Discover the western region of Iceland - the magical Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
An exceptional place where you can explore the moss-cloaked lava fields, spectacular mountains, black sand beaches, charming little fishing villages, and sea cliffs!

The entire trip was like a trip to another world. The sites selected for us to visit were amazing. Our driver, Dominica, selected a special spot for lunch - Matalist- it was amazing food. We did have an issue that was readily handled - I would recommend the buses are loaded with blankets for emergencies

Our group of 10 friends took a private tour of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in a very comfortable coach. The sites, including two types of seals, dramatic sea cliffs and rock formations, rough oceans, black sand beaches and glacial falls, were spectacular. Our guide, Rebecca, was over-the-top awesome. She provided geological, historical, and saga-based context for everything we were seeing. She also was responsive/adaptable to the differing abilities of the individuals in our group. We were there in March, and the weather went from a little sun, to rain, to ice pellets, snow and an almost total whiteout; but our guide got us safely through the various changes in the environment. Overall a great experience! I feel that having a great guide makes all the difference in these types of excursion.

The views are very beautiful! The sun was just setting at the horizon and therefore the lights were beautiful as we were driving through the snowy landscapes. The stops were beautiful as well and differed from their landscapes. I did not mind the driving between the stops, the landscapes looked beautiful in between and it was worth seeing the important things on the peninsula. Aron was a great guide, he took a cool photo at the Arnarstapi stop. I booked this tour with the 3-day Bucket List Iceland Tour package. We got picked up by an expedition bus, which is great, because the bus is not too big and the group therefore relatively small. It would have been great though, if Arctic Adventures could provide a more specific pick-up time, if possible.

Guide (Domenica's driving and patter were excellent). Was lucky enough to have stunning weather. Locations were relevant; interesting and sometimes inspiring. Interim landscapes / features pointed out were good. Winter so not so much wildlife around but fulmars were good and probable arctic fox tracks in one area. Am an Iceland Guide myself so was hoping for something good and have 'stolen' some ideas! :)

The Snaefellsness Peninsula tour is a must-see. I visited during winter and explored Ytri Tunga beach, the charming Búðakirkja, the stunning Arnarstapi cliffs, and Djupalonssandur beach, where I was fortunate to witness two graceful seals swimming in the sea. The landscape is truly incredible and evocative. I highly recommend this day trip with Arctic Adventure!

We are currently in Reykjavík. This tour was booked for today. 30 minutes after we should’ve been picked up, they cancelled the tour without explanation. This left us with no time to book another tour. Totally unacceptable service. We have had an entire day of our holiday wasted. They do not even refund your money automatically. I have had to request a refund, which may take up to 15 days.
I would recommend booking your excursions with a different operator.

We had an amazing day with Carlos, who was an attentive, engaging and interesting guide who couldn't have been more helpful. Advised us upfront about the long periods to be spent in the (very comfortable) minibus, and told us how long before toilets would be available, when to buy food etc.
This was probably longer than I would ideally have liked to spend driving, not least as we had our 11 and 15 year old kids with us, but wifi on board did help! Having said that, was amazing to see a less-travelled side to Iceland.
Saw some amazing sights, from black beaches to volcanoes, glaciers to huge cliffs with nesting birds, and for the most part the weather cooperated too.
It would have been useful to know ahead of time how limited food options would be, as we could have packed more snacks/lunch with us rather than having to make do from a gas station, but that's a minor detail.
Highly recommend this tour, and Carlos is an asset

Andre was AMAZING!!!! he has such a positive/bubbly attitude, made the best of rainy/windy weather, added fun and interesting stops, and gave cool facts the whole time! He went the extra mile by making our tour special despite poor weather conditions!

Our guide was very nice and funny, the weather and people of the minibus were so nice. Beautiful day trip, we've seen the main spots. The compagny is serious.
Just a little bother, we didn't have enough time spend on the differents spots. For the one who can, it must be better to spend two 2 days
