The experience

About this tour

Step away from busy destinations like the Golden Circle and the South Coast with the tour. The Snaefellsnes area gives a different view of Iceland.

First, we will begin with pickup at the cruise port in Grundarfjörður . Please note this is NOT from Reykjavik. We can offer a custom departure time  if needed. 

This peninsula is the inspiration for the novel “Journey to the Center of the Earth ''. There are historic villages, basalt cliffs, craters, volcanoes and waterfalls to explore within this area.

Make sure you have a full camera battery, our many stops will include:

  • Seal Beach- Also known as Ytri Tunga, we might just spot some seals relaxing on the beach
  • Budir Church- The famous black colored church
  • Bjarnarfoss- a beautiful, tall waterfall (80m)
  • Arnarstapi- old fishing hub
  • Djúpalónssandur- black lava formations
  • Saxhóll Crater- formed from an old volcano, this is one of the more easy to visit craters.
  • Kirkjufell- aka Game of Thrones Mountain

We may alter the itinerary to add/change stops based on weather, crowding or time. We ask participants to remain flexible and know we are committed to giving you an amazing experience while on our tour. 

Once our adventure has come to its end, we will make our way back to port to make sure you return to your cruise ship on time (be sure to communicate return times in advance to your guide).
