Golden Circle & Snorkeling Tour in Iceland

Join our Golden Circle & Snorkeling Tour for a perfect combination of adventure and sightseeing. Starting with a convenient 9:00 AM pick-up in Reykjavik city center, this full-day experience lets you explore Iceland’s top attractions while enjoying the rare chance to snorkel in the world-famous Silfra fissure.

Snorkeling in Silfra Fissure

The highlight of the Golden Circle snorkeling tour is your underwater adventure in Silfra, Thingvellir National Park. Float between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in crystal-clear glacier meltwater, naturally filtered through volcanic lava for over 50 years. With visibility of over 100 meters, Silfra is one of the best snorkeling sites in the world.

Explore its four sections—Silfra Deep Crack, Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral, and Silfra Lagoon—and admire the dazzling shades of blue and green. Our professional guides ensure your comfort and capture stunning underwater photos so you can treasure the experience.

Thingvellir National Park

After snorkeling, discover Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk along dramatic rift valleys and learn about Iceland’s unique geology and history where the tectonic plates drift apart.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Next, visit Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. This two-tiered cascade thunders into a canyon, creating mist and rainbows on sunny days.

Geysir Geothermal Area

The tour ends at the Geysir geothermal area, home to the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes with boiling water and steam—a thrilling natural spectacle.
