About this experience

The Reykjanes Peninsula, situated in the southwest corner of Iceland, home to both Keflavik International Airport and The Blue Lagoon, offers hidden treasures awaiting exploration.


A private tour unveils its wonders, from the bubbling mud pools of the Seltún geothermal field and Gunnuhver hot spring to the Bridge Between Continents and Lake Kleifarvatn.


Designated a UNESCO Global Geopark, the peninsula's extraterrestrial landscape, shaped by volcanic activity, evokes a sense of otherworldliness. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge emerges here, marking the division between Europe and North America, visible in the lava formations and fissures along the rugged terrain.


Before March 2021, the peninsula had gone over 700 years without eruptions. Remnants of past volcanic activity and recent events are evident, along with geothermal areas and a power plant exploring geothermal energy's potential. The Bridge Between Continents symbolizes the connection between continents, highlighting the peninsula's geological importance.


Optional Extras:

  • Icelandic Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum, Keflavik
  • Inside the Volcano, Volcano Crater Visit.

  • Apparently a lady ghost resides in Gunnuhver hot spring.
  • The Blue Lagoon is in the middle of a 700 year old lava field.

  • Keflavik international airport was built by the American Air Force during WW2 and was an airbase until 2006.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

Who this is not for

  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 07:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.
  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    I had an excellent experience with our tour guide and driver, ASGEIR, during our trip to Iceland. He was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable about the country's history, culture, and breathtaking natural attractions. ASGEIR made the journey enjoyable by sharing interesting stories and local insights throughout the tour. He was patient, friendly, and always ensured we were comfortable and had enough time to enjoy each stop. His driving was safe and smooth, even in challenging weather conditions, which made us feel secure throughout the trip. Thanks to ASGEIR, our visit to Iceland was not only beautiful but also truly memorable.

    I booked multiple private driver excursions with Snæland Travel for my family vacation to Iceland with 8 adults and 2 small children, and am very pleased with their service. It was a complicated collection of needs and desires for our 5 day stay in Reykjavik and Isabella and the rest of the sales team were fantastic at helping me design a set of tours as well as coordinating airport transfer on arrival and departure. They were responsive to all my questions and concerns, and they were even able to make last minute arrangements for my son whose flight was cancelled and arrived a day later. The Reykjanes Peninsula private tour, with our driver Mike, gave us a look at the raw intensity of the lava fields, steam vents, bubbling mud pits, and the jagged lava coastline. The Snæfellsnes Peninsula private tour, with our driver Tryggvi, showed us beautiful coastal cliffs and remote ancient lava fields softened by generations of moss and grass giving a spectacular mystical feel to the landscape. The Golden Circle private tour, with our driver Chris, took us to the most popular tour destinations - Þingvellir National Park where we walked along the tectonic rift, Great Geysir area where we watched Strokkur erupt and hot springs boil, and Gullfoss where some of us marveled at the power of the sprawling waterfall from the upper viewing area and some of us ventured down the stairs to the base of the falls to feel the spray as it crashed into the ravine. Chris was a fantastic driver, as he walked us to the viewing platforms to take group photos and gave us some insight as to what to expect at each stop. As a private driver experience we were able to make personal adjustments to the day, and during our planning phase Isabella added a 2 hour dinner stop where we enjoyed a Viking feast (the dinner reservation and cost of the meal was not part of the Snæland Travel experience). I would highly recommend Snæland Travel for any tours, and I definitely would suggest trying the private driver option in order to have more control over how long you spend at each stop or even if you want to add or skip stops as long as it fits the designated time frame. My large family enjoyed traveling around Iceland in the comfort of our private van with friendly drivers, and I am very grateful for the experience.

    Thank you very much for the driver - Saulius! He is a fantastic driver! He managed the bus with skill, was attentive to passengers' needs, and the whole trip was a pleasure thanks to him.
