Full description

Set off from Reykjavik to explore the enchanting Snæfellsnes Peninsula, where Iceland’s dramatic landscapes await. Wind through lush, moss-covered lava fields, towering mountains, and picturesque black sand beaches.

Start with Kirkjufell Mountain, rising sharply from the sea, a perfect spot for photos alongside its nearby waterfall. Walk along the unique black pebble shores of Djúpalónssandur, where remnants of old shipwrecks lie, and hear stories from Iceland’s coastal past.

Next, explore the quiet fishing village of Arnarstapi, known for its rugged sea cliffs and the natural Miðgjá Stone Bridge. Continue to the 19th-century Búðakirkja, a stunning black church set against vast open land, and look for seals at Ytri Tunga beach. Travel through the historic Berserkjahraun lava fields, steeped in Viking lore, before a stop in Borgarnes for a taste of a local Icelandic hot dog.

End the day with a peaceful return to Reykjavik, carrying memories of Iceland’s striking natural wonders.

This relaxed tour invites you to take in the spectacular scenery of a region celebrated as "Little Iceland".
