About Tour

Embark on a memorable, family-friendly adventure as you explore the stunning Snæfellsnes Peninsula! Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Reykjavik, including a 6 km undersea tunnel crossing Hvalfjordur (Whale Bay), and a brief stop in the charming town of Borgarnes for refreshments.

As you travel along the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, you’ll witness a stunning mix of natural wonders – from glaciers and volcanoes to basalt columns and lava fields. This unique region is often called ‘Miniature Iceland’ because it offers a bit of everything that makes Iceland so special, all in one place.

Your first stop is Gerðuberg, where you can marvel at the incredible basalt columns, perfectly shaped into hexagons. You’ll then visit the picturesque fishing village of Arnarstapi, known for its impressive bird cliffs and possible seal sightings.

Next, take a stroll along the Djúpalónssandur black sand beach, and if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try lifting the traditional “Stones of Trial” that were once used to test the strength of fishermen.

The highlight of the day is a visit to Kirkjufell, the iconic, church-shaped mountain, often recognized from Game of Thrones, with the stunning Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall at its base – perfect for family photos!

Finally, the tour circles around the majestic Snæfellsjökull Glacier, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of this famous volcano that inspired Jules Verne’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth.”

This is a perfect tour for families wanting to experience Iceland’s natural beauty with plenty of stops to keep everyone engaged and amazed. Book today for a fun-filled and unforgettable day!
