Set out on the ultimate adventure in Iceland with this private Golden Circle and Silfra snorkeling tour from Reykjavik. Travel in comfort with an expert guide and see the most popular attractions of Iceland, capped by an unforgettable Silfra snorkeling tour for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
This private tour offers comfort and exclusivity from start to finish. With seamless travel and carefully planned stops, you can relax knowing every detail is arranged.
Your 9-hour super jeep tour in Iceland begins with pickup at your hotel in Reykjavik. From there, the route takes you through striking volcanic landscapes, coastal vistas, and waterfalls, each stop chosen to showcase Iceland’s natural wonders at their best.
The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO-listed site steeped in history and geology. Walk the same ground where Iceland’s first parliament met in AD 930. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes for exploring uneven paths.
At Thingvellir, you’ll also witness one of the world’s most remarkable geological features, the North Atlantic Ridge. From the viewing platform, stand on the edge of two continents and capture photos of this unique boundary between North America and Eurasia.
The highlight of your adventure is the Silfra snorkeling. Fed by glacier water, Silfra boasts visibility up to 328 feet (100 meters) and ranks among the clearest waters on Earth.
A moderate level of fitness is needed for Silfra snorkeling, and anyone over 60 should bring a health certificate. All snorkeling gear is provided, but bring warm, waterproof layers to stay comfortable before and after the dive.
Your adventure continues at the Geysir Geothermal Area, a bubbling landscape of heat and energy. Here, Strokkur steals the show, erupting with force every few minutes and sending hot water skyward in a sight that leaves visitors in awe.
Next, discover Gullfoss Waterfall, the “Golden Falls” that inspired the Golden Circle’s name. Stand at the edge of the gorge as torrents crash below, golden mist rising around you in a display of raw, unforgettable natural energy.
As you admire its power, your guide may share a remarkable story. In the early 20th century, investors planned a hydroelectric plant, but farmer’s daughter Sigríður Tómasdóttir fought to protect Gullfoss, preserving it for future generations.
At the end of the day, your driver returns you comfortably to Reykjavik on board the super jeep. Reflect on memories of standing between tectonic plates, watching geysers erupt, marveling at Gullfoss, and snorkeling in Silfra’s pure waters, a rare combination of Icelandic experiences.
