Private Day Trip to Snæfellsnes Peninsula with Glacier and Waterfall

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on a magical day trip to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, a landscape rich with glacial and volcanic wonders. Our comfortable bus, equipped with spacious seating and panoramic windows, sets the stage as we travel towards the enigmatic Snæfellsjökull glacier. This majestic glacier, crowned by a dormant volcano, offers breathtaking views and is steeped in mystical lore. As we journey further, our next stop is the iconic Gatklettur rock formation, where you can marvel at the natural arch carved by the sea, and the picturesque Búðakirkja church, a black wooden chapel standing in stark contrast to its surroundings.

Continuing our adventure, we visit Djúpalónssandur, a dramatic black pebble beach where the crashing waves create a symphony of sound. Here, you can explore the unique rock formations and remnants of a shipwreck, a testament to the beach's storied past. As we proceed, we arrive at the enchanting Kirkjufell Mountain and the serene Hraunsfjörður fjord. Kirkjufell, with its distinctive shape, is one of Iceland's most photographed mountains, and the fjord provides a tranquil setting to absorb its beauty.

Our day trip is ideal for families, friends, and nature lovers eager to experience the peninsula's allure. From the comfort of our super jeep, you'll witness the raw beauty of Iceland's landscapes and create lasting memories at each unique stop.
