Description

Explore the captivating landscapes of Iceland's Snaefellsnes peninsula on this 10-hour private tour from Reykjavik. This guided tour is ideal for families, small groups, couples, or solo travelers who want to uncover the beauty of Iceland with extra privacy and flexibility.

This day tour begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Reykjavik. From the moment your guide arrives, you'll be able to relax and enjoy the scenic drive as you leave the city behind and venture into the breathtaking countryside. 

One of the greatest benefits of this private tour is the personalized experience it provides. With a dedicated guide and a private vehicle, you can explore at your own pace, avoiding large crowds and tourist buses. 

Whether you want to spend more time at a certain location or take spontaneous photo stops, the tour is designed to meet your needs.

The Snaefellsnes peninsula, your destination for the day, is a stunning region with dramatic landscapes and rich history. It's a great place to explore for those with limited time but still want to see diverse natural features and cultural sites.

One of the tour's highlights is the Snaefellsjokull National Park, where you'll marvel at the towering Snaefellsjokull glacier. Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" imagined this glacier as the entry point to the Earth's core, making it a site steeped in both natural wonder and mythological intrigue.

Whether you believe in its mystical powers or simply admire its beauty, this glacier is a captivating sight surrounded by lava fields and rugged terrain.

Another top destination in the itinerary is Kirkjufell, one of Iceland's most photographed mountains. What makes Kirkjufell unique is its arrowhead or church steeple shape, rising sharply from the surrounding landscape. Nearby, the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall provides a picturesque foreground for stunning photographs.

The tour will also make a stop at the coastal villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar, where you'll walk along dramatic sea cliffs and observe the unique rock formations created by centuries of ocean waves. These charming fishing villages offer a glimpse into Icelandic coastal life.

Other sites your guide will take you to are the black church at Budir, the Londrangar basalt cliffs, and the Djupalonssandur beach. While Budir is a beautiful landmark and photography subject, Londrangar and Djupalonssandur have impressive geological formations that you'll explore closely while learning exciting stories from your guide.

Toward the end of the day, the guide will drop you off at your hotel in Reykjavik.

Join this private guided tour of the Snaefellsnes peninsula to see Kirkjufell mountain, Snaefellsjokull glacier, and more beautiful locations. Check availability now by choosing a date.
