Golden Circle, Bruarfoss & Kerid Volcanic Crater - Small Group Day Tour

This 10-hour tour combines the major attractions of the Golden Circle with a guided snorkeling session in the Silfra Fissure.

Join this easy, full-day tour from Reykjavík for a combination of Iceland’s famous geology and a unique aquatic adventure, available all year round.

The day focuses on the essential Golden Circle route. It begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its exposed rift valley and historical significance as the site of Iceland's first parliament. Here, the unique snorkeling experience takes place in the Silfra Fissure, which is filled with exceptionally clear, filtered glacier meltwater, offering visibility over 100 meters. A certified PADI Dive Master provides safety briefings and equips you with a full drysuit, thermal undersuit, and other gear, ensuring warmth and comfort despite the cold water (2°C–4°C). You will literally float between the tectonic continents.

Following the snorkeling activity, the tour continues to the Geysir Geothermal Area to witness the reliable eruptions of the Strokkur geyser, shooting water up to 35 meters high. The final stop is Gullfoss, the "Golden Waterfall," where the powerful glacial river dramatically plunges into a deep canyon.

The tour includes round-trip transportation from Reykjavík, all snorkeling gear, hot chocolate, and complimentary GoPro underwater photos. (Note: Participants must be able to swim, and specific age/health requirements apply for snorkeling.)

This 11-hour day tour combines the classic geological marvels of the Golden Circle with a relaxing visit to the renowned Blue Lagoon geothermal spa (Comfort admission included). Highlights feature the historic Þingvellir National Park (where you stand between two continents), the erupting Strokkur geyser at the Geysir Geothermal Area, and the powerful Gullfoss waterfall. Unlike many other tours, it also includes a stop at the vivid Kerid Volcanic Crater Lake, providing a complete and luxurious sightseeing experience.

Join this easy, all-year-round day trip from Reykjavík for an efficient and comfortable way to see Iceland’s most famous attractions. Transportation is provided via a premium minibus with an experienced guide.

The tour focuses first on the Golden Circle route. You will begin at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site of immense geological and historical importance, where you can walk along the fissure separating the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Next, observe the raw energy of the Geysir Geothermal Area, home to the reliably erupting Strokkur geyser. You will then proceed to the majestic Gullfoss ("Golden Waterfall"), where glacial meltwater plunges dramatically into a deep canyon. This tour also ensures a stop at the uniquely colorful Kerid Volcanic Crater Lake, framed by red rock and aquamarine water.

The final highlight of the day is the world-famous Blue Lagoon (Bláa Lónið). Your admission is included, granting you time to relax and enjoy the therapeutic, mineral-rich milky-blue waters, known for their skin benefits. This tour efficiently pairs the active sightseeing of the Golden Circle with the unparalleled relaxation of the Blue Lagoon. (Please note that the duration is approximately 11 hours, and the tour runs regardless of weather, though itinerary stops may be adjusted for safety.)

This three-day guided minibus tour focuses on exploring Iceland’s key geological attractions and glacier activities, offering a comprehensive winter experience of the Golden Circle and South Coast. The tour operates from Reykjavík and includes two nights' accommodation. This is the only 3 day minibus tour in Iceland with two glacier activities are included, a glacier hike and an ice cave visit.

The tour features Iceland's most significant natural and historical landmarks. You will visit Þingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates visibly pull apart. You will witness the geothermal activity at the Geysir Area, watching the active Strokkur geyser erupt up to 35 meters every five minutes, and see the powerful cascade of Gullfoss Waterfall. The South Coast route includes walks behind Seljalandsfoss and along the 60-meter-high Skógafoss Waterfall, exploration of the basalt columns at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, and a journey to the glacier-fed Jökulsárlón Lagoon and Diamond Beach. The tour includes a supervised glacier hike with essential safety equipment and an opportunity to visit a natural Ice Cave (October–March). At night, your guide will actively monitor the forecast to maximize your chances of seeing the Northern Lights (September–March) from the remote hotel locations.

Embark on a 5-day journey through some of Iceland’s most remarkable landscapes and cultural sites, starting from Reykjavík. Your adventure begins with the Golden Circle, where you explore Þingvellir National Park, the site of Iceland’s first parliament and the meeting point of two tectonic plates. From there, witness the erupting hot springs of Geysir and the cascading Gullfoss waterfall, a classic example of Icelandic geology and natural power.

On the second day, you follow the South Coast, visiting Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls before reaching Reynisfjara, the famous black sand beach with dramatic basalt sea stacks. The day includes a guided glacier hike, providing a close view of Iceland’s icy landscapes with safety equipment supplied.

The third day takes you to the southeast to experience the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and the nearby Diamond Beach, where icebergs drift ashore against the black sand. During winter months, the tour also includes a guided visit to a natural blue ice cave, offering an up-close encounter with one of Iceland’s seasonal geological wonders.

Next, you explore Borgarfjörður in West Iceland, home to waterfalls like Hraunfossar and Barnafoss, the hot spring Deildartunguhver, and the historic village of Reykholt, associated with the medieval scholar Snorri Sturluson.
