Silfra - Thingvellir - Gullfoss - Geysir

On this tour we will pick you up from your hotel and drive the scenic 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.

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 and snorkelers. Ask us!

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.
