Embark on a Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour and discover the wonders of ‘Miniature Iceland’. Explore diverse landscapes, visit iconic sites, and indulge in a delicious farm-to-table meal.
Join us for an enchanting full-day journey to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and its surroundings.
As we travel west from Reykjavik, we’ll encounter numerous lunar landscapes and volcanic vistas, culminating in the awe-inspiring Snæfellsjökull glacier.
This glacier crowns the active stratovolcano featured in Jules Verne’s sci-fi classic, ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’. You might have glimpsed its sparkling ice cap from across the bay in Reykjavik. The volcano is believed to possess mystical powers and is considered one of the earth’s seven main energy centers, so don’t be surprised if you feel an inexplicable spiritual energy in its presence.
The area boasts exceptional geological beauty, with craters, lava fields (some more recent than others), hidden coves, and unique rock formations waiting to be explored. Local legends and folklore are integral to this diverse tour.
The day wouldn’t be complete without a home-cooked Icelandic early evening meal and some local interaction, which are naturally included, along with light snacks and bottled Icelandic water.
This fantastic tour is perfect for observing volcanic phenomena, discovering Iceland’s dramatic coastline, and experiencing its spiritual and mystical aspects.

Embark on a journey through Snæfellsnes National Park, often referred to as the mini version of Iceland because of its varied landscape. You’ll get to witness the moss-covered Berserkjahraun and the quaint fishing village of Grundarfjörður, Kirkjufell mountain proudly standing amidst magnificent green hills and babbling brooks.
We further explore Djúpalónssandur, an impressive black lava stone beach providing great cliff views, before moving on to the hamlet of Arnarstapi. Here, you can enjoy an awe-inspiring vista of Snæfellsjökull glacier, a renowned location largely recognized for its mention in the novel ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ where the main characters find the gateway to the center of our planet on Snæfellsjökull.
To end the day on a good note, a traditional Icelandic home-prepared feast along with a touch of local interaction is planned.
- Dress according to weather. In Iceland it is always wise to dress in warm, waterproof clothes. Weather changes can be sudden so expect the unexpected. Bring a waterproof jacket and pants, headwear and gloves. Good outdoor shoes are recommended.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
