About this activity
Explore Iceland's most geographically diverse region in a single day: Snæfellsnes Peninsula combines glaciers, volcanic landscapes, black sand beaches, and charming fishing villages in one compact area. This small-group tour maximises personalised access to over a dozen natural and cultural highlights that would take weeks to experience across Iceland's scattered regions.
The Snæfellsnes peninsula is an area that is incredibly rich in its natural sights, its culture as well as its history.
The peninsula is often known as “Iceland in miniature” and this is due to the fact that a majority of the highlights that people come to Iceland for in general can all be found here in this peninsula. It has a glacier, a volcano, a number of mountains, lava caves, fishing villages, a national park and black sand beaches all of which rival the beauty of similar area in other parts of Iceland. It’s difficult not to recommend a trip around this part of Iceland to anyone visiting the country as, no matter what your tastes are as a traveler, it is almost guaranteed to have something you will enjoy.
On our Small group Snæfellsnes tour we offer you an intimate and personal guidance maximising your experience on the peninsula. Búðir Black Church, the seals at Ytri Tunga, Berserkjahraun lava fields, Mt. Kirkjufell and Kirkjufell waterfalls, Djúpalónssandur black basalt beach, Lóndrangar pinnacles, Snæfellsjökull glacier and Arnarstapi Harbor are amongst the places of interest you will enjoy with us on the tour.

Insider tips
- ★Arrive early in the day to beat tour groups at Kirkjufell and capture better light for photography.
- ★Bring waterproof layers and windproof jacket—weather changes rapidly; the coastal areas are significantly colder and windier than Reykjavík.
- ★The seal colony at Ytri Tunga is most active in summer months (June–August); keep 50+ metres distance and move slowly to avoid startling them.
- ★Pack snacks and water; facilities in fishing villages are limited and meals can be expensive.
