Guided Day tour?

At 8 am, your guide will pick you up from your chosen bus stop or hotel for your adventure day in Iceland. On the way to your first destination, you will pass by some beautiful mountains and a highly geothermal area. After leaving the Capital Region, you will make your way to the first stop of the tour – the mighty Seljalandsfoss waterfall.

Welcome to a tour that will give you an introduction to Iceland, its volcanoes and its history. A place where most professional photographers go to – is Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a place that was extremely volcanically active 15 to 7 million years ago. This incredibly unique location with some of the most iconic places in the world will welcome you with majestic waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes, and hot springs. Snæfellsnes is becoming the most filmed location in Iceland for Hollywood movies – such as Game of Thrones, Captain America, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

Get ready for this exciting 10-hour unforgettable adventure to one of Iceland's most beautiful and legendary places. A tour perfect for individuals who wish to explore our extremely beautiful island in 1 full day.

On the morning of your tour, we will pick you up from your chosen bus stop or hotel in Reykjavík. We will then start our unforgettable adventure towards Snæfellsnes.

As we travel to the north, we will see mountains that were not previously there but had been recently created – after hundreds of volcanoes erupted in the area. When lava cools down, it sometimes creates extremely spectacular things to nature.

Embark on an unforgettable 13-hour small group adventure into the remote highlands of Iceland. Travel in comfort and style aboard a specially modified elevated mountain truck, ideal for navigating the rugged terrain. This guided tour departs from and returns to Reykjavík, with pick-up and drop-off included.

Explore the surreal beauty of Landmannalaugar, where rainbow-colored rhyolite mountains and vast lava fields stretch across the horizon. Feel the thunder of Háifoss, one of Iceland’s tallest waterfalls, as it plunges dramatically into the canyon below. Discover lesser-known treasures like the twin falls of Hjálparfoss and the mesmerizing Hnausapollur Volcanic Crater, filled with sapphire-blue waters.

While a guided hike is not included, you’ll have ample free time to explore the surrounding trails at your own pace and enjoy the spectacular scenery. You can also dip into Landmannalaugar’s natural geothermal pool — a warm, mineral-rich oasis in the heart of nature.

This tour is limited to a maximum of 18 participants, ensuring a more intimate and personalized experience in Iceland’s most captivating landscapes.

Then it’s onward to Háifoss, plunging 122 meters into a canyon surrounded by steep cliffs. The nearby Granni waterfall adds to the dramatic atmosphere, showcasing the wild power of Icelandic nature.

Next, visit the striking Hnausapollur (Bláhylur) Crater Lake, where vivid red volcanic slopes surround calm, blue waters — a favorite for photographers and geology lovers alike.

As you journey deeper into the highlands, you'll arrive in Landmannalaugar, a geothermal paradise known for its multicolored rhyolite mountains, steaming hot springs, and vast lava fields.

The Silfra Fissure is located in Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Once our minibus arrives there, you will listen as your experienced certified PADI Dive Master provides a safety briefing. Then, you will receive all of the necessary equipment for snorkeling in Silfra, including neoprene hoods and gloves, a thermal undersuit, a drysuit, and of course mask, snorkel and fins. This equipment will keep you floating throughout your time in the fissure, as well as offering a protection against the cold glacier water. Once in the water, your eyes will meet the incredible shades of blue so prevalent in the fissure, as well as the natural underwater flora of canyon walls.

As you are swimming you will have the opportunity to move across continents, as you will be swimming between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which is one of Thingvellir’s most famous characteristics. You will meet Silfra Hall, which is the widest section on the fissure and then the majestic Silfra Cathedral, its deepest section. Even more, the stunning shallow oasis will be presented before your eyes at the end, “the Real Blue Lagoon”.

Upon exiting the water, you’ll be invited to warm up with hot chocolate with your friendly guide. After the tour is over you will receive the free GoPro underwater photos in your email.

Silfra Fissure is located in the Thingvellir National Park – around 50 minutes away from Reykjavik.

We will pick you up at your designated bus stop and drive you straight to Silfra. On the way you will see some of Iceland's beautiful nature.

Once we get to the location, it is important to give your snorkeling guide a filled medical form (it is extremely important to read the medical form before booking the tour). Your guide will then give you all the equipment – a thermal undersuit to keep you warm, a dry suit to keep you dry, fins to swim, and other necessary snorkeling equipment.

Once you get warm and ready, your guide will teach you how to snorkel, what to do if you get tired in the water, and other important information.

You can leave all your clothes and other items in our Tröll bags, which are kept securely at all times. You will then start walking towards Silfra with your dry suit on. The walk to Silfra is short, roughly 5 minutes long.

Afterwards just jump into the crystal clear water, and enjoy one of the most beautiful places on earth!

Information about Silfra

Earth is divided with underground tectonic plates. Iceland is situated right in the middle of the two of them – North American and Eurasian Tectonic Plates. Silfra Fissure is one of the places in Iceland where you can see where the tectonic plates have slowly been separating – yet not on land, but under water. 

In this magical place, the water is considered to be one of the cleanest waters in the world, with a visibility of more than 100 meters. This incredibly clean water comes from the melted ice of Langjökull glacier.

Join us on an adventure in Silfra – the only place in the world where you can snorkel in the middle of two tectonic plates.

During the activity, you will be swimming between two tectonic plates. Your guide will eventually send you all the GoPro photos after the tour.

The small group Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon day tour is the ultimate treat, as it covers the most iconic attractions in Iceland, with an admission ticket to the world-famous geothermal spa, the Blue Lagoon. Hop on our fully-equipped, premium minibus, led by one of our experienced driver guides, we are going on an exciting day trip to see the most beautiful scenery Iceland has to offer, starting with the major highlights on the Golden Circle Route.

Iceland is special because of places like Thingvellir National Park, a historic and geological location that is also a UNESCO world heritage site. Alþingi, the first parliament in the world was established here in 930 AD. One of the most unique experiences Thingvellir has to offer is the opportunity to see and walk between two continents.

Another highlight is the Geysir Geothermal Area, as geothermal powers are especially active in this region propelling steamy hot springs up to the sky.

We will also stop by the mighty Gullfoss waterfall, a unique, beautiful fall that attracts admirers from all over the world.

Unlike many other Golden Circle tours, we also include a stop at Kerið volcanic crater lake, created by where we can see the striking contrasts between maroon, black, and mossy green colors down the slope, and turquoise water filled the crater. 

Perhaps the highlight of the day is getting to enjoy the therapeutic geothermal water at the Blue Lagoon, the world renowned hot-spring spa.
