Discover the majestic Snæfellsnes Peninsula, known as 'Little Iceland', on a full-day tour filled with spectacular landscapes and unforgettable experiences. This tour takes you through volcanoes, glaciers, black sand beaches, charming fishing villages, and stunning cliffs, with a traditional Icelandic lunch at an authentic local farm. The journey begins with pick-up at your accommodation in Reykjavík, heading towards the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The first stop is Ytri-Tunga, a beach famous for its seal colony, where you can observe these adorable creatures in their natural habitat. Then, we head to the picturesque fishing villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar. In Arnarstapi, we will walk along the basalt cliffs, admiring the rock formations and abundant birdlife. In Hellnar, you will enjoy the tranquility and stunning scenery. One of the highlights of the tour is lunch at a local farm.

After lunch, we will visit Djúpalónssandur Beach, a black sand beach with a rich Viking history. Explore the lava formations and test your strength with the lifting stones used by the Vikings. Our next stop is the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain and Kirkjufellfoss Waterfall. Kirkjufell is one of Iceland's most photographed mountains, famous for its distinctive shape and spectacular location. Kirkjufellfoss Waterfall, with the mountain in the background, offers one of the country's most iconic views, perfect for photography lovers. We venture into Snæfellsjökull National Park, home to the famous Snæfellsjökull Glacier and volcano, which inspired Jules Verne in his novel 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'. Here, you will have the option to explore one of the lava caves, appreciating the unique geological formation of the region and learning about its volcanic history.
