About this activity

This private full-day tour combines Iceland’s Golden Circle highlights with a guided snorkeling experience in Silfra, one of the clearest freshwater fissures in the world. Designed for travelers who value adventure and flexibility, the tour moves at a calm pace with personal attention.

Departing from Reykjavík, you’ll visit Þingvellir National Park, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. Here, you’ll take part in a guided snorkeling tour in Silfra Fissure, wearing a dry suit and led by a certified instructor. The experience is safe, well-paced, and suitable for beginners, with exceptional underwater visibility.

After snorkeling, the journey continues to the Geysir geothermal area to see active hot springs, followed by the powerful Gullfoss waterfall. The day ends at Kerið Crater, known for its red slopes and turquoise lake.

Traveling in a private vehicle with a professional driver-guide, you can adjust timing and enjoy a smooth, personalized experience.
