Full-Day Minibus Tour of Snaefellsnes & Kirkjufell from Reykjavík

About the Activity

What to Expect

Discover the West of Iceland with our full-day minibus tour of Snæfellsnes and Kirkjufell. As you settle into our comfortable minibus, equipped with Free WiFi and spacious seating, you will journey through the dramatic lava field of Berserkjahraun, a place steeped in Viking legends. Our experienced English-speaking guide will narrate the stories of the legendary "berserkers" who forged Iceland's first road here, before we traverse the rural highland pass to reach the northern side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Our first major highlight is the epic "arrowhead" mountain Kirkjufell. This magnificent peak, rising 463 meters above sea level, offers a breathtaking view that is a photographer's dream. After absorbing the stunning scenery, we proceed to one of the peninsula's most captivating spots—the black pebble beach of Djúpalónssandur. Here, the roaring ocean waves and tales of shipwrecks add to the beach's mystique. Our adventure continues to the charming fishing village of Arnarstapi, where you will have the chance to walk along the scenic coastline and visit the unique Miðgjá Stone Bridge.

As we head eastward, we stop to admire the 19th-century Búðakirkja church, a picturesque landmark nestled amidst the wild Icelandic landscape. Next, we visit Ytri-Tunga, home to a colony of playful seals, before making a brief stop in the town of Borgarnes for a taste of an excellent Icelandic hot dog. Our journey concludes with a return to Reykjavík, making this tour ideal for those seeking a comprehensive exploration of Iceland's natural wonders.
