Itinerary
The journey starts by kicking off North through the famous tunnel under the Whale Fjord. After a scenic drive bus stops for short break in the town of Borgarnes laying on the small peninsula.
Within a short drive from Borgarnes the true magic of Snæfellsnes Peninsula begins. Yti-tunga is a charming farm with nearby beach housing seal colony. Perfect place for animal lovers!
Búðakirkjan Black Church is by many considered the most beautiful church in Iceland.
A natural harbor surrounded by stunning landscapes. Beautiful rock formations decorate the coastline, spotted with green-and-yellow moss. Here one can stroll along the cliffs and take a perfect picture or simply enjoy the atmosphere of remote fishing village.
This is the place where two basalt columns mark the coast, so they can be even seen from the road. This is also another perfect stop for animal lovers - cliffs are famous of being house to many species of birds and air is filled with their sounds
Gorgeous black beach located within boarders of Snæfellsjökull National Park. While walking along the black sand beach one can find a curiosity on the beach: four large lifting stones used to measure the strength of fishermen you used to live in the area.
Pass by: In order to reach the northern part of the peninsula tour will take you on the ride around Snæfellsjökull Strato-Volcano, one of the most powerful ones in Iceland (luckily not active these days) covered by the glacier cap.
Kirkjufell (Church Mountain) accompanied by Kirkjufoss (Church Waterfall) is one the most known and picture-perfect location in Iceland. It got a lot of international attention after being featured in many Hollywood and TV productions - like in Games of Throne just to start with.

Traveler reviews
an absolutely wonderful tour with a fabulous guide
we were hesitant about a long day tour, and the description and pictures of the peninsula just does not do it justice. the beauty of the peninsula is breathtaking, deep green volcanic hills, expansive vistas of the see, and best of all, for summer, hardly any tourists. Philip was great, witty, sometimes serious, and filling in the long drive with his beautiful accompanying music that suited what we were seeing. the drive was long, but not much walking if you didnt want to. thanks so much!
Great tour, great tour guide
Very lovely tour. Our guide Sami, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the tour. He kept us informed and entertained. It was a great day despite the weather.
That playlist tho
Filip was excellent, arrived early at our pick up and took great care of our family. He gave helpful tips and local recommendations and was humorous and educated us a great deal. And his playlist was fire.
