The Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland is almost a miniature version of the island

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, Snæfellsnes offers both—without feeling crowded.

Highlights of the Snaefellsnes 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 Walk – 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 of Snæfellsnes’ most stunning landscapes.
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 on the peninsula, this lava field is a quiet, otherworldly landscape shaped by ancient eruptions.
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.

This carbon-neutral small-group Saefellsnes tour offers a sustainable way to explore the peninsula, minimizing environmental impact while immersing you in Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes. Join us for a full day of unforgettable landscapes, local stories, and pure Icelandic nature—without the crowds.

Arnarstapi
A Fishing village known for its early founding and being since 1565 a trading post of the Danish Crown and a seat of Viceroyalty in the region until the 19th century. Birdlife and unique rock formations can be found all across the shores of the village. A Statue of Bárður Snæfellsáss – a legendary half human, half ogre from the Icelandic Sagas is prominently displayed.
Djúpalónssandur
A black sand beach near the foot of Snæfellsjökull Glacier. Rusted remains of the British trawler Epine (Grimsby) litter the coast after having wrecked on the cliffs nearby on March 13 1948. Four lifting stones can also be found here that were used as a test of strength among the locals. The Fullsterkur stone weighs 154kg, Hálfsterkur weighs in at 100kg, Hálfdrættingur at 54 kg, Amlóði at 23kg. To be considered to be fit to work on the boats that once populated the beach, a successful lift of Hálfdrættingur was the minimum weight required to atleast hip-height.
Hólahólar
A crater formation variously described as a home of mythical hidden-people legends and/or elves.
