From Reykjavik: Private Snaefellsnes Peninsula Tour
Discover the best of West Iceland on this full-day Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour from Reykjavík. Visit black beaches, lava fields, waterfalls, coastal cliffs, and the famous Kirkjufell Mountain - with lunch and dinner stops included.
Embark on a full-day journey through Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called “Iceland in Miniature” for its stunning variety of natural landscapes. From golden beaches to volcanic craters and fishing villages, this scenic route showcases some of Iceland’s most breathtaking sights - all in one day.
Depart from Reykjavík and travel through charming coastal scenery toward the Ytri Tunga Beach, home to a colony of seals often seen lounging on the rocks. Continue to the graceful Bjarnafoss Waterfall, tumbling down a cliff framed by basalt columns.
Next, visit the iconic Búðakirkja (Black Church of Búðir), a striking contrast against the surrounding lava fields, before heading to the Arnarstapi Coastline, where a short walk along the cliffs reveals dramatic rock arches and sea stacks.
Enjoy a relaxing lunch stop in the Arnarstapi or Hellnar area before exploring the nearby Lóndrangar Basalt Cliffs - remnants of a volcanic crater sculpted by centuries of waves and wind. Stroll along the black sands of Djúpalónssandur Beach, where shipwreck remains tell tales of Iceland’s seafaring past.
Climb to the rim of Saxhóll Crater for panoramic views of Snæfellsjökull National Park and end your sightseeing at the photogenic Kirkjufell Mountain and Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most famous landmarks.
Wrap up your day with a delicious dinner in Grundarfjörður, enjoying fresh local seafood or traditional Icelandic dishes before the return journey to Reykjavík. This tour offers a perfect blend of Iceland’s coastal beauty, volcanic landscapes, and peaceful rural charm.
