Meet a driver at your hotel in Reykjavik, then begin the 93-mile (150-km) trip to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, a tranquil retreat from the bustling city. The first stop of the day is the black sand beach of Djupalónssandur, where the rock worn smooth by countless waves, to learn about its rich history.

Then drive to Kirkjufell, a stunningly-formed mountain peak whose name means "Church Mountain," and looms behind the scenic waterfalls at the base.

As you drive, Snæfellsjökull will dominate the horizon as you travel, and you’ll find stunning views of the ancient stratovolcano, which is capped with a shining glacier. Stop at the Londrangar viewpoint to admire the rock formations.

The final stop is the village of Arnarstapi, for a scenic walk along a row of jagged cliffs. Then begin the return trip to Reykjavik, where this tour concludes with drop-off at your original departure point.

Dritvik and Djupalonssandur
See the black sand beach Djúpalónssandur with it's rich history. Once a popular area for fishing, the sea is now empty as boats have moved elsewhere.

Great tour guide, his humour and tips along the entire trip. The small bus made the trip cosier and in small groups we achieved a lot. The stopovers were well planned. Downside was lunch stop at Sker restaurant- took ages for them to serve food.

Tour guide, Howser, was so knowledgeable, sharing sagas of this lesser travelled area of ocean meeting old lava. Stops for local dishes at two fishing villages added to the day of magnificent scenery.

The mini bus was very tight and uncomfortable. 10 times worse than a plane. For the price and length of the tour, I would have expected a bigger bus with more space. Absolutely no room for your legs if you’re tall.

Despite the bad weather condition, I had literally enjoyed touring round Snaefellsnes National park. I could've at least prepared for the weather a bit more. I enjoy touring round in different places/locations. It was worth value for money. My feet and legs were absolutely drenching.

This was such an amazing tour! We went when it was crazy weather (safe enough to travel, but still lots of snow, wind, etc.), but our guide Simon did a great job navigating us through! He was one of our favorite tour guides ever! We saw some of the most beautiful things ever and had an amazing tour!
