Snæfellsnes national park

The Snæfellsnes national park is home to the seal colony, shark museum and the charming village of Stykkishólmur. On the Snæfellsnes Peninsula you can experience the vast nature of Iceland including Snæfellsjökull glacier, black sandy beaches, mountains and volcanic craters and much more.

Lóndrangar basalt cliffs

Lóndrangar are basalt columns from an ancient crater that have been eroded to their current form by the ocean.

Kirkjufell mountain

Kirkjufell is a cone shaped mountain and probably the most photographed one in Iceland. The mountain towers some 463 meters (1,519 ft.) above sea level and has been described as one of Iceland’s most beautiful mountains.

Ölkelda mineral spring

Ölkelda is a small town in the countryside of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Nearby you can find a natural mineral spring with carbonated water. It has been said that carbonated water has some healing properties so worry not and have a sip.

Arnarstapi and Hellnar rock formations

Arnarstapi and Hellnar are scenic rock formations and also home to the giant statue of the viking Bardur.

My wife and I just returned from four unforgettable days with Sveinn and Ivar—two days with each of these extraordinary guides—and the experience opened our minds in new ways. Our journey wove together epic highland hikes with shorter explorations of the South Coast’s most breathtaking treasures. Many of these hidden gems would have remained undiscovered without the expertise and passion of our guides, who not only led us to incredible places but also brought them to life through the rich history and folklore of Iceland. Iceland is a land of raw beauty—vast, dramatic, and untamed—and this trip demonstrated to us that it can’t be captured in a single visit. We’re already imagining our next adventure with Iceland Luxury Tours. Thank you Sveinn and Ivar!

Amazing Experience with Iceland Luxury Tours! I had the pleasure of having Ivar as my guide during my recent trip to Iceland, and I must say, it was an experience beyond my expectations. From the moment we met, Ivar provided more than just guiding services; he became a teacher, a storyteller, and a companion. His wealth of knowledge about Iceland's history, culture, politics, religion, and language was shared eloquently and precisely. His personal anecdotes and memories added a personal touch that made the trip truly special. Ivar created a safe and relaxed space for open conversations, some serious and impactful, and others lighthearted and humorous. He handled everything with ease and professionalism, making me feel comfortable and valued throughout the journey. I have no doubt that my trip to Iceland wouldn't have been the same without Ivar. His kindness, compassion, and mastery of his craft were evident every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Iceland Luxury Tours and Ivar to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Iceland. I look forward to my next trip and hope to have Ivar as my guide again. Thank you, Ivar, for an incredible experience! Amanda

My first trip to Iceland, I rented a car thinking I could do my first solo trip all on my own. However the first night there we got way more snow than I’ve ever seen in North Carolina and I was afraid to try to drive alone, especially in regions I wasn’t familiar with. Fortunately, Iceland Luxury Tours were able to pick me up last minute. The owner went out of his way to accommodate me and I cannot thank him enough. He was so polite, knowledgeable, and fun to be around it felt as if I spent the day with old time friends. They have all the proper equipment to trek through the terrains of Iceland regardless of the weather. My first day in Iceland, on my first solo trip ever, was literally saved by them and I could not recommend this company enough!

My wife and I spent 5 days touring Southern Iceland and staying at a different luxurious hotel every evening. We had an excellent 4WD Off-road vehicle and a wonderful guide Ivar Palsson. Ivar knew all the history of the different places and due to his history of hiking glaciers was also our personal guide to take my wife and I on the glacier. I have no hesitation to recommend Iceland Luxury Tours an Ivar if you want a hassle free luxury adventure 😊
