  • Pick Up from Reykjavík

    Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Reykjavík. Sit back and relax as you begin your scenic drive toward Thingvellir National Park, the first stop on your adventure.

  • Snorkeling in Silfra Fissure

    Dive into one of the world’s most remarkable snorkeling sites — the Silfra Fissure, where you can literally swim between two continents!
    Guided by a certified PADI Divemaster, you’ll be provided with all the necessary equipment including a dry suit, thermal underlayer, mask, and fins. The water here is glacially pure, filtered for decades through volcanic rock, offering visibility up to 100 meters.
    After your dive, enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and cookies to warm up before continuing the journey.

  • Thingvellir National Park

    A UNESCO World Heritage Site known as Thingvellir National Park serves  as the starting point of the tour. Here, among the magnificent setting  of Iceland’s historic parliamentary grounds, travellers have the  singular opportunity to wander between the North American and Eurasian  tectonic plates.

  • Geysir Geothermal Area

    The tour continues to the well-known Geysir geothermal area, where the  sheer power of the Earth is on full display. It is nothing short of amazing to see the Strokkur geyser erupt spectacularly, blasting jets of  hot water and steam into the sky. Enjoy some free time here for lunch (self-paid) at the nearby restaurant or café before exploring the bubbling hot springs and steaming vents.

  • Gullfoss Waterfall

    On this incredible adventure, Gullfoss, or the “Golden Waterfall,” is  the next stop. Here, the Hvtá River makes a dramatic descent into a  rough canyon that is frequently decorated with colourful rainbows,  producing a scene of utter strength and magnificence.

  • Kerid Crater

    End your day at the striking Kerid Crater, a volcanic caldera filled with vivid blue-green water surrounded by red lava rocks. Take a short walk around the rim or descend to the crater lake for breathtaking views before heading back to Reykjavík.

  • Evening – Return to Reykjavík

    After a full day of adventure and discovery, you’ll be comfortably driven back to Reykjavík with lasting memories of Iceland’s “Golden” and “Blue” wonders.
