Private 12-Hour Luxury Jeep Tour of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula from Reykjavik

Come along on an exciting sightseeing trip in West Iceland with this super jeep tour of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula from Reykjavik. Travelers who want a laid-back adventure in the comforts of a private excursion and around diverse natural landscapes should look no further than here.

For your convenience, this adventure opens with a pick-up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. You'll meet your expert guide during the pick-up, who doubles as your driver. Then, for the next 12 hours, they will serve as your primary source of information and assistance, telling you trivia, exciting stories, and folklore about the attraction on your itinerary.

The journey takes you northward from the Icelandic capital to explore the Snaefellsnes Peninsula on board an all-terrain super jeep. This vehicle accommodates up to four passengers, making it ideal for couples, small groups, or families.

The first attraction for the day is the Gerduberg cliffs, known for their spectacular hexagonal basalt columns. Seeing the cliffs up close, which stretch for less than half a mile, is an excellent introduction to Iceland's rich geology and volcanism.

Next to visit is a famous landmark and historical site called the Budir black church. The black walls of the church create a perfect contrast against the surrounding lava fields, rugged coastline, and rolling hills, providing a breathtaking panorama for photography.

Two charming fishing villages with beautiful harbors and old houses are close to these sites. The guide will take you through Arnarstapi and Hellnar to admire the stunning coastline, rock arches, and colorful local culture. You'll also learn about the deep history of these settlements back when they were the main hubs for fishing industries.

The itinerary includes stops at Djupalonssandur and Ytri Tunga to take you closer to the coastline and the North Atlantic Ocean. These beaches, although equally beautiful, provide different features and highlights. While Djupalonssandur boasts black volcanic sands and high lava walls, the Ytri Tunga beach is notable for its golden sands and colonies of seals.

As the super jeep circle around the peninsula, your group will have a better view of the Snaefellsjokull glacier. Snaefellsjokull is a glacier-capped stratovolcano towering over West Iceland at 4744 feet (1446 meters).

To end your sightseeing trip on a high note, your last stop for the day is the majestic Kirkjufell mountain. It is one of Iceland's most photographed and iconic landmarks, known for its distinctive shape and stunning natural beauty. Fans of the hit TV show Game of Thrones may recognize Kirkjufell as the "Arrowhead mountain" in one of its episodes.

Although these are the common stops in Snaefellsnes, you can add more attractions with time permitting since this is a private tour. For example, you can request to visit the Shark Museum and Vatnshellir lava cave before returning to Reykjavik.
