One single peninsula with everything that makes Iceland unique and magical? Yes! That’s exactly what the Snæfellsnes Peninsula offers; that is why it is known as “Iceland in miniature.”


In this tour, you’ll experience black sand beaches, waterfalls, lava fields, and volcanoes all at once. To top it all off, you'll see the glacier that inspired Jules Verne himself to write Journey to the Center of the Earth. And let’s not forget Kirkjufell, arguably Iceland’s most photographed mountain and a famous filming location for the Game of Thrones series (does “Arrowhead Mountain” ring a bell?).


Other destinations in this tour include Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall, Ytri Tunga beach, Djúpalónssandur, Lóndrangar pinnacles, Arnarstapi harbor and sea cliffs, and the eerie Búðir Black Church.


Walk where the Vikings once roamed. Experience the raw and dramatic landscape with a local guide who knows all the stories and sagas behind the sites. Svona er Snæfellsnes – this is Snæfellsnes. Come see for yourself.
