Discover the Spectacular Snaefellsnes Peninsula on this day tour across the part of Iceland that inspired Jules Vernes for his famous novel “Journey to the center of the Earth”.

During this amazing adventure, you will get to see the 4 000 years old Berserkjahraun lava field and listen to your knowledgeable guide to give you some stories about this place. Be amazed by one of the most photographed places of Iceland, Kirkjufell mountain and its waterfall that has been seen in the famous TV series show Game of Thrones.

You will have the opportunity to go to the top of an old volcanic crater and have a panoramic view of the area and the glacier. Then, we will stop by Djupalonssandur, a magnificent black sand beach, and in Arnarstapi, a lovely and picturesque fishing village full of history. Finally, if you are lucky, you will get the chance to see seals relaxing on Ytri-Tunga beach.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
The first stop is Berserkjahraun lava field. It was created around 4.000 years ago after the three surrounding volcanos erupted shortly after each other. The name also comes from an exciting story back from the Viking age. Your guide will tell you all about it and he'll show you the way to a secret and hidden waterfall.
2. Kirkjufell Mountain
The most photographed mountain in Iceland is next on our list. You probably noticed it on the TV show "Game of Thrones". It is surrounded by a beautiful waterfall. You'll get enough time to stroll around the walking paths to explore the area.
3. Saxholl Crater
Countless volcanic craters can be seen during the drive. Now it's time to set foot on one of the dormant craters on the peninsula. Saxhóll was created around 3.000 years ago and it is 100m high. A staircase makes the walk to the top very easy and the reward is a brilliant view over the surrounding lava fields.
4. Djupalonssandur Beach
Iceland is known for its black sand beaches. Djúpalónssandur is one of them and this place will definitely amaze you. Back in the day, a harbor for fishing boats could be found here and all the fishermen had to prove their strength beforehand. In order to do that, they had to lift stones of different weights. Only the strongest were able to secure a spot on one of the boats. The stones still can be found on the beach and you will have a chance to test your own strength.
5. Arnarstapi
The next stop will be in Arnastapi, a beautiful and charming fishing village. During the time, powerful waves eroded the cliffs and left the stunning rock formations behind that can be seen today. Also, a sculpture of Bárður Snæfellsás, the guardian of the Penninsula, can be found here.
6. Budakirkja
The church was build in 1703. After the Danish king decided to dismiss the church in 1819, several residents fought for the reclamation and in 1849 they got the allowance to build a new chapel. A woman named Steinunn saved some of the old artefacts and, thanks to her, we can still see them today.
7. Ytri Tunga Beach
We are already on our way to Reykjavik, but we will have one last stop at a beautiful golden-colored beach. Huge seal colonies can be found at this beach during the whole year and your guide will lead you to the place where you can find them.

The trip was amazing. Even though the weather was all over the place, I still got to see the main locations in sun. And it is stunning.
The guide is very fun to spend a day with and very knowledgeable.
Would say it is a must visit area.

Absolutely amazing tour. I can definitely say this was my favorite from all the tours I did here in Iceland. From the beautiful locations and views to the friendly and highly educated tour guiding from oli, even bringing us to some of his secret locations ouside of the planned destinations. Everything about the trip was an amazing experience with lifelong memories i will happily look back on.

We did many different tours since we came to Iceland, but this was hands down the best one! Small group, a lot of amazing spots to see, and the most fun guide to be around- Oli :) He even did a few bonus stops for us to see the cave and the crater. What I liked the most that it was not a typical touristy tour, it was more like a cool day full of activities with a local, so we’ve got a feeling we really got to know Iceland and all of its beauties a bit better. What a day!

Amazing tour of such a beautiful portion of Iceland! AJ was so knowledgeable about the culture, landscape and history of Iceland. The stops were spectacular. Such a diversity from other parts of Iceland. You cannot miss this part of Iceland. The beaches, the lava fields, the craters, and the falls; words cannot describe the beauty and mystery. You have to see for yourself. Ask to have AJ. So much fun, kind and considerate to everyone. A beautiful day all around.

Amazing trip, highly recommended it. It was the best trip we went on in Iceland (and that is saying quite a lot as the other tours were brilliant too). The tour guide Devin was very knowledgeable and funny about Iceland and its history. A super guide! Great playing too. More facts about moss please :)
