Your adventure begins with a convenient morning pickup from your Reykjavik accommodation. You'll travel in style in an SUV, ideal for groups of up to four, or a van for up to eight people, ensuring comfort throughout your journey.

The tour first takes you to Arnarstapi, a charming fishing village on the Atlantic's edge. Dramatic coastal cliffs and rugged terrain greet you and offer stunning photographic opportunities. Arnastapi is visually captivating and a paradise for birdwatchers and hikers. Wander through the village, savoring the local ambiance and perhaps stopping at a cafe or picking up souvenirs.

Next, you'll visit the iconic Budir church, a striking contrast of black and white architecture against a backdrop of glacier-capped mountains, sprawling lava fields, and black sand beaches. Budir is a magnet for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers, capturing the essence of Iceland's diverse landscapes.

The journey continues to Djupalonssandur beach, a striking black sand and pebble beach known for its rugged beauty.

One of the tour's highlights is Kirkjufell Mountain, Iceland's most photographed peak, known for its distinctive shape and picturesque setting. Kirkjufell, or "Church Mountain," offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and nearby waterfalls, making it a must-visit destination.
