Join us as we head west on a full day magical mystical tour to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and surroundings.
Countless lunar landscapes and volcanic vistas lie in store for us as we drive west out of Reykjavik and head towards the magnificent Snæfellsjökull glacier.
The glacier sits atop the active stratovolcano of the same name that took centre stage in the Jules Verne sci-fi novel, ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’. You might even have spotted the ice cap glittering from across the bay in Reykjavik.
Savour the moment in front of Iceland's most famous and most photographed mountain: Kirkjufell. Made legendary in Game of Thrones, this free-standing mountain is a photo opportunity like no other.
Let yourself be surprised by the beautiful Leynifoss (also known as "the Sheep’s Waterfall"), the wonderful views of the Selvallavatn lake and the immense lava field on the other side of it.
Snaefellsnes is an area is of exceptional geological beauty – craters, lava fields (some more recent than others) idyllic, hidden coves and bizarre rock formations all lie in wait to be explored and discovered.
Local legends and folk stories abound are an essential element of this multifaceted tour, which hits the spot when it comes to observing volcanic phenomena, discovering Iceland’s dramatic coast line and experiencing a more spiritual and mystical side of Iceland.
Food is not included in the private tour price but can be added for 4,000 ISK per person.
Dress according to weather
The Snaefellsnes peninsula offers various sights and one could easily spend three days in the area without fully exploring. By booking a private tour (minibus up to 19 passangers) it is a lot easier to tailor make the tour to each groups needs and wants.
Our bestselling tour, Snaefellsnes with local dinner included, covers all the highlights and is a good benchmark for the perfect day tour in the area. Send us your thoughts via eastwest@eastwest.is and we will plan the best day for you :)
