Additional Information
Embark on a day-long voyage of discovery across Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the part of Iceland that sparked Jules Vernes’s imagination for his renowned novel “Journey to the Center of the Earth”.
Experience an extraordinary journey where you will have the chance to marvel at the 4,000-year-old Berserkjahraun lava field while gaining insight from your experienced guide. Stand in awe at one of Iceland’s most photographed locations, the Kirkjufell mountain and its waterfall, both of which feature in the popular TV series Game of Thrones.
Enjoy the thrill of climbing to the summit of an ancient volcanic crater to obtain a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding region and the glacier. We will also visit Djupalonssandur, a splendid black sand beach, and Arnarstapi, a charming and historical fishing village. With a stroke of luck, you might also encounter seals lounging on the Ytri-Tunga beach.

Snaefellsnes Peninsula Natural Park Day Tour - Smári was very helpful and informative throughout our journey. I would love to have him as a tour guide again.
He happened to have a couple of surprises at the end that were very enjoyable and made the end of the experience memorable!

The best day! - Fantastic day out, every single stop on the tour had its own beauty. Climbing the volcano crater, walking to the waterfalls, driving past the lava fields, meeting a colony of seals, sliding down the snow on my bum to a beautiful black sand beach 🤣
I have to say the absolute best part of the tour was having Smàri for our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly funny, it is a long drive but he keeps you enticed with his knowledge and stories. At our last stop he surprised us with a little treat and sang us a song while playing the guitar, what a wonderful end to a day I thought couldn’t get any better.
Smàri is also a very good driver, our bus was comfortable and as a bonus it had wifi.
Thank you for a day I’ll never forget :)

A Definite Must Whilst in Iceland - After an unexpected tour cancellation, we booked this tour as a last minute replacement and were not disappointed.
We’ve seen a different side of Iceland today whilst also experiencing 4 seasons in one day!
Spectacular views were accompanied by knowledgable and sometimes humorous commentary from our tour guide, Smári.
I would highly recommend this tour but a mediocre level of fitness is required, especially if you want to climb the stairs up to the top of Saxhóll Crater

Glad I did this tour! - I really loved this day trip, the areaw we visited were magnificent, without many people around. Smari, our tour guide, was amazing, he guided us around the places and he had always interesting stories to tell about the areas we visited. In the end of our trip, he gave us very good recommendations about places to eat and see around Reykjavík 😊
