Overview
Join our incredible adventure to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, where you’ll explore an 8,000-year-old lava tube, geothermal areas, seal colonies, and the breathtaking Kirkjufell Mountain—one of Iceland’s most photographed landmarks.
Follow in the footsteps of Jules Verne, Walter Mitty, and other explorers as you discover Iceland’s diverse and stunning landscapes.
Your journey begins in Reykjavik, where your guide will pick you up for an unforgettable West Iceland adventure.
