Visit sleeping fishing villages and sandy shores, see stunning waterfalls, imposing mountains, and jagged lava rocks. You can even race across the icecap of the majestic Snaefellsjokull glacier by snowmobile on this immersive day tour. 

This is the perfect tour for those looking for a more personalized and individual experience. Your morning pickup from Reykjavík will be in a comfortable vehicle, tailored to the size of your group, ensuring a smooth start to your day.

Then, you will be whisked away out of the city to the wondrous Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The peninsula has been dubbed ‘Iceland in miniature’ as it has all of the elements that make Iceland so unique.

There, you’ll find stretches of black lava fields, beautiful waterfalls, and colorful mountains. The area boasts lovely villages, sandy shores, high cliffs, and, of course, a mighty glacier. Snaefellsnes is not only stunningly beautiful, but it is also steeped in history, and your expert guide will tell you stories of days of old while you traverse the region. You will also get to know the peninsula’s many folklore and myths while visiting places where trolls and elves are said to live. 

The legendary Snaefellsjokull Glacier will loom over you as you travel along the stunning landscape. The glacier sat on top of a 7000-year-old dormant stratovolcano and gained some fame when it served as the entrance to the underground excursion in Jules Verne’s classic science fiction novel ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’.

In the hamlet of Arnarstapi, you can have the exclusive opportunity to hop on board a snowmobile, subject to availability. You'll ride across the icy plane of this famous glacier for some fantastic views of the pearly white snow, rugged mountains, and the vast Atlantic Ocean. 

For those seeking a different kind of adventure, optional activities such as exploring the Vatnshellir Lava Tunnel or relaxing in the Krauma Geothermal Baths are also available for an additional cost. 

Vatnshellir offers a fascinating journey underground, where you’ll descend into an 8,000-year-old lava tube formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. With a helmet and flashlight, you’ll walk through passages that reveal the geological story of the peninsula. 

Alternatively, Krauma Baths offer a soothing experience, drawing from the hot springs of Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring. It’s the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the natural thermal waters amidst a scenic countryside setting.
