Description
See lava fields, waterfalls, black beaches, and sea cliffs on this private day tour of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula from Reykjavik, with stops at Kirkjufell Mountain, Djupalonssandur Beach, the Londrangar Basalt Cliffs, and the fishing villages of Grundarfjordur and Arnarstapi.
As it's a private tour, you can explore at your own pace and spend more time at the stops that interest you most.
Your guide picks you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, and you drive north to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.
The first stop is the Berserkjahraun Lava Field, a moss-covered lava field formed more than 4,000 years ago. Its name comes from a Viking saga, which your guide tells you about.
Next is Kirkjufell Mountain, rising like a cone beside the sea. It has appeared in films and TV series, including Game of Thrones. You also see the fishing village of Grundarfjordur.
Just across from the mountain is Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall, a small waterfall with a view of Kirkjufell Mountain behind it.
The tour continues to Djupalonssandur Beach, a black pebble beach with lava formations, ocean views, and the remains of a shipwreck. Here, you can see the lifting stones that fishermen once used to test their strength.
Next are the Londrangar Basalt Cliffs, which rise from the coastline like a natural fortress. Seabirds nest on the cliffs, and you have views out over the ocean.
The last stop is Arnarstapi Village, a small fishing village known for its coastal cliffs and sea arches. A walking path along the cliffs shows you basalt formations and birdlife.
Then your guide drives you back to Reykjavik and drops you off at your accommodation.
