Overview

We invite you for Snaefellsnes Peninsula tour on comfortable luxury VAN. Pro Photo included during the tour.
Snaefellsnes is a captivating region located on the western coast of Iceland. Known for its stunning landscapes and diverse natural wonders, it offers a condensed version of the country's breathtaking beauty. The peninsula is dominated by the majestic Snæfellsjökull glacier, which crowns the area and is often referred to as the "Jewel of the Peninsula." Snæfellsnes is often called "Iceland in Miniature" due to the wide array of landscapes it showcases, including lava fields, black sand beaches, towering cliffs, and picturesque fishing villages. Visitors can explore iconic landmarks like Kirkjufell Mountain and its nearby waterfall, Kirkjufellsfoss, as well as delve into Snæfellsjökull National Park, home to dramatic caves and stunning viewpoints.

    What To Expect

    Berserkjahraun

    Our first stop of the day is at Berserkjahraun. This moss covered lava field is the remnant of an eruption from the nearby Bjarnarhafnafjall mountain over 4000 years ago. The scale of the lava fields really attests to the power and influence of volcanoes on the Icelandic landscape.Berserkjahraun literally translates as the lava field of the frenzied warriors. The berserk warriors if you will. This reflects the fury that must have been unleashed here all those years ago when the mountain blew its top.

    Kirkjufell Mountain

    Mountain Kirkjufell or the church mountain is perhaps the most photographed mountain in Iceland.This 463 m mass looms over the nearby fishing village of Grunðarfjörður. Its distinct arrowhead shape has inspired both professional and amateur photographers for years. A classic snap is Kirkjufell with the northern lights shimmering above. It recently came to prominence internationally by featuring as the Arrowhead mountain in one of the later seasons of the hit TV show “Game of Thrones”.The mountain was part of the scenes north of the wall’ when Jon Snow, The Hound, and Jorah Mormont seek to capture an undead wight.

    Kirkjufellsfoss

    The iconic vista of Kirkjufell is taken from this location and features the falls in the foreground which really sells the scale of the looming mountain in the background. The waterfall is a three pronged waterfall fed by glacial meltwaters from the nearby  Snæfellsjökull glacier. A small path takes you around the area for a great view of the falls and Mt Kirkjufell from all angles.

    Snaefellsjokull National Park & Glacier

    Snæfellsnesjökull National Park in a protected wilderness area encircling Snæfellsjökull glacier.It is possible to see Snæfellsjökull on a clear day from Reykjavík, hundreds of kilometres to the south. Our guests get a better view! A 700,000 year old subglacial volcano, it has thankfully lain dormant for almost 2000 years, which is just as well as it is the same type of volcano as Ejyafjalljökull. That subglacial volcano erupted and famously created chaos and grounded airplanes worldwide back in 2010.Snæfellsjökull also famously features in Jules Verne´s seminal 1864 adventure novel “Journey to the Center of the Earth”. The entrance to the underworld was imagined by Verne to lie here.

    Djupalonssandur Beach

    Djúpalónssandur is a black sand beach and one of the most famous in Iceland.The beach is encircled by cliffs and rock formations, and visitors can walk along these cliffs to view the beach from all angles. Two of the stranger rock formations here were thought to be frozen trolls. A challenge can be found here for the more competitive of visitors. Long held as a test of strength, 4 lifting stones of ascending size and weight lie on the breach. Once used to test the strength of fishermen, it´s held that the achievement of lifting the 54kg stone was the minimum requirement to find employment on fishing boats in the area.

This picturesque location is shadowed by mountains to the north and wave-battered cliffs to its south.Once a very important fishing and trade hub for the region, the area’s economy now is now reliant upon tourism and guest services, but once definitely gets a sense of its illustrious past from the harbour.It is a real pleasure to walk along the cliff edge and spot the nesting seabirds below. A famous photo stop is the Arnarstapi bridge, Eystrigjá.

    Budir black church is one of the most beautiful in Iceland. But what makes this place special is the stunning landscape on which it rests.

    Ytri Tunga Beach

    We make one final stop in Snæfellsnes before heading back to the city. Ytri Tunga is a pleasant though unremarkable golden beach. Why then do we make a stop here you may ask? Because Ytri Tunga is one of the best places in Iceland to watch seals. These harbour seals spends there days on the rocks just off the beach and hopefully you will be lucky and catch a glimpse of them.
