Overview

Experience the diverse beauty of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called “Iceland in Miniature,” on this private guided tour.

Visit the geometric Gerðuberg Basalt Cliffs and the serene Ytri Tunga beach, home to seals and golden sands. Explore the iconic black Búðakirkja, delve into the mystical Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge, and marvel at Arnarstapi’s basalt arches and folklore-rich coast.

See the towering Lóndrangar sea stacks, stroll the black-pebble beach of Djúpalónssandur, and climb Saxhóll Crater for panoramic views of lava fields and Snæfellsjökull glacier. End the tour at the famous Kirkjufell mountain and Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall.

This private tour, offered in English or other languages by request, is the perfect way to explore Snæfellsnes at your own pace.
