in a rift that is between the two plates. It’s just that the rift is quite wide, and the reef is part of it.
10/10 Recommend!!

5.00Our snorkeling experience was absolutely perfect. The guides provided clear instructions, helped us get into our suits, and made the experience memorable. Jana was especially wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, took awesome pictures for us, let us explore, and kept us at ease the entire time. She provided recommendations for things to see after we were done and gave us a special surprise. I would recommend this to anyone willing to be a little cold!

5.00Jana was fabulous! We had excellent step by step directions and assistance on how to suit up and detailed safety instructions to put me at ease. Jana also explained the significant history and the value of the area! She answered all my questions as to what to expect, how to enjoy the experience and how to stay warm. Her friendly smile and experience in the water made the journey so much more enjoyable. Her excitement to point out fish and algae and new fissures forming underwater was so much fun! Thank you Jana for the great photos too!
