West Iceland & Snæfellsnes National Park - Private Tour One-day tour

Description

Iceland‘s Most Magical Area in a Private Tour

No matter how much reading or preparation you’ve done for your dream destination, there’s nothing that really substitutes a well-organized guided tour. But we know travelling in large groups of people is not everybody´s cup of tea. For those who prefer more time with their guide, a little more flexibility in the schedule and to enjoy the experience in their own company, our private tours are the perfect fit. 

Snæfellsnes National Park

On a clear day in Reykjavik, in the far distance across the bay from the city‘s harbour, lies a glorious peninsula of jagged mountains and one mighty picturesque glacier. This is Snæfellsnes peninsula, the most magical of all peninsulas (or so say we). It has inspired fiction and fantasy for centuries, from elven folk lore to 20th century hippie alien conventions. This is a destination like no other, a place so beautiful it seems to belong to another dimension. 

A Tasting Menu of Iceland

The National Park of Snæfellsnes is an incredibly diverse area and in many ways, it showcases some of Iceland’s most unique and charismatic features. It’s full of ancient, mossy lava fields, charming and colourful fishing villages, glorious mountains, black sandy beaches and spectacular views in all directions. Many of the sights in Snæfellsnes have become their own Instagram stars, such as Kirkjufell mountain, Djúpalónssandur’s black sand, not to mention, the area’s ruling king, Snæfellsjökull glacier. 

The Star of the Show

In the middle of this beautiful peninsula sits Snæfellsjökull, the stunning glacier that seems to wield its own atmosphere. Its sheer presence and magical aura features heavily in Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth and Nobel Laureate Halldór Laxness’ Under the Glacier. The tour offers numerous views of this beautiful landmark. It is after all the real star of the show.

Inspiration and Information

This 12-hour tour offers numerous stops through this diverse and rich area with a professional guide to lead the way. A private tour means more time with your guide and more flexibility for your time, interests and stops. If you only have one day outside the city, this packed day tour is an excellent choice.
