Silfra - Thingvellir - Gullfoss - Geysir

On this tour we will drive the scenic Golden Circle route to the beautiful National Park Thingvellir, the active geothermal area of Geysir, and to Gullfoss, the most photographed waterfall in Iceland. All of these sights are a magnificent display of the power and beauty of nature and shouldn't be missed by any visitor in Iceland.

A diving adventure in the famous Silfra fissure is an unforgettable experience, there is a reason TripAdvisor chose our Snorkeling Tour the No 4 experience in the world!

We can proudly state that DIVE.IS will offer you the best service level at Silfra. Let us tell you why:

We have an extra person at Silfra assisting you before and after the snorkelling experience. We call this person Surface Support and they make sure your tour runs smoothly. They also provide extra safety for you and the guides.
We built our own changing room so that our guests have the opportunity to dress up inside a heated changing van.
After diving in the cold water, we warm you up with hot cocoa and cookies.
Our guides are all experienced PADI divemasters and instructors that have been through professional training before running any of our tours.

Let us tell you a little about the tour! You will be picked up at your hotel in Reykjavik by our trusted partners. This Golden Circle bus tour is guaranteed as a small group experience and your tour guides will be local experts, with great knowledge about the area and able to take questions due to the small size of the group.

You will visit all the sights on the Golden Circle, the most popular ones being the highly active Geysir geothermal area and the Gullfoss waterfall. Other sights include the Kerið crater and the Hveragerði village.

When you get to the Thingvellir national park, the driver will leave you at the viewpoint Hakið where the view is amazing. You will then have the opportunity to take a walk in the historic Thingvellir national park, all the way to Silfra where your diving adventure takes place. The walk is about 20 minutes but you should have more time to explore. You will be provided with a handy map of the area so you will find us with ease.

At Thingvellir we do one dive in Silfra. Silfra is a fissure created by the ripping apart of the tectonic plates along the Mid-Altantic Ridge. On this dive we will see the whole of Silfra: Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral and Silfra Lagoon. Please note that if you do not have the required dry suit diving experience (see below) you are welcome to book this tour as a snorkeler instead.

After a full day we will drive back to Reykjavik to close the Golden Circle and you will surely have no problem falling asleep.

Please note that in order to dive in Silfra you must have dry suit certification or 10 logged dry suit dives within the last two years of tour date and be able to provide written proof from a diving instructor of these dry suit dives.

If you want to share the experience with your friends or family who are not scuba divers, you can combine this tour with non-divers andsnorkelers.

Diving Silfra & Golden Circle Tour

We had an excellent day touring the Golden Circle with DIVE.IS. First off the staff was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Our first stop was to dive Silfra which was super easy due to our expert guides Tania and Mario. They outfitted us and gave clear instructions all while maintaining great humor. The dive alone was fantastic but our guides made the experience even better. Off we went with Rudi to see the waterfall at gullfoss and the geysir in geysir. Rudi was an exceptional tour guide and went to great lengths to entertain our 10 year old son with the amazing Iceland history & sagas the entire time in transit. We would highly recommend this tour group for anyone seeing Iceland especially Rudi, Tania and Mario if you can.
