Join us for a awe inspiring trip to the magical Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

The day will begin with pick up from whichever pre-approved location you have selected. Once everyone is on board we will head out on tour.

We will journey over to Kirkjufell, this is perhaps one of the most popular mountains in Iceland and has been photographed by a large variety of people. This incredible landform was Made legendary in Game of Thrones, this free-standing mountain is a photo opportunity like no other.

This entire peninsula is a hot spot for fossils of birds and fish which are made easier to look for by the stunning beaches. We will take you to Djúpalónssandur beach to show you exactly what we mean. Once home to around sixty fishing boats these black sand beaches are some of the most beautiful in Iceland. The area is now uninhabited however giving it a luxury private beach kind of feel.

One of the more interesting features of this area is the four “Lifting stones” that are on the beach and were once used by fishermen to test their strength. The minimum a man would have to lift was a 54 KG stone to hip height.

Arnarstapi is up next, also known simply as Stapi, is a fishing village on the southern edge of the peninsula, place names for these two aforementioned villages originate from one of the old Icelandic sagas that told the tales of a half man, half ogre called Bárður. This whole area is a living museum for the literary history of Iceland as well as its deep rooted connections to the fishing industry. Arnarstapi in particular had an ideal location to allow it to grow into a large shipping port and it in fact serviced much of the needs of the entire west of the island.The harbors here are still very well maintained and have become a popular tourist destination.

This town is also the last stop the protagonists of Jules Verne’s “Journey to the center of the earth” make before they summit Snæfellsjökull and journey into the planet’s core.

Finally, The day would not be complete without an Icelandic home-cooked early evening meal along with some local interaction – so, naturally, this is also included. As are some light snacks and bottled Icelandic water.

The duration of the tour is 12 hours.
