Look out for other wildlife, including - if you are lucky - seals!

Snaefellsnes Peninsula is one of the most beautiful areas in Iceland. Often referred to as "Iceland in a nutshell" due to its great variety of landscape, it is a great off-the-beaten-track region to visit on a private Jeep tour from Reykjavik. Your first stop on this Private Snaefellsnes Peninsula Tour is Gerduberg, a place famous for its huge basalt columns. You will have some time here to admire the huge basalt columns, before you continue on our journey. You will then stop in Budir, where a black wooden church stands surrounded by spectacular moss-covered lava fields. Following this, you will enter the Snafellsjokull National Park where you will drive through some amazing landscapes with your comfortable jeep. You will then stop in the old fishing village of Arnarstapi, located at the foot of the mystic Snaefellsjokull glacier. This charming village offers great photo opportunities, as you walk along its spectacular sea cliffs and enjoy the view of the majestic Snaefellsjokull. The glacier is mentioned in Jules Verne's novel Journey to the Center of the Earth as the entrance to the center of the earth itself. Your Snaefellsnes Peninsula tour will then continue to volcano craters, black beaches, lighthouses, beautiful cliffs, and the famous Kirkjufell, the most photographed mountain in Iceland. You will then drive to hidden places you will not see on a bus tour, and if you are lucky, we will get to see some seals or even whales before your return trip to Reykjavik in the evening.

In one day, you will experience diverse Icelandic scenery. Volcanic Craters, Arnarstapi sea cliffs, bird live and costal rocks, Black sand of Djúpalónssandur, the majestic peak of Kirkjufell which is shaped like an arrowhead, the seal colony and birds live, the black church, lava fields of Berserkjahraun etc. Snæfellsnes National Park is a peninsula in Western Iceland. The peninsula is a detour from the ring-road, worth visiting. You will witness breathtaking attractions. Snæfellsjökull the glacier which is the main attraction and one of a three volcanic systems on the peninsula. It is now an active independent volcanic system away from the main Atlantic rift system. The glacier itself is a cone shaped volcano which erupted last time 1700 years ago. Snæfellsjökull and its surroundings was the first national park established in Iceland and known as the Jewel of the West. Attractions are also the iconic black church to the towering Kirkjufell mountain which was made popular by Game of Thrones. Others are are dramatic sea cliffs/rocks with spectacular bird life , fishing villages, colorful beaches and Volcanic lava landscapes with moss.

After hotel pickup in Reykjavik, we head on towards the peninsula. On route there is a bakery producing one of three best cinnamon rolls in Iceland. This tour has a lot of optional stops as a one day tour can not include all the wanders of Snæfellsnes. On a clear day there is a fantastic view on a mountain pass, a lake, a lava field, a few volcanic creators and the ocean in-between majestic mountains. In summer it is possible to use a dirt road and visit a lava field. Close by there lives a family that invented the fermented shark (about six generations ago). They now have a great private museum on everything shark related in Iceland. We drive over a bridge, shaped like a viking sord (if seen from above) on our way to church mountain (Kirkjufell). The pointy mount with the waterfall in foreground has become quite famous in recent years, has even made an appearance on TV show Game of Thrones. For lunch I would recommend a local, family restaurant, next to the harbor, for fresh fish. After lunch we continue around the end of the peninsula, optional stop would be the western most part of it. In western wind the waves of the sea slam the lava cliffs and show the power of nature. On a calm, clear day the view from the top of volcano Saxhóll, includes a horizon of the ocean, over 200 degrees. Djúpalónssandur is a black pebble beach, quite similar to the end of the world. Framed with lava cliffs, it offers a unique connection to nature and to one self. A great viewpoint is Svalþufa and it has an optional walk past the Lóndrangar, basalt pillars, to the visitor center at Malarrif. Another optional stop would be the lava cave Vatnshellir. Arnarstapi is a wonderful place to visit, the waves of the sea ponder cliffs of basalt columns, making a walk along the waterfront magnificent. An optional extended walk would reach Hellnar and the lovely little café Fjöruhúsið. The black church at Budir is next up, as it rests on the edge of a lava field, next to a yellow sand beach (quite rare in Iceland). Close by the waterfall Bjarnafoss cascades over a mountain edge and can be seen from below. Before heading back towards Reykjavík, it is possible to stop by at your guides house for a cup of tea and see an Icelandic home.
