Golden Circle & Silfra Fissure Snorkeling Day Tour from Reykjavik

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 Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll snorkel in the crystal‑clear waters of Silfra Fissure. Floating through a natural rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, you’ll experience some of the clearest water on Earth. Snorkeling groups are kept small, with a maximum of 6 guests per guide, ensuring a safe and personal experience, and your guide will take complimentary underwater photos to capture the moment. After Silfra, continue along the Golden Circle by small‑group minibus. Visit the geothermal area home to the famous Geysir, stop at the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, and enjoy a final stop at Kerið volcanic crater before returning to Reykjavík.
