5.00My favorite place in Iceland from now on. If I am coming back again definitely would love to stay in the North and explore more. Very beautiful sceneries, wildlife and atmosphere I really enjoyed. Guides were also very nice and helpful.
The trip felt a bit long,...

5.00I booked this tour last minute and I am so glad I did! Maria, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and informative when it came to Icelandic history & folklore as well as the wildlife and geography of the areas we stopped at. If you are debating on whether or not to book it, you will miss out if you don’t!
Thomas is the man!

5.00Lovely small minibus tour of the west of Iceland. Driver was right mix of information and sitting back to enjoy the journey listening to a great mix of music. Just about the right amount of time at each place and very relaxed. I would say scenery is more stunning and untouched than the south coast. Definitely recommend this tour
What a great trip!!!

5.00Guna our guide was very professional and knowledgeable about all that we saw. She drove extremely well, was really friendly and gave a great commentary. Guna provided really clear timings between stops. What we saw was really interesting with absolutely stunning scenery. I found it a much more interesting and spectacular than the Golden Circle tour for instance. We were lucky enough to experience fabulous weather as well as getting to see seals in and out of the water. I would absolutely recommend this tour, this tour operator and specifically Guna.
Must do!

5.00This tour takes you everywhere on the peninsula, which seemed less touristy than the hotspots on your Golden Circle/South Coast tours, meaning often we had some spots all to ourselves! It was beautiful and our guide Dovilė even threw in an extra crater along the way since the weather was good passing by. I learned many cool facts from our awesome guide. 10/10 experience and very well worth it!!!
THOR Thw Tour guide!

5.00Ask for Thor — he’s exceptional Thor was an exceptional guide on our Snaefellsnes and Kirkjufell small‑group tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing Iceland’s history and culture. Every stop — from the Black Sand Beach to the Red Roof Church to Arnarstapi Fishing Village came alive through his insightful stories and warm, authentic personality. He was professional, attentive, patient, and charismatic in a way that made the entire day feel personal and unforgettable. This was one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had, and Thor was a huge part of why. Highly recommended.

5.00An excellent tour of the peninsula. Tom was an excellent, friendly and knowledgeable driver and guide. We had more than adequate time at each stop - and of course it was a huge thrill to see Kirkufjell for me, being a Game of Thrones fan. Highly recommended.
