Overview

Snorkel between two continents and explore Iceland’s most famous sights on this unforgettable day trip from Reykjavík.
After pickup from Reykjavík, the adventure begins at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll snorkel in the crystal‑clear waters of Silfra Fissure. Floating through this natural rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, you’ll experience some of the clearest water on Earth with incredible underwater visibility.
After your Silfra experience, continue along the Golden Circle by small-group minibus. Visit the geothermal valley of Haukadalur, home to the famous Geysir hot spring, before stopping at the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders.
Before returning to Reykjavík, enjoy a stop at Kerið volcanic crater, where vivid red rock contrasts with the striking blue crater lake below.

  • Here is where you will float through the aquatic world of Silfra, the meeting point of two continents. With the cool glacier filtered water the rift offers exceptional visibility that extends to such distances it feels that you are suspended in the air above the deep crack of Silfra. There are four main sections that you will pass through; Silfra Deep Crack, Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral and Silfra Lagoon. Experiencing these first hand is the only true way to witness the breathtaking beauty.
  • Thingvellir National Park
    We make our way to Þingvellir National park, where the diving site Silfra is located. On UNESCO's world heritage list for its unique geological features you will be sure to be awed by the beauty of the place. The only place where the Atlantic oceanic rift is visible above water, the location of the world's oldest parliament and home to stunning natural wonders.
  • Gullfoss Falls
    Gullfoss waterfall is one of Iceland's most iconic natural wonders. Located in the Hvítá River canyon, this magnificent cascade plunges in two dramatic tiers into a deep gorge. Often accompanied by ethereal mists and rainbows on sunny days, Gullfoss captivates visitors with its raw power and beauty—a must-see stop on any journey through Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes.
  • Geysir
    Geysir is the legendary geothermal area in Iceland's Haukadalur Valley that inspired the name for geysers around the world. Although the original Geysir now erupts less frequently, its dramatic past and the surrounding bubbling hot springs and steaming vents continue to showcase the raw power of nature’s geothermal forces.
