Experience the best of West Iceland with a private three-day journey that blends world-famous sights with the heartfelt charm of farm life. Across three days, you’ll explore the Golden Circle, the Silver Circle, and the dramatic Snæfellsnes Peninsula, while spending your evenings at our family farm — enjoying true Icelandic sveitarómantík, or “country romance.”
On Day 1, marvel at the Golden Circle’s legendary sites: Þingvellir National Park, the erupting hot spring at Geysir, and the mighty Gullfoss waterfall. In the evening, arrive at our farm, settle into your private three-bedroom apartment, and spend time with our friendly sheep and horses before relaxing into the quiet rhythm of the countryside.
On Day 2, wake up to a hearty farm breakfast and enjoy a slow morning with the animals before setting out to explore the Silver Circle. Highlights include the steaming hot spring at Deildartunguhver, the lava-formed Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls, and a family-friendly hike up Grábrók crater. Return to the farm in the evening for another cozy overnight stay, with plenty of time to connect again with the animals and countryside atmosphere.
On Day 3, after breakfast and a mindful morning at the farm, journey across the Snæfellsnes Peninsula — often called “Iceland in Miniature.” Stops include the sea cliffs of Arnarstapi, the haunting black sands of Djúpalónssandur, the striking black church at Búðir, and the postcard-perfect Kirkjufell mountain, known as the “Arrowhead Mountain” from Game of Thrones. After a full day of discovery, your adventure ends with a comfortable drive back to Reykjavík.
Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy private guidance, daily farm-fresh breakfasts, comfortable transport, and flexibility for meal stops along the way. This tour offers the perfect blend of Iceland’s greatest landscapes and the authentic warmth of life on a family farm.
INCLUDED:
Participants are picked up at a location of their choice within Reykjavík City.
Kerið — a striking volcanic crater filled with vivid blue-green water, framed by red lava rock. Unlike most craters, it’s easily accessible, letting you walk right along the rim or descend to the lake below. A colorful, photogenic stop unique to Iceland’s landscape
Gullfoss — the ‘Golden Falls’ that give the Golden Circle its name. Here, glacial water from Langjökull plunges in two dramatic tiers into a rugged canyon, sending spray high into the air. On sunny days, rainbows often form in the mist, making this one of Iceland’s most iconic and unforgettable sights.
Geysir Geothermal Area — the original home of the word ‘geyser.’ Although the Great Geysir itself is now mostly dormant, nearby Strokkur erupts every few minutes, shooting steaming water up to 30 meters skyward. The bubbling pools and sulfur-scented steam vents make this a living showcase of Iceland’s geothermal power.
Þingvellir — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where nature and history meet. Walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in Almannagjá gorge, and stand on the site where Iceland’s first parliament, the Alþingi, was founded in 930 AD. A place of breathtaking beauty and immense cultural importance.
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 good morning 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.
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.
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.
Deildartunguhver — Europe’s most powerful hot spring, where steaming water gushes from the earth.
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.
After exploring the Silver Circle, return to our family farm for your last night in the countryside. Enjoy the flexibility of cooking in your private apartment or dining at a nearby restaurant. Spend some time with the horses and sheep, relax in the quiet surroundings, and savor one more evening of farm life.
Begin the day with a hearty farm-fresh breakfast before setting out to explore the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called “Iceland in Miniature.” Highlights include the dramatic cliffs of Arnarstapi, the black-sand beach at Djúpalónssandur, the striking black church at Búðir, and the famous Kirkjufell mountain, known from Game of Thrones. After a full day of discovery, enjoy a comfortable drive back to Reykjavík in the evening.
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.
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.
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.
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.
