Description

Explore the landscapes and features that Iceland is famous for by booking this incredible guided photo excursion of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Those eager to discover the attractions of "Iceland in miniature" and get fantastic photographs to remember the trip should book this private tour now.

Your tour starts when your expert guide picks you up from your accommodation in the greater Reykjavik area. This excursion is a private tour, meaning it will be just you and your party.

It's a two-hour drive to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Along the way, you'll admire the stunning Icelandic surroundings and the Hvalfjordur fjord, also known as the "whale fjord." Mountains and lush green scenery surround this beautiful stretch of water.

The Snaefellsnes peninsula is often called "Iceland in miniature" because it has all of the natural features that Iceland is famous for, including waterfalls, volcanic rock formations, fishing villages, and mountains. It's a fascinating place to explore.

Your guide is a local expert and also a professional photographer. During the tour, they'll take pictures of you and the landscapes you visit. You'll receive a digital download of 10 photos within two weeks of your trip.

The first stop is Budakirkja, a black-colored church that is one of the most photographed buildings in Iceland. The church is in an ancient lava field and dates back to the 18th century.

Not far from Budakirkja church is Arnarstapi, a picturesque coastal village that encapsulates the country's natural beauty. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs, rugged lava formations, and the mighty Atlantic Ocean, it offers breathtaking views in every direction.

Next, you'll stop at Londrangar, a beautiful rock formation. These twin rock pinnacles rise dramatically from the cliffs, with one reaching over 245 feet (about 75 meters) high. Volcanic activity created the rock formations, now home to birdlife like fulmars and kittiwakes.

Your guide will also take you to the Svodufoss waterfall, a hidden gem that only a few travelers visit. The water gracefully cascades down a series of moss-covered basalt columns. Its name means "Curtain Falls" in Icelandic, which aptly describes the veil-like appearance of the water descending into a crystal-clear pool below.

After a lunch stop, you'll continue your journey by visiting the Kirkjufell mountain, one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland. Also called the "Church Mountain," it's shaped like a cone. You might recognize it as the "Arrowhead Mountain" from the popular TV series Game of Thrones.

At the end of the tour, your guide will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.

Enjoy this magnificent full-day private tour, exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and its famous natural attractions. Check availability now by choosing a date.
