Your tour starts when you are picked up from the meeting point in Reykjavik. You will meet your expert English-speaking guide and the other guests on the tour.

This excursion is a small group tour with just six guests per guide, so you will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get to know your group.

The tour's first stop is at the Silfra fissure in the Thingvellir National Park, one of the Golden Circle sights, where you can snorkel in some of the clearest waters in the world.

Snorkeling in the Silfra Fissure is a unique experience in Iceland, where you swim between North America's and Eurasia's tectonic plates. The Silfra fissure is famous for its crystal-clear glacial water, offering over 300 feet (100 meters) visibility.

The water, filtered through lava rock, stays at a constant temperature of 35-39°F (2-4°C) year-round. Snorkelers can explore vibrant underwater rock formations and striking shades of blue.

You can choose between wearing a wetsuit or a dry suit. The dry suit ensures you stay warm and buoyant while enjoying this geological wonder.

Next, you can explore Thingvellir National Park more. Thingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its geological, cultural, and historical significance.

It's where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating unique rift valleys and dramatic landscapes. The park is also the birthplace of Althingi, Iceland's parliament, established in 930 AD, making it a cornerstone of the country's history.

Visitors can explore hiking trails and Thingvallavatn, Iceland's largest natural lake. The Thingvellir National Park combines natural beauty with a deep connection to Iceland's heritage, making it a must-visit destination.

You'll also stop at the Geysir geothermal area. The Geysir geothermal area is a hub of geothermal activity and is home to the famous Strokkur geyser.

The Strokkur geyser erupts every 5-10 minutes, shooting water up to 100 feet (30 meters) into the air, providing an impressive natural display. The area features bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and mineral-rich pools, showcasing Iceland's volcanic landscape.

While the Great Geysir, the namesake of all geysers, is dormant primarily, its historical significance adds to the site's appeal. Visitors can enjoy walking paths with clear views of the geothermal features.

The last stop on the Golden Circle sightseeing route is the Gullfoss waterfall. Gullfoss waterfall is a two-tiered cascade plunging into a rugged canyon. Fed by the Hvita river, it offers impressive views and a powerful display of natural force.

A viewing platform provides easy access to this iconic attraction, which showcases Iceland's dramatic landscapes and hydropower potential.

You'll also stop for a late lunch at the Fridheimar tomato farm, where you can enjoy tomato-based dishes like soup, pasta, pizza, homemade bread, and Bloody Marys. You can also meet the charming Icelandic horse here.

At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to the meeting point in Reykjavik.
