Amazing snorkeling adventure with Dori! - Our family enjoys water adventures and I have to say this was my favorite experience thus far. The Silfra was absolutely beautiful, and the water was clear and delicious. However I believe that having Dori as our guide is truly what made the experience. She was kind, helpful, informative, patient, compassionate and down right hilarious. I wish Dori could come with us everywhere! Her dedication to our safety was noticed and very appreciated. Her commitment to all of us having a good time resulted in just that.

Thank you, it was amazing! - Dory was amazing. At first I was really scared, but she made us feel calm, happy and excited for the experience. She told us everything about the place and answered all of our questions with a smile on her face. She was even talking with us and making jokes after the tour ended! Thank you for the amazing experience, and I wish you all the best, Anežka/Anna

Kevin is awesome - KEVIN our tour guide was great! Very knowledgeable, clearly experienced and patient! He went above and beyond to help us get our gear on, double checked us for safety and took lots of photos for us. Glad he did because I surely couldn’t with the dry suit gloves on. It was nice we could keep our layers on under the dry suit and we had zero leaks at all! Your face/hair/hands get wet. Kevin helped us out of the water and even made us hot chocolate. Everyone should be more like Kevin. Enjoy your trip to CA Kevin! 🍻🍻🍻🍻
