Snaefellsnes Peninsula: Small Group Adventure from Reykjavik
Join us for an unforgettable day trip from Reykjavik to the magical Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called “Iceland in Miniature”! You'll see a fantastic mix of landscapes, from lava fields and mountains to black sand beaches and glaciers. Our small group ensures a friendly and personal experience.
We start with a convenient pick-up from your chosen bus stop in central Reykjavik. We'll get everyone on board quickly so we can enjoy a full day exploring!
Berserkjahraun Lava Fields
Our first stop takes us to the amazing Berserkjahraun lava fields. These jagged rocks are from an old volcano and look like something from another world. You'll see how powerful volcanoes are in Iceland.
Mt. Kirkjufell & Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfalls
Next, we'll visit the famous Mt. Kirkjufell, Iceland's most photographed mountain! You'll see its unique shape and the beautiful Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls right in front of it. It's a perfect spot for taking pictures.
Snæfellsjökull National Park
We'll drive through the stunning Snæfellsjökull National Park, a protected wilderness area surrounding the majestic Snæfellsjökull glacier. On a clear day, you can even see this glacier from Reykjavik! Enjoy the breathtaking scenery as we journey through this remarkable national park.
Djúpalónssandur Beach
Get ready for the stunning Djúpalónssandur black sand beach. You'll walk along the black pebbles and see pieces of old shipwrecks scattered on the sand. There are also some old lifting stones here – a fun challenge if you're feeling strong!
Lóndrangar Basalt Cliffs
We'll see the impressive Lóndrangar basalt cliffs, two huge rock formations rising from the sea. They are all that's left of an old volcano and are home to many birds, offering amazing coastal views.
Arnarstapi
We'll visit the charming village of Arnarstapi, a picturesque place with mountains behind it and cliffs by the sea. It used to be a busy fishing village, and you can still feel its history. Enjoy a walk along the cliffs and maybe spot some seabirds. The Arnarstapi bridge is a famous photo spot.
Búðir Black Church
We'll make a stop at the beautiful Búðir Black Church. This striking wooden church stands alone in a vast lava field, creating a wonderful contrast in the landscape – a perfect photo opportunity!
Ytri Tunga Beach Seals
Our final stop on the peninsula is Ytri Tunga Beach. This golden sand beach is a great place to see seals! Keep an eye out for these playful creatures basking on the rocks near the shore.
After exploring the wonders of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, we'll begin our journey back to central Reykjavik, dropping you off at the same bus stop where we picked you up. We hope you'll have amazing memories of this special part of Iceland!
Please note that the order of stops might change depending on the weather conditions, but we will still visit all the amazing places mentioned.
