About this experience

People sometimes refer to this excursion as the "all in one" tour as we see many of the things that make Iceland unique. It's a long day but it's worth it.

We will see black sand beaches, the famous Kirkjufell mountain, drive through the Snæfellsnes national park with the Snæfellsjökull volcano looming over us. Snæfellsjökull was the entrance to the center of the world in the famous Jules Verne story. Lots of folklore surround this mythical region of iceland including Bárður Snæfellsáss, the demigod protector of seafarers and glacier goers.

We will see strange rock formations in the ocean, a product of volcanic eruptions and ocean erosion, but local folklore has a different story to say about them.

You can try your strength by seeing the heaviest stone you can lift and that used to be an estimate for how strong the Vikings were, are you as strong as a viking?

Stop and fill your bottles at a fountain coming out of a cold spring that naturally produces carbonated water, it's one of a kind in the world.

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 a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 12 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
  • 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.
