This tour takes you west from Reykjavik on a scenic route to Borgarfjorour and the village of Borgarnes where a short stop will be made for refreshments. Shortly after entering Snafellsnes peninsula, by Ytri-Tunga Farm, you'll get a chance to spot local wildlife at the beach which is home to a seal colony and a variety of sea birds. Next up is a visit to the idyllic Arnarstapi village where you'll take a walk to view the extraordinary landscape along the precipitous shoreline and where a break will be made for lunch. After lunch, the tour continues to Djupalonssandur, a tranquil, black-pebbled beach that offers beautiful views out to the sea and fascinating history that lies in the Snafellsjokull National Park, close to where Jules Verne located his entrance for the "Journey to the Centre of the Earth".

Surrounded by exceptionally beautiful mountains Grundarfjordur is home to one of the peninsula's most iconic and photographed landmarks, the symmetrical mountain Kirkjufellthat towers 1500 ft. up from the shoreline. Out of here, the route lies across Berserkjahraun lava fields that according to Viking legends where two Swedish "Berserks" forged Iceland‘s first road and over to the south side of the peninsula through Vatnaleio pass.
