Discover the magic of West Iceland with a private two-day tour that combines the highlights of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and the Silver Circle — with an unforgettable overnight stay at our family farm.
On Day 1, explore Snæfellsnes, often called “Iceland in Miniature,” with stops at Búðir Black Church. the charming fishing village of Arnarstapi, the black-sand beach of Djúpalónssandur, and the iconic Kirkjufell mountain, known as the “Arrowhead Mountain” from Game of Thrones. In the evening, we arrive at our family farm for a cozy overnight stay in a private three-bedroom apartment. Experience true sveitarómantík — “country romance” — by cuddling sheep, meeting our gentle horses, and enjoying the peaceful rhythm of farm life.
On Day 2, continue to the Silver Circle, where you’ll visit the steaming hot spring Deildartunguhver, the cascading Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls, and take a family-friendly hike up Grábrók crater. After a farm-fresh breakfast and flexible meal stops along the way, your journey ends with a comfortable drive back to Reykjavík.
This tour blends breathtaking landscapes with authentic countryside hospitality, offering a truly unique Icelandic experience for couples, families, or small groups.
INCLUDED:
Participants are picked up at a location of their choice within Reykjavík City.
Búðir — home to the iconic black wooden church set against lava fields and the ocean. Simple yet striking, this landmark embodies the quiet beauty and rich history of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Arnarstapi — a charming fishing village with dramatic sea cliffs and natural stone arches. A coastal walk here offers sweeping views, seabird colonies, and a sense of Iceland’s rugged connection between land and sea.
Djúpalónssandur — a hauntingly beautiful black-sand beach scattered with lava formations and the remains of a shipwreck. Once a bustling fishing site, today it invites you to test your strength on the traditional ‘lifting stones’ and soak in its dramatic coastal scenery.
Kirkjufell — Iceland’s most photographed mountain, rising sharply from the sea with a graceful symmetry that looks almost unreal. Framed by nearby waterfalls, it’s a picture-perfect stop and a true icon of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Fans of Game of Thrones may recognize it as the ‘Arrowhead Mountain,’ featured in the series.
Hvassafell — your countryside home in West Iceland. After a day of exploring, arrive at our family farm for an evening of country romance: cuddle our sheep, hug our gentle horses, and feel the calm of rural life. You’ll stay overnight in a private three-bedroom apartment on the farm, with cozy touches and farm-fresh breakfast included. A uniquely personal Icelandic experience found nowhere else.
If the skies are clear, you may be treated to one of Iceland’s most magical experiences — the Northern Lights. While we can’t guarantee their appearance, our farm is an excellent viewing spot with minimal light pollution. With just a short 5-minute drive, we can reach complete darkness, giving you the chance to enjoy the spectacle in perfect solitude. We promise to do our very best to chase the lights and find the best conditions so you have every chance to witness this unforgettable natural wonder.
Begin the day with a hearty farm-fresh breakfast before departure. Spend time revisiting the horses, saying goodbye to the sheep, or enjoying a peaceful walk around the countryside. With a relaxed 10:00 AM departure, there’s plenty of time to soak in the quiet charm of farm life before the day’s adventures continue.
Grábrók Crater — an easy hike with a big reward. Climb the wooden steps to the rim of this ancient volcanic crater and enjoy sweeping views over lava fields and valleys of West Iceland. A unique chance to walk atop a volcano.
Glanni Waterfall — a hidden gem of West Iceland, where a broad cascade tumbles over ancient lava rocks. Legend says it’s the home of elves and trolls, adding a touch of magic to this peaceful stop.
Hraunfossar — unlike any other waterfall in Iceland, where glacial rivers emerge from beneath a vast lava field, cascading in countless streams across black volcanic rock. A unique, dreamlike sight you won’t find anywhere else in the country.
Deildartunguhver — Europe’s most powerful hot spring, where steaming water gushes from the earth. Nearby, you can taste delicious tomato soup made in a greenhouse warmed by the spring itself — a uniquely Icelandic farm-to-table experience
