Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Meet a driver at your hotel in Reykjavik, then begin the 93-mile (150-km) trip to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, a tranquil retreat from the bustling city. The first stop of the day is the black sand beach of Djupalónssandur, where the rock worn smooth by countless waves, to learn about its rich history.

Then drive to Kirkjufell, a stunningly-formed mountain peak whose name means "Church Mountain," and looms behind the scenic waterfalls at the base.

As you drive, Snæfellsjökull will dominate the horizon as you travel, and you’ll find stunning views of the ancient stratovolcano, which is capped with a shining glacier. Stop at the Londrangar viewpoint to admire the rock formations.

The final stop is the village of Arnarstapi, for a scenic walk along a row of jagged cliffs. Then begin the return trip to Reykjavik, where this tour concludes with drop-off at your original departure point.

Dritvik and Djupalonssandur
See the black sand beach Djúpalónssandur with it's rich history. Once a popular area for fishing, the sea is now empty as boats have moved elsewhere. All that remains is the wreckage of a British trawler on the black sands, and several 'lifting stones'. These lifting stones would have been used to test the strength of potential fishermen and now you can try and see if you would have made the cut too!

Spectacular natural scenery along a remote peninsula
DaveAH6HY

"Iceman" was an excellent guide with great personalized service. Added a couple extra stops at some places most tourists don't get to see since we were a relatively small group (now is the time to visit Iceland before the crowds return!). Especially appreciated his attempts to call a couple vendors on our behalf to sort out some personal requests. Definitely recommend with an enthusiastic thumbs up!

This is my 3rd trip with Mr Howser from Bustravel Iceland. Again it was a most delightful experience. I felt like daydreaming, being driven through an amazing landscape while enjoying Mr Howsers narrations from Icelandic sagas and history. We were a small group, almost like on a private trip, and had extra stops to bring the sagas alive. This trip, like all the others I did with Bustravel Iceland, are great value for money and I highly recommend them.

We are sorry you were unable to go on this tour due to the storm. The safety of our guests and staff is our number one priority. As we don't want to disappoint our guests we offered the option to switch to another tour. So we are very saddened to see this one star review of our services.

Adventurous tour to Snaefellsnes Peninsula!

Great driver. The weather was a bit unsettling: ice and snow. However, safety is their prime importance. Took us to some amazing vistas and even more sights not on itinerary. A full day of adventure and comfort. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is absolutely beautiful. Don't hesitate to go on this tour!

Early pick up for this trip, so careful planning if you are out late for the northern lights tours the night before! Long coach trip but lots of stop offs to take a walk and take photos. Places to go to the toilet and get food as well. Lovely tour but it would probably have been better if not all covered in snow/ waterfalls frozen etc. Icy roads a bit scary but excellent driving skills from the coach driver! Very friendly driver, good commentary and information. Another amazing day, well recommend it.
