Short answer: €245 per person is what most people pay. The cheapest we sell is €100 and the most expensive is €2,223. That range comes from 29 real snorkelling & diving tours across 6 operators — live prices, not estimates.
Snorkel or scuba. Silfra snorkelling in a dry suit is the standard price; certified diving is roughly double and needs a dry-suit certificate.
We can put a number on this rather than guess. Across 26 snorkelling & diving tours , the ones you drive to yourself have a middle price of €183, and the ones that collect you from your hotel have a middle price of €282 — 55% more.
If you have a car, meeting on location is the single biggest saving available on this kind of tour. If you are relying on the bus, the difference is what that seat genuinely costs to run — it is not a markup.
Medians across 15 meet-on-location and 11 pickup tours, per person, day tours only.
Cheapest is not always right — a €50 saving hurts less than a wasted day. These are the low-price options we'd still put our name to.

If Silfra snorkelling or diving is the thing you came to Iceland for, pay the middle price rather than the floor — the difference usually buys a smaller group and a guide with time for you. If it's a nice-to-have on a day you're already busy, the cheapest option does the job. Either way, book it for a day early in your trip: if weather cancels it, you'll have another day to try again. Most of these run in Golden Circle, Reykjavík, South Coast, Reykjanes & Blue Lagoon.

No. You pay the operator's own price and we take a commission out of it, so booking here costs the same as booking direct — with one checkout if you book several tours.
On most of these, yes: cancel more than 24 hours before and you get the full amount back. The exact rule belongs to the operator and is shown on each tour page before you pay.
Two to four degrees Celsius, all year. It is glacial meltwater filtered through lava for decades, which is why visibility runs to a hundred metres. You wear a dry suit over a thermal undersuit, so your body stays dry and warm. Your face, lips and hands are the parts that feel it, and after thirty to forty minutes in the water most people are ready to get out. Hot chocolate afterwards is standard.
No, but you must be comfortable in water. The dry suit floats you, so you drift along the fissure with a gentle current doing most of the work. You do need to be able to swim, and operators set minimum age, height and weight limits and ask about medical conditions on a form. Check the tour page for the current limits before booking. Glasses cannot be worn under the mask; contact lenses are fine.
