Description
Explore West Iceland on this 2-day tour of Borgarfjordur Fjord and the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, known as "Iceland in Miniature." You visit coastlines, volcanic peaks, black sand beaches, waterfalls, fishing villages, and historic sites, with a mix of Iceland's nature and culture.
This tour suits travelers with limited time, as its itinerary fits easily into a weekend or short visit to Iceland.
The tour runs all year. In summer, you have long days under the midnight sun, and in winter, you can look for the northern lights.
The itinerary, accommodation, and transportation are arranged for you, so you can explore West Iceland without coordinating the details yourself.
A professional guide joins you throughout the journey, sharing stories and local insight.
You travel in a minibus with Wi-Fi on board.
On day one, you head north from Reykjavik to Bifrost, where Glanni Waterfall flows over the surrounding lava fields below the Grabrok Craters.
You then visit Borgarfjordur Fjord, with Deildartunguhver Hot Spring, the most powerful hot spring in Europe, the village of Reykholt, and Hraunfossar and Barnafoss Waterfalls. Husafell is also on the route.
One of the highlights of the tour is a 1.5-hour guided walk through Vidgelmir Lava Cave, the largest lava tunnel in Iceland. Lit walkways lead you past colorful rock walls and icy lava formations.
You spend the night in Borgarnes, so you are rested for the next day.
On day two, you explore the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, where lava fields stretch toward glacier-capped peaks and cliffs rise over the Atlantic Ocean. Snaefellsjokull Volcano stands at the heart of the peninsula, a snow-covered peak that has inspired stories for generations.
You visit the fishing village of Arnarstapi, the Londrangar Basalt Pinnacles, and Djupalonssandur Black Sand Beach, and you see Kirkjufell Mountain, one of the best-known mountains in Iceland.
If you travel in winter and conditions are right, you may see the northern lights.
