WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Borgarnes
The first stop of the day is in the lovely village Borgarnes where we will stop for restrooms and you will be able to grab a cup of coffee, drinks, bites or pastries.
2. Ytri Tunga Beach
Here we enjoy the beautiful beach at Ytri Tunga hoping to see seals who are relaxing at the beach.
3. Budakirkja
Búðakirkja is photogenic and unique in its design. The church is an essential photo stop to make when travelling through the Snæfellsnes peninsula.
4. Arnarstapi
Arnarstapi is a small hamlet in Iceland which used to be an important hub for the peninsula's fishing industry. Although the village may be past its prime in terms of economic importance, Arnarstapi stands by a beautiful sea cliff with amazing views of the Faxaflói bay, waterfalls and a diverse ecology and geology. At Arnarstapi you will find the statue of the hamlet's mythical protector Bárður Snæfellsás, of whom an Icelandic Saga was written, a natural arc which you can stand upon and cliffs teeming with life.
5. Djupalonssandur Beach
A site at which an English trawler stranded in 1948, the beach is named after Djúpalón, a lagoon at the bottom of the beach. The site offers an expansive beach, remains of the trawler, viewing platforms and is close to the Snæfellsjökull glacier. Djúpalónssandur is a sandy beach which contains aong other things four lifting stones, but stone lifting has for centuries been a popular sport and pastime in Iceland. The weight sailors could lift determined their share of the catch of the day and you can test your own might with the famous stones of the beach. Their weight ranges from 23 kg / 51 lbs. to 154 kg / 340 lbs. Its time to channel the Viking within you! NOTE: restrooms are free but not services during the winter season.
6. Kirkjufell Mountain
Kirkjufell mountain is one of the most photographed and on of the most famous mountains in Iceland. Its arrowhead shape is a sight to see! We will stop where you can take photos of the mountain with a waterfall in the foreground.
7. Borgarnes
Before we head back to Reykjavík we will stop again in Borgarnes for 20 minutes. Time for restrooms and snacks.

Our tour guide was AMAZING. Elisa was very knowledgeable and kind, she drove safely, and I am so glad that I got to have her as my tour guide for this trip. I was unsure about what the experience in a crowded van would be like, but Elisa made it completely worth it!

Our guide Rebecca was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and passionate about Iceland and how this stunning scenery was formed along with folklore, scientific, nature, geologic and volcanic topics that were so interesting.

Comfy minibus with reclining seats, USB ports and WiFi. A fantastic way to see the peninsula in a day and get some lovely picturesque views and photos. Travelling in early May 2024, the mountain tops still had snow which made for a great contrast to the greens, browns and greys of the landscape. Always bring waterproofs as the weather is so unpredictable!

we had a beautiful tour together with Anastasia through the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Everything went very well, we also recovered some time to make some extra stops that were not planned. The guide was extremely kind, helpful and made us discover different aspects of Iceland that we didn't know. Super recommended!

Anastasia is a good tour guide. She introduced us to many attractions, history and stories of Snæfell Mountain along the way. The seafood soup she took us to lunch was also delicious. Snæfell Peninsula is a beautiful peninsula and worth a visit.

Pretty pretty good! I took so many photos, I like all of them! The tour guide is very friendly and professional. The itinerary is very reasonable. The scenery along the way is very beautiful, with majestic icebergs, exquisite beaches, vast seas and magical natural scenery. The most amazing thing is the stone bridge formed by the erosion of the sea. When I stood on the bridge and looked down, to be honest, my legs were shaking, but I was still shocked by the scenery.

A 12-hour bus trip sounds boring, but this trip was not, and more than worth the cost. The weather was perfect, which always helps! We had a small group which was nice, and the bus was top notch and comfortable. Our bus driver "Hallur" was incredibly knowledgeable about the environment and very interesting personally. We took a hike near a crater, to the waterfall near the amazing view of Mt. Snaefellisnes, walked on a beach with seals, took a walk near the Atlantic Ocean to see rock arch formations. Plenty of breaks along the way. One of the most surprising parts of the visit was going to the brand new Visitor Center at the Snaefellsnes National Park where we had lunch - a 5 star lunch by a local chef, that I would have never expected at a visitor center. We chose fish caught that morning for our lunch and it was perfectly cooked. It was a great day with the right mix of riding, walking and eating!
