On this exclusive small-group, carbon-neutral tour, you'll traverse raw volcanic landscapes, wander along windswept black beaches, and soak in the quiet beauty of Iceland’s untouched countryside.

Highlights of the Snaefellsnes peninsula Tour
Borgarnes – Our first stop is this historic seaside town, a gateway to West Iceland. A quick stop here offers a taste of typical local town before heading deeper into the wild.
Ytri Tunga – Unlike Iceland’s black sand beaches, Ytri Tunga is a rare golden-sand shore known for its lively seal colony. Watch these curious creatures bask on the rocks, just offshore.
Arnarstapi – Enjoy a scenic coastal walk to some of Iceland’s most picturesque cliffs. Marvel at dramatic rock formations, sea arches, and nesting seabirds in one the most stunning landscapes of the country.
Djúpalónssandur – Step onto a black sand beach filled with smooth volcanic pebbles and the remnants of a historic shipwreck. Try lifting the old fisherman’s stones to test your strength, just like sailors of the past.
Hólahólar – A hidden gem off the beaten path on the peninsula, this ancient cluster of picturesque volcanic craters. The area was once home to a farmstead, which was abandoned in 1880. According to local folklore, the site has since become a dwelling for Huldufolk, or "hidden people", adding an air of mystery to its already captivating landscape.
Ólafsvík – A charming fishing village on the north coast of Snæfellsnes. Enjoy the peaceful harbor views and experience a slice of everyday life in this remote coastal town.
Kirkjufell – Crown the day with Iceland’s most iconic mountain, Kirkjufell. Its sharp peak and cascading waterfall create a picture-perfect scene straight out of a postcard.
This carbon-neutral small-group Saefellsnes peninsula tour offers a sustainable way to explore the peninsula, minimizing environmental impact while immersing you in Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes.
