We at Freedive Iceland are a friendly activity and adventure day tour, small family-run operator in Iceland. We were established in 2012 as an activity and adventure tour operator company. We started with freedive tours but have been developing into other activities such as snorkeling, scuba and RIB boat tours.
We focus on small groups so you won’t feel like squashed sardines in a box when enjoying Icelandic nature and the activities Iceland has to offer.
The best and only place to dip your toes into Silfra with one breath! - Birgir and his team have a good setup going, with their van as warm room to change and get ready before the dive.
We brought our own suits to Iceland,... read more but used their weights and fins to save some travel luggage and personally I prefer wearing my own suit to make sure everything fits perfect in the icy water.
The way to the fissur is made on foot, crocs provided for easy travel and most importantly - they offer high quality wind-stopper dive ponchos for the walk over to and from the accesspoints, so you stay warm and protected until you get into the water.
Honestly, this was one of our highlights in Iceland - I might be biased because I'm a freediver - but if you are a freediver, this is the place to dive with 😀
Given the nature of this attraction, it was not so crowded and we got some awesome pictures coming up - check them out at @mesapholis and @joel_sharks on insta!
Thanks Iceland Freediving!

Highly recommend Freedive Iceland and the Silfra experience - My sister and I did the freedive at Silfra. It was a great experience. The water was chilly but you wear a 7mm wetsuit which keeps you comfortable. The cold... read more water is only on your face but it is tolerable, you don't feel uncomfortable at all. Silfra is stunning. The water changes from a brownish hue to blue to green and it is clear. And even though there is no sea life, there is much to look at. The guys from Freedive were very helpful in helping us get ready and into properly fitting gear. They were also very entertaining. I highly recommend using them for this experience. My advice to anyone who wants to do this is to figure out how much weight you need to go deeper into the water in a 7mm wetsuit. It will make a big difference being properly weighted and the first meter down takes some effort.

Choose this tour over all the others - We are freedivers so we specially choose this tour - and we are glad we did. Even if you’ve never freedived, go with Freedive Iceland. The wetsuits were warm and... read more seemed so much more comfortable than the drysuits everyone else had on. Plus, we were able to dive down and look around whenever we wanted. Our guide was calm and professional and sent us a link with pics a few days later. It was so great that we almost booked again for later in our trip. It was a highlight of our week in Iceland.

Freediving at 2°C it's just an incredible adventure! - I found this company while booking my tour through DIVE.IS. Freedive Iceland offers an unforgettable experience in the waters of Silfra, between two tectonic plates. Our guide was incredibly kind... read more and attentive, ensuring that the entire group felt comfortable and safe during the freediving session. The location is simply stunning; the water visibility is amazing, allowing you to explore the cracks in a unique way. I highly recommend freediving with them. Fortunately, we had a sunny day, which allowed us to enjoy both the time in the water and walking alongside the tectonic plates at Thingvellir.
