- Snæfellsnes - After picking you up from the selected pickup point in Reykjavik, we will head towards the western region of Iceland known for its dramatic landscapes - the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.
-
Kirkjufell Mountain - Prepare your cameras for the most photographed mountain in the country!
Our first highlight of the day is a 463m-high mountain on the north coast of Iceland’s Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður.
The name Kirkjufell means “Church Mountain” as it is considered to resemble a church. -
Djupalonssandur Beach - Our next highlight is a sandy beach and bay on the foot of Snæfellsjökull glacier in Iceland.
Your guide will tell you some interesting stories about the fishing village and of shipwrecks that lie on the beach. -
Budakirkja - Just headed to the east side, we will stop at Búðakirkja, the 19th-century church.
The original church was built in 1703 but, due to a lack of attendees, the church was torn down and rebuilt in 1987.
In recent years this minimalistic building surrounded by mountains and the rough nature of Iceland became a very popular object for photographers, so don’t forget to take a few shots for your gallery there! -
Arnarstapi - Our next stop is a smaller fishing village Arnarstapi.
We will be able to enjoy the walk on the scenic coastline and the opportunity to visit Miðgjá stone bridge, a natural rock arch off the coast.

A beautiful tour with breathtaking views - This was a beautiful tour and our guide, Guna, was the best, sharing not only details about the places we visited, but also about Iceland's history, culture and life at large. It was a highly informative trip, and driving around this amazing landscape with Snæfellsjökull dominating the backdrop, is in itself a wonderful experience.

Unforgettable day - It was definitely worth going with the small group on a tour to SNAEFELLSNES & KIRKJUFELL during my short stay in Reykjavik in May 26, 2025. Although the stops were short due to distance we had to cover in one day, they were packed with beautiful views and unforgettable impressions. Thanks to our guide and driver for his patience and punctuality.

Beautiful tour - We did this tour as part of the 3 Day - Iceland Bucket List Tour. This was our first full day in Iceland and all of the spots exceeded our expectations. The landscape was beautiful all throughout the tour but specially the Church Mountain and the black sand beach. We also got to see some seals, and even a whale fin in the background of one of our pictures! Our guide Slavi was very friendly, gave lots of information and made tour fun.

Good tour but not much to see - The tour and the guide really well but there really isn't much to see I consider the golden circle tour much more worthwhile

Not the best - Did this trip as part of the 3 day bucket list tour package and this was the first day. The tour felt extremely rushed as straight from the get-go we were behind schedule due to pick ups taking over an hour! This was very frustrating as everyone has spent lots of money on this tour and none of us were to blame for this, so minus points to the company for organisational skills. The tour itself also wasn't too fascinating. Lot's of churches and open fields, if I was to recommend Iceland to someone new I'd definitely say to skip this day. Our tour guide also wasn't the best. I understand that part of their job is to talk about the area and history, however nearly 12 hours of non stop talking through the microphone gets very frustrating.
