Desde el puerto de Reikiavik: tour privado por la Costa Sur

Discover the changing landscapes of Snæfellsnes, where fishing villages, volcanic craters, and rugged shores bring a different side of Iceland into view. From the black church at Búðir to the distinctive outline of Kirkjufell, this journey offers plenty of reasons to pause and reach for your camera.

Starting from Grundarfjörður Cruise Port, explore a peninsula associated with Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Travel with a knowledgeable guide and discover the scenery and stories that give this region its character.

Your Adventure Begins in Grundarfjörður

Meet your guide at Grundarfjörður Cruise Port and settle in for a day of exploring Snæfellsnes. A custom departure time can be arranged if needed.

This tour departs from Grundarfjörður, not Reykjavík. Before setting out, please share your ship’s required return time with your guide so the day can be planned around your visit.

Ytri Tunga: Watch for Seals

Begin your coastal discoveries at Ytri Tunga, a beach known for its visiting seals.

Look along the shoreline for seals resting on the rocks or moving through the water. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the chance to observe them in their natural surroundings makes this a rewarding place to pause.

Búðir: A Little Black Church

At Búðir, a small black church stands against the open landscape.

Take time to appreciate its simple shape and striking setting. The dark exterior and surrounding scenery make this a memorable stop for photographs.

Bjarnarfoss: Water Falling from the Cliffs

Continue to Bjarnarfoss, where water tumbles down a tall mountainside.

Look up towards the falls and take in the contrast between the flowing water and the rocky slopes. It is another glimpse of the varied scenery found across the peninsula.

Arnarstapi: A Village by the Sea

Explore Arnarstapi, a former fishing hub where village history meets a dramatic coastline.

Discover the coastal rock formations and take in views of the cliffs as your guide shares stories of the settlement and its connection to the sea.

Djúpalónssandur: A Volcanic Shore

At Djúpalónssandur, dark stones and lava formations create a striking coastal landscape.

Follow the designated paths and admire the shapes carved into the volcanic rock. Take time to enjoy the views while following your guide’s instructions around the shoreline.

Saxhóll: A View into the Volcanic Past

Visit Saxhóll, a volcanic crater that offers a closer look at the forces behind the landscape.

For those who wish to climb the steps, the viewpoint provides an opportunity to look across the surrounding terrain and appreciate the scale of the peninsula’s volcanic scenery.

Kirkjufell: An Unmistakable Landmark

See Kirkjufell, whose distinctive shape has made it one of Iceland’s most recognisable mountains.

Known to many visitors from its appearance in Game of Thrones, the mountain offers a memorable setting for photographs and a fitting highlight of your Snæfellsnes journey.

A Flexible Day of Discovery

Your guide may adjust the route or change stops according to the weather, crowds, and available time.

A flexible approach helps make the most of the conditions while keeping the day comfortable and enjoyable.

Return to Grundarfjörður

After exploring the peninsula, travel back to Grundarfjörður Cruise Port for your ship’s departure.

Please communicate your required return time in advance so your guide can plan the journey accordingly.
