Full description
Tour Iceland’s famous Golden Circle on a 9-hour scenic tour, and snorkel in the crystal clear waters of the Silfra Fissure in the heart of Þingvellir National Park. The amazing adventure starts with a picturesque drive to the geothermal area of Geysir, the home of the one and only Geysir, for which all other so-called geysirs are named! Watch as the ground gurgles and bubbles, and super-hot water bursts from the ground with enormous force. Next, stroll down to Gullfoss Waterfall, the undisputed queen of all Iceland’s waterfalls. See the water rushing down two steps of lava layers with breathtaking power and grandeur before driving on-wards to the fascinating site that is Thingvellir National park. Þingvellir is Iceland’s only UNESCO World Heritage sSte, and the original birthplace of the world´s oldest parliament, where the Vikings would sit to make judgements and laws. It’s also the site where the great tectonic plates of America and Europe collide. You will see the continental rift up-close as you snorkel through the crystal clear blue waters of the Silfra Fissure, one of Iceland’s best-kept secrets. Swim in the otherworldly scene and see heavenly shades of blue. Enjoy the sensation of feeling weightless as you float along with the lazy current. Although the water temperature is only about 2 degrees Celsius, the super-warm dry suits you will be provided with make the adventure possible, and perfect!

Such a special experience. It was a beautiful day. The guides were kind, funny, and efficient. It is an ordeal putting on all of the dry suit gear. Very confining but kept me warm. I can understand how some mention feelings of panic or claustrophobia with all of the gear on. I had a minor moment, but felt very safe and eager to follow through with the experience. I’m so happy I did it. The park is beautiful, the geysir is brilliant, and the waterfall is impressive.

the tour was completely organized. I would recommend this tour. Make sure you always provide a good point of contact just incase there are changes during the time of the tour, and do not get upset if you get pick up little late than you expecting, remember there are few tourist that are getting picked up to and some of them cannot make on time, its not the bus driver fault. Please be patient!!

Decided to go for a tour rather than drive ourselves as we wanted to learn more about the golden circle area from our guide. Johan was knowledgeable & had an endless supply of bad jokes. Even he wasn't daft enough to snorkel in silfra in February though! It was definitely an experience. Think I enjoyed it. Won't be doing it again!
