About this experience

Discover the majestic Snæfellsnes Peninsula, known as "Little Iceland," on a private full-day tour filled with spectacular landscapes and unforgettable experiences. This tour takes you through volcanoes, glaciers, black sand beaches, charming fishing villages, and stunning cliffs. 

The adventure begins with pick-up at your accommodation in Reykjavík, from where you'll head towards the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. As this is a private tour, you’ll have complete flexibility to tailor the itinerary to your interests and enjoy the journey at your own pace.

The first stop is Ytri-Tunga, a beach famous for its seal colony, where you can observe these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. Next, you'll visit the picturesque fishing villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar. In Arnarstapi, you'll walk along basalt cliffs, marveling at unique rock formations and abundant birdlife. In Hellnar, you'll soak in the tranquility and breathtaking scenery.

After that, you'll explore Djúpalónssandur Beach, a black sand beach rich in Viking history. Discover lava formations and test your strength with the lifting stones used by the Vikings.

Next, you'll reach the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain and Kirkjufellfoss Waterfall, two of Iceland's most photographed locations. With Kirkjufell as a backdrop, this waterfall offers one of the country's most iconic views, perfect for photography enthusiasts.

Venturing into Snæfellsjökull National Park, home to the famous glacier volcano that inspired Jules Verne’s "Journey to the Center of the Earth," you'll have the chance to explore one of the region's lava caves, marveling at its unique geological formations and learning about its volcanic history.

Before returning to Reykjavík, you'll visit the fishing villages of Grundarfjörður and Ólafsvík, offering a fascinating glimpse into life on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

The tour concludes with your return to Reykjavík in the afternoon. This private excursion combines stunning natural landscapes, history, culture, and gastronomy, creating an exclusive and unforgettable experience for any visitor to Iceland.
