Reykjavik: Private Snaefellsnes Peninsula with Hvammsvik Hot Springs
The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is often called Iceland in miniature: a glacier-capped volcano, craters, sea arches, black beaches and one of the most photographed mountains in the country. This private tour pairs a full day on the peninsula with a soak at Hvammsvík Hot Springs on the way home. Your group gets a dedicated driver-guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you for the day. No fixed pace, no waiting for other passengers, no compromises. On the southern shore, Ytri Tunga is one of the few places in Iceland where you can often see harbour seals resting on the rocks. In Snæfellsjökull National Park you step into the narrow Rauðfeldsgjá gorge, see the Gatklettur sea arch at Arnarstapi and walk down to Djúpalónssandur, where black pebbles, the remains of a shipwreck and the old fishermen's lifting stones fill a sheltered cove. After the Hólahólar crater row and the staircase up Saxhóll Crater, you reach Kirkjufell, the arrowhead mountain above the fjord. On the drive back, the day ends at Hvammsvík Hot Springs in Hvalfjörður: natural geothermal pools set right at the shoreline, where you can warm up and relax before the short drive home. Throughout the day your driver-guide shares stories, sagas and practical tips about Iceland's nature, history and culture. Full details of each stop are in the itinerary. Pick-up and drop-off anywhere in the Capital Area, including the cruise terminals, is included. The order of stops may be adjusted on the day due to weather or road conditions. Choose a Private Sedan for 1-3 guests or a Private Van for up to 8 guests. One price per vehicle, not per person.
