Join us to explore the varied landscapes of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West Iceland, often called 'Iceland in a nutshell'. On this full-day excursion, we discover mountains, black-sand beaches, villages, and more!
On this tour, you'll see some of Iceland's most famous locations. First up is Kirkjufell, a mountain that looks like an arrowhead and is famous for its looks and waterfalls. Then, we'll visit Djúpalónssandur, a beach with black pebbles and old shipwreck stories. We'll explore Arnarstapi, a cozy fishing village, see a natural rock bridge, and visit a 19th-century church. You'll also get to see seals and amazing rock formations that nature made all by itself. Ending in Borgarnes, a cute village, this trip shows you Iceland's sensational nature and unique places that you can't find anywhere else.
Located on the northern side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, the first attraction of the day is the "arrowhead" mountain – Kirkjufell. The mountain protrudes from the ocean at 463 meters (1,519 feet) and towers over a fishing village below. With its unique shape and reflective effect in the water below, Kirkjufell is extremely popular with photographers. You won't want to forget your camera for this stop – not to mention the mountain is surrounded by some epic waterfalls.
Our next stop will be the cinematic Djúpalónssandur black pebble beach. Here your guide will treat you to some fascinating stories about local shipwrecks while you enjoy some awesome beach views.
Fishing villages are a key feature of any coastal tour in Iceland. For our excursion, we will stop in the charming town of Arnarstapi. Visit the town’s highlight Miðgjá bridge, a natural rock arch off the coast, and experience life away from the hustle and bustle. Just east of town, we'll stop at Búðakirkja, a lovely 19th-century church and of course check out the seals in Ytri-Tunga.
The journey back to Reykjavík is just as scenic as the departure. We will travel across more dynamic lava fields, some of which are home to basalt columns. These fascinating formations are geometric works of art made by mother nature herself.
Borgarnes – one of Iceland's many charming villages – will be our last stop before arriving at the capital. Here, we will stop for lunch where you could buy a famous Icelandic hot dog or other refreshments – the perfect end to an amazing day!
