The Snaefellsnes peninsula is the perfect blend of picture-perfect sights and off-the-beaten-path discoveries.

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. Whether you're after Iceland’s iconic views or a sense of solitude, Snaefellsnes peninsula offers both — without feeling crowded.

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. Join us for a full day of unforgettable landscapes, local stories, and pure Icelandic nature—without the crowds.

"Beautiful scenery!"
Excellent tour with stunning scenery. Our guide (and driver!) Gunnar B. was very knowledgeable and funny, and shared lots of historical facts and folk stories. He is also a keen photographer and shared his photos with us at the end of the day. Tour started and ended on time, with plenty of time to see all of the sights. Definitely recommend this tour!

"Best travel agency in Iceland!"
Myself and my group of friends took 3 tours with this company over a week of being in Iceland, and were far superior to other companies we interacted with. The tours are informative, well planned with lunch and rest stops and truly show you the best places in Iceland to see! If you are here for a short stay then I would recommend the golden circle tour as it takes you through the main sights. My personal favourite was the wonders of snaefellsnes, the tour was intimate and you got to see the whole of the West peninsula of Iceland. I would highly recommend this tour! As a geography lover the geographical features seen in both this tour and the reykjanes tour was excellent. There are even USB ports in all bused to charge phones and cameras for the duration of the tour! Iceland really does boast amazing features and active landscapes and Rey-kjavik excursions is the best way to see it all! You will not be disappointed!
