About this experience

Discover the wild beauty of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula on this full-day, 12-hour guided tour from Reykjavík — conducted entirely in Chinese. This summer minibus tour takes small groups of up to 19 passengers through some of West Iceland's most celebrated landscapes.

Your journey begins at Ytri Tunga, a golden sandy beach where wild seals are frequently spotted resting along the shore. From there, the route continues to Búðir, where a striking black church stands alone amid ancient lava fields, framed by mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.

Next, the tour moves along the coast to Arnarstapi, a dramatic stretch of sea cliffs and rock formations, before arriving at Djúpalónssandur — a black pebble beach scattered with the rusted remains of a shipwreck and the historic lifting stones once used to test the strength of local fishermen.

The day also includes a visit to Ingjaldshóll Church, one of Iceland's historically significant sites, before the tour reaches its scenic finale: the unmistakable silhouette of Kirkjufell mountain rising beside the cascading Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall — among the most photographed scenes in all of Iceland.
