Explore the stunning Snæfellsnes Peninsula on a private tour from Reykjavik, visiting black sand beaches, dramatic cliffs, Kirkjufell Mountain, and more. End your adventure with a relaxing soak at Hvammsvik Hot Springs.

Most visitors to Iceland never make it to the Schiereiland Snæfellsnes. Those who do tend to say it was the highlight of their trip. This private full-day tour from Reykjavík takes you around one of the most varied and visually spectacular stretches of coastline in the country – and ends it with something that has been called the best thing to do in the world: an evening soak at Hvammsvik Hot Springs.

The day begins at Ytri Tunga Beach, where wild harbour seals haul out onto the rocks year-round in one of Iceland's most reliable and genuinely moving wildlife encounters. The southern shore of the peninsula then leads to Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge – a narrow crack in the cliff face that opens into a hidden, mossy canyon with a stream running through it – and the stunning sea arch of Gatklettur at Arnarstapi, where the ocean has carved a perfect hole through solid rock, framing the open Atlantic beyond.

Along the western tip, Djúpalónssandur delivers one of Iceland's most atmospheric beach experiences: black pebbles, towering cliffs, ancient fishermen's lifting stones, and the rusted wreckage of a trawler still lying where it came ashore. The volcanic landscape of Hólahólar – the dramatic crags of the Lóndrangar area rising from the lava fields – and the perfectly formed Saxhóll Crater, climbed via a spiral staircase to a panoramic rim, round out the peninsula's raw volcanic character before the tour heads north.

The final stop on the peninsula is Kirkjufell – Iceland's most photographed mountain, its distinctive arrowhead silhouette rising from the northern shore with a waterfall in the foreground and a fjord at its back. It is the kind of view that makes people quietly put their cameras down and just look.

The return to Reykjavík passes through Hvalfjörður fjord and into Hvammsvik Hot Springs: eight natural geothermal pools set directly at the edge of the Atlantic, in a fjord landscape of extraordinary stillness. Named the Best Thing to Do in the World by Time Out in 2023, Hvammsvik is not a tourist spa – it is a place where the water, the mountains, and the silence do all the work. A bistro is available on-site. There is no better way to end a day on the west coast of Iceland.

Let op: de toegangsprijs voor Hvammsvik Hot Springs is niet inbegrepen in de initiële prijs, maar kan worden toegevoegd op de kassa-pagina.

Hólahólar
A striking row of volcanic craters stretching across the Snæfellsnes landscape, Hólahólar is a vivid reminder of the volcanic forces that shaped this peninsula.
