The private tour begins with pick-up from a location of your choice in Reykjavik or the greater capital region. An expert local guide will arrive at the specified time to collect you in a comfortable and luxurious car or minibus, depending on the size of your group.

When you’re ready to leave, you’ll start the journey to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. This area of Iceland is home to some breathtaking natural attractions. Since this is a private tour, you’ll be able to customize the stops in any way you want, but there are a few highlights you probably won't want to miss.

Snaefellsjokull National Park is an essential stop on any tour of this peninsula. The park is one of only three national parks in Iceland, and it's well worth a visit.

The park contains many beautiful natural landscapes, but Snaefellsjokull, a glacier-topped volcano, is its most striking attraction. This large volcano is 4,744 feet (1,446 meters) tall. On a clear day, it's visible all the way from Reykjavik.

The volcano is around 700,000 years old and is one of the best-known volcanoes in Iceland. Jules Verne uses it as the entrance to the planet's underground world in his novel Journey to the Center of the Earth, and it also has interesting folklore surrounding it. Your guide can tell you all about its history and mythology during your tour.

As well as being very large and well known, the volcano is incredibly scenic. During your trip to Snaefellsjokull National Park, you'll be able to take stunning photos that you'll treasure for years to come.

Another stop on your private tour could be Stykkisholmur, a colorful fishing village on the northern edge of the peninsula. This pretty little town is a lovely place to stop for photos or a swim in the local pool. There's also a lighthouse, a church with very unusual architecture, and a couple of interesting museums.

You could also make stops along the southern coast of the peninsula to see the Gatklettur arch and the Londrangar basalt cliffs. There are black sand beaches around this area too, so it's a good place to see the volcanic sands that Iceland is known for.

All travelers will also enjoy the beauty of Mount Kirkjufell, a pyramid-shaped mountain that is featured in Game of Thrones.

The Snaefellsjokull Peninsula has a huge variety of landscapes. Lava fields, black beaches, waterfalls, cliffs, mountains, glaciers… there's so much to see and do here. Booking a private tour is an easy way to visit everything you want to see in one day.
