Snæfellsnes Peninsula Private Tour with a Local
Overview
What makes this tour unique is that we travel in the opposite direction and at different times from the regular bus tours, avoiding the crowds and giving you the feeling of having Iceland almost to yourself.
This is a journey through the raw beauty of Iceland, where fire meets ice and adventure meets peace. While exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, you will enjoy the scenic coastal walk in Arnarstapi, surrounded by dramatic cliffs, lava formations, and views of Snæfellsjökull Glacier. The tour also includes Mt. Kirkjufell, Ytri-Tunga seal beach, Djúpalónssandur black sand beach, Ólafsvík, Borgarnes, and the iconic Búðakirkja Church.
Optional activities such as a lava cave visit or a snowcat journey up to the glacier can be added upon request. These experiences are not included in the tour price, but Elisabete will gladly arrange everything for a seamless and unforgettable Icelandic adventure.
