The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is often called “Iceland in Miniature” because it has a little bit of everything. See lava fields, volcanoes, black sand beaches, mountains, cliffs, fishing villages, and even a glacier. Its beauty changes every season, so whether you visit in summer’s bright light or winter’s soft colors, this Snaefellsnes Peninsula day tour is always unforgettable.
Your adventure begins with pickup from designated bus stops and accommodations in Reykjavik. As you leave the city behind, the scenery quickly opens into the stunning coastlines that define West Iceland.
Your first experience on this small-group Snaefellsnes tour is Berserkjahraun, a massive 4,000-year-old lava field. Your Spanish-speaking guide shares the famous saga of the two berserkers (Norse warriors) who cleared a path through this lava before meeting their tragic fate. Walking here feels like stepping into a Viking story.
The journey continues toward Kirkjufell, one of Iceland’s most photographed mountains. Its perfect pyramid shape rises above the sea, with the charming Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall right beside it. In fall, winter, or spring, you often get this iconic view almost to yourself, making the moment even more special.
As you circle deeper into the peninsula, the landscapes shift again. You’ll drive around Snaefellsjokull National Park. It’s a protected area surrounding the glacier-capped volcano Snaefellsjokull. On clear days, you can see the white glacier shining above the lava fields.
Soon after, you reach Djupalonssandur, a black sand beach covered in smooth pebbles and remains of an old shipwreck. This beach also has traditional lifting stones, once used to test a sailor’s strength. If you feel like it, try picking one up and see which level you reach.
Your next stop reveals the Londrangar Sea Stacks, two tall rock towers rising straight from the ocean. Journeying onward along the coast, you soon reach the fishing village of Arnarstapi. With mountains behind it and sea cliffs in front, it’s one of Iceland’s most picturesque coastal towns.
Before the day ends, you visit the striking Budir Black Church. Standing alone in a lava field, this beautiful wooden church looks dramatic against the open landscape.
Your final stop is Ytri Tunga Beach, known for its seal colony and golden sands. If you look toward the rocks near the shoreline, you may spot seals relaxing in the sun or swimming close to the sand. It’s a gentle and joyful way to finish your Snaefellsnes Peninsula day tour before you drive back to Reykjavik.
