About this experience

↓

This private full-day tour takes you deep into one of Iceland's most dramatic and storied landscapes — the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Travelling in your choice of a Super Jeep, Monster Truck, or Luxury SUV, your group enjoys an exclusive experience tailored entirely to your party, with hotel pickup included from the Reykjavík capital area.

The journey brings you to Ólafsvík, Iceland's oldest trading town, founded in 1687, and to Stykkishólmur, a charming fishing village perched on a promontory above the sweeping Breiðarfjörður Bay. Along the way, you'll stop at a local restaurant to sample fresh blue mussels — a regional speciality not to be missed.

The tour's centrepiece is the iconic Snæfellsjökull glacier, the glacier-capped volcano that crowns the peninsula and inspired Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Local legend holds that the glacier is a gateway to another world and home to elves, trolls, and other mythological beings — your guide will share the stories behind these magical places.

The route also takes in sandy coastlines, towering bird cliffs, fertile farmland, and a memorable tunnel drive. Whether you choose the off-road capability of the Super Jeep or Monster Truck, or the comfort of the Luxury SUV, the scenery and storytelling make this an unforgettable day on the peninsula.
