Snæfellsnes Peninsula – Luxury Full-Day Experience

A curated journey through Iceland’s wild west coast: golden beaches, volcanic cliffs & the iconic Kirkjufell

Often called “Iceland in Miniature,” the Snæfellsnes Peninsula gathers many of the country’s most dramatic landscapes into one unforgettable coastline. This refined full-day experience showcases its highlights at an unhurried, premium pace, pairing raw natural wonders with thoughtful guiding, comfortable travel, and elevated food stops along the way.

Your Luxury Day on the Peninsula

Ytri Tunga – Golden Sands & Wildlife

Begin your morning at Ytri Tunga, a serene stretch of golden shoreline known for its resident seals. The soft light, quiet waves, and contrast of sand and lava rock create a calm and elegant introduction to the west coast.

Bjarnarfoss – A Ribbon of Water Over Lava Cliffs

Continue inland to Bjarnarfoss, where a long silver cascade spills over dramatic basalt cliffs. Surrounded by open farmland and distant mountains, it’s a striking blend of volcanic terrain and tranquil scenery.

Búðakirkja – The Iconic Black Church

Arrive at Búðakirkja, the minimalist black church set against sweeping lava fields and glacier views. Its stark silhouette and quiet isolation make it one of the most atmospheric and photogenic locations in Iceland.

Arnarstapi – Sea Cliffs, Arches & All-Inclusive Lunch

In the charming coastal hamlet of Arnarstapi, you’ll enjoy an included lunch featuring warm, comforting dishes in a cosy local setting, an ideal pause with ocean views. This dining experience caters to all tastes, with vegan and vegetarian options available as well.
Afterward, take a gentle guided walk along the cliffs, exploring natural stone arches, sculpted basalt formations, and the thriving seabird colonies that make this coastline so dramatic and memorable.

Into Iceland’s Volcanic West

Lóndrangar – Basalt Towers Rising from the Sea

A short drive away, the towering basalt peaks of Lóndrangar rise above the Atlantic, ancient volcanic remnants shaped by centuries of ocean erosion and wrapped in local folklore.

Djúpalónssandur – Black Pebbles & Atlantic Power

Return to the coastline at Djúpalónssandur, a rugged black-pebble beach surrounded by jagged cliffs and powerful waves. Shipwreck remnants and historic lifting stones add depth to this dramatic oceanside stop.

Saxhóll Crater – Panoramic Views Across Lava Fields

Climb the gently graded steps to the rim of Saxhóll Crater for sweeping views of ancient lava fields, rugged coastline, and, on clear days, the glacier-topped Snæfellsjökull. It’s one of the peninsula’s best panoramic viewpoints.

Kirkjufell – The Signature Finale

Your luxury day concludes at Kirkjufell, the famously symmetrical mountain paired with the graceful cascades of Kirkjufellsfoss. It’s one of Iceland’s most photographed landscapes for good reason, a calm, iconic ending before your comfortable return to Reykjavík.

FAQ

Explore our FAQ section to learn more about our services, booking process, and what to expect on your journey with Easy Transfer.

For private tours, your guide will pick you up directly outside your selected pickup location at the scheduled time. Please be ready on time to ensure a smooth start.

We recommend dressing for Icelandic weather, which can change quickly. Wind, sunshine, snow, and rain can all show up in a single day. Warm, layered clothing is especially important during the winter season, and comfortable shoes are essential, as many stops involve short walks on uneven ground.

We’ll make regular stops along the way for food and drinks to keep everyone energized. Some tours include lunch (check the tour inclusions), and if not, we’ll stop at our go-to local spots for a proper bite to eat.

Our tours are designed to run in a wide range of conditions. Iceland’s climate can shift quickly, and when it does, parts of a trip may need to be adapted. If that happens, we’ll aim to keep the experience as close to the original plan as possible or offer comparable alternatives.

Challenging weather is part of what makes Iceland unique, and it doesn’t automatically stop us from operating. However, guest and staff safety is always the deciding factor. Wind strength and road safety are closely monitored, and guides may shorten or end a tour if conditions become risky. If a tour cannot continue, a full or partial refund will be applied based on the circumstances.

Yes, private tours can often be tailored to your preferences. If you’d like to adjust stops or timing, please let us know in advance so we can confirm what’s possible.

Tours can be canceled free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable.

The Northern Lights are one of nature’s wild cards, incredible, but never guaranteed. While sightings can’t be promised, we’ll happily point out good viewing areas and keep you informed about solar activity and cloud forecasts to give you the best possible chance.

Tipping isn’t expected in Iceland, but it’s always appreciated when someone feels their guide went the extra mile. There’s no standard amount, it’s entirely up to you and what feels right. Cash tips are welcome in any currency.

Another great way to support both your guide and Easytransfer is by sharing your experience. Recommending us to others or leaving a review on platforms like TripAdvisor, Google, or Facebook genuinely makes a difference, and of course, telling friends about a great trip never hurts.
