Loading...The Snaefellsnes peninsula is the perfect blend of picture-perfect sights and off-the-beaten-path discoveries.
On this exclusive small-group, carbon-neutral tour, you'll traverse raw volcanic landscapes, wander along windswept black beaches, and soak in the quiet beauty of Iceland’s untouched countryside. Whether you're after Iceland’s iconic views or a sense of solitude, Snaefellsnes peninsula offers both — without feeling crowded.
Highlights of the Snaefellsnes peninsula Tour
Borgarnes – Our first stop is this historic seaside town, a gateway to West Iceland. A quick stop here offers a taste of typical local town before heading deeper into the wild.
Ytri Tunga – Unlike Iceland’s black sand beaches, Ytri Tunga is a rare golden-sand shore known for its lively seal colony. Watch these curious creatures bask on the rocks, just offshore.
Arnarstapi – Enjoy a scenic coastal walk to some of Iceland’s most picturesque cliffs. Marvel at dramatic rock formations, sea arches, and nesting seabirds in one the most stunning landscapes of the country.
Djúpalónssandur – Step onto a black sand beach filled with smooth volcanic pebbles and the remnants of a historic shipwreck. Try lifting the old fisherman’s stones to test your strength, just like sailors of the past.
Hólahólar – A hidden gem off the beaten path on the peninsula, this ancient cluster of picturesque volcanic craters. The area was once home to a farmstead, which was abandoned in 1880. According to local folklore, the site has since become a dwelling for Huldufolk, or "hidden people", adding an air of mystery to its already captivating landscape.
Ólafsvík – A charming fishing village on the north coast of Snæfellsnes. Enjoy the peaceful harbor views and experience a slice of everyday life in this remote coastal town.
Kirkjufell – Crown the day with Iceland’s most iconic mountain, Kirkjufell. Its sharp peak and cascading waterfall create a picture-perfect scene straight out of a postcard.
Snæfellsnes in every season
The Snæfellsnes National Park is an area of deep historic significance in Iceland and one that holds a mythical and magical connection in the hearts of locals. It was also made famous by Jules Verne in his novel "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" in which the crowning jewel of Snæfellsnes, its glacier, holds the gateway to the planet's very core. But this area of outstanding beauty is also remarkable for its variety of natural wonders and even between seasons. Come in spring to see the puffins arrive. Come in summer to watch the whales jumping just off shore. Come in fall to see the colorful landscapes come alive and see Snæfellsnes in winter when your chances of catching the northern lights dance are the best. It's an entirely different world between seasons and we recommend them all because they all have their special treats.

For any season we recommend layers because the weather can change from one minute to the next. Bring warm options a waterproof jacket and sturdy shoes. If you're going in winter, additional items like a hat, gloves, scarf and even micro-spikes for icy paths may be wise. Bring snacks or pick them up at Borgarnes on our first stop.
