Description

Explore the Westfjords, the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, and the Borgarfjordur region on this multi-day private sightseeing tour of some of Iceland's most secluded regions.

This tour suits travelers who want to experience the solitude and tranquility of remote Iceland.

Your 5-day tour begins with pickup in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland and the northernmost capital in the world. From there, you travel through the Borgarfjordur region to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, where you see rugged coastline and Snaefellsjokull Glacier, which gives the peninsula's national park its name.

You then head into the Westfjords, with their towering bird cliffs, remote fjords, and fishing villages, before returning to Reykjavik through the Borgarfjordur region on the last day.

Because this is a multi-day tour, you can add extra activities at your own expense, such as exploring lava tunnels or soaking in geothermal spas.
