Description
Explore the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in West Iceland on this private super jeep tour from Reykjavik. It suits travelers who want a relaxed day in a private vehicle and a wide variety of landscapes.
The tour starts with pickup at your accommodation in Reykjavik, where you meet your guide, who is also your driver. Over the next 12 hours, your guide tells you stories, facts, and folklore about the places you visit.
You head north from Reykjavik to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in an all-terrain super jeep, a private vehicle that suits couples, small groups, and families.
One of the stops is Ytri Tunga Beach, known for its golden sand and its colonies of seals.
Next, you visit Budir Black Church, a well-known landmark and historic site. Its black walls stand out against the surrounding lava field, coastline, and hills.
Close by are two fishing villages with harbors and old houses. Your guide takes you through Arnarstapi and Hellnar to see the coastline and rock arches, and tells you about the history of these villages, once centers of the fishing industry.
The itinerary also includes a stop at Djupalonssandur Beach, with its black pebbles and high lava walls, close to the North Atlantic Ocean.
As your super jeep circles the peninsula, you get views of Snaefellsjokull Glacier, a glacier-capped stratovolcano that rises 4,744 feet (1,446 meters) over West Iceland.
Your last stop of the day is Kirkjufell Mountain, one of the most recognizable landmarks in Iceland because of its distinctive shape. Fans of Game of Thrones may recognize it as the "Arrowhead Mountain" from the series.
Since this is a private tour, you can add more stops if time allows. For example, you can ask to visit the Shark Museum or take a tour of Vatnshellir Lava Cave, at your own expense, before returning to Reykjavik.
