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 Reykjavik pickup at the cruise port. We can offer a custom departure time, but we want to make it known this tour can be 12-14 hours. Please keep this in mind if you have a return time. While we can remove a few stops if needed, we can not change the drive time. 

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:

  • Borgarnes Town- This town was one of the early settlements, served as the setting for Egils Saga in the Saga of Icelanders
  • Seal Beach- Also known as Ytri Tunga, we might just spot some seals relaxing-or playing- 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/add/change stops based on time, weather or crowding. Please remain flexible and know we will still provide an amazing tour. 

Once our adventure has come to its end, we will make our way back to Reykjavik.
