With departure times around noon, this tour is ideal if you had a long day the day before. If you want to learn more about history and geology, you can upgrade the driver to one of our educated tour guides. During winter, the days are short, but we will take you to the sites in time so you can see and enjoy them before going on to hunt for the northern lights. As the name suggests, it is a hunt, which, with bad luck, may not be successful, but the thrill of looking out and chasing holes in the clouds while waiting for the lights can be an experience in itself. Remember to dress accordingly. Even though there are paths, sturdy shoes are advisable since they can be very slippery in winter, hence the name Iceland. A wind- and waterproof outer layer is also always a good idea over a warm layer, as you may be outside for a while waiting for the lights to show and, of course, walking between the tectonic plates.

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a location where nature, history, and folklore converge, creating a place of rugged beauty and mysterious charm. Exploring the area through a private tour with a knowledgeable driver is an excellent way to experience its extensive offerings. The drive is remarkably scenic, with a landscape that unfolds as a wonderful symphony of extinct volcanoes, hot springs, craters, and lava fields formed during volcanic activities in the distant past. Possible stops include the rock formations at Gerðuberg, the black church at Búðir, and the seals at Ytri Tunga beach. The fishing villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar serve as reminders of Iceland's history as a fishing nation. Further out, Djúpalónssandur beach offers a breathtaking view, where a lava flow from the great volcano met the ocean, creating a natural harbour. On the northern side of the peninsula lies the much photographed Kirkjufell, a cone-shaped mountain near the fishing village of Grundarfjörður.

Nestled between ice caps on mountain ridges and some of Iceland's most formidable volcanoes, the road into Þórsmörk nature reserve runs alongside Eyjafjallajökull. After turning off the Ring Road, it passes beautiful waterfalls, usually including a visit to Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The great Krossá river meanders through this area with hillsides adorned with natural birch trees and lava rock sculpted by glacial water. After a day of hiking or super-truck-cruising through the Lord-of-the-Rings-like Þórsmörk, you can relax and await the appearance of the Northern Lights in the sky above the glaciers. Alternatively, depending on the time of year, you can bask in the magnificence of this microcosmos illuminated by the midnight sun. While the Golden Circle and the South Shore are undoubtedly great tours, this private tour provides a slightly different experience. It offers a taste of Iceland off the main road, allowing you to explore some of the last wilderness areas left in Europe.

What are people saying about Reykjavik

Kelly_K, Jul 2026

Great way to view lots of puffins!

This quick tour was just great. The guide on the boat gave us great information about puffins while we made our way to a small island that was just teeming with the adorable little birds. We saw tons of puffins- flying, diving, swimming and nesting- it was just what we wanted- plus we got great photos taken by the guide with a professional camera after the tour.

Speedboat Whale Watching Small-Group Tour in Reykjavik

Katie_K, Jul 2026

Absolutely incredible

This is an incredible way to see whales! You are able to get so much closer than a regular boat. We were actually splashed by the whales! We saw multiple humpbacks and a few minke. It is very rocky and one of us got very sick over the side of the boat. The captain was very nice about it. We did see lots of puffins as well!

Small-Group South Coast & Glacier Hike Tour from Reykjavik

Emily_Z, Jun 2026

What To Know Before

You have the opportunity to get wet so bring waterproof clothing and/or a change of clothes. Lunch was available at the Black Sand Beach Restaurant but it is a long day so bring snacks and water. You can leave your belongings in the van at each stop so you don’t have to worry about lugging around a large bag everywhere. For the glacier hike bring ankle supported hiking boots, otherwise you will have to pay about $15 to rent some when you get to the glacier. Our tour guide Sergei was so amazing and helped us so much during the trip! Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it!

The Lava Tunnel Tour - Raufarhólshellir

Sridhar_P, Jun 2026

Tour experience

Tour guide and he his knowledgeable narrative in the short 1hrs tour was very good. The lava tunnel with the lights, walking platform, spectacular details inside, the silence mode at the end and preview to the extreme tour were all worth it. 1hrs goes by as it was 15min.. If you are not claustrophobic extreme tour might be life long memory. Tour is worth every bit of time and $$ spend

Red Lava Horse Riding Tour From Reykjavik

terese_c, May 2026

Amazing Memorable Experience

Absolutely phenomenal tour! The three young women who ran the day were professional, friendly, helpful and skilled. The horses were well trained and patient with all of us inexperienced riders. We felt very safe and in good hands. We had a generous amount of time on the trails. And the red lava scenery was amazing,……like out of a movie. This was my most memorable excursion on the trip…..and I’ve had many wonderful excursions to compare it to.

Fantastic experience

Absolutely amazing! So glad we did this, as I’ll admit I was a bit dubious! Our guide Adrian was absolutely fantastic! He was so good with all of our group, making sure we were all water tight and the equipment fit well. He was attentive through out, making sure everyone was okay. I would highly recommend this trip, especially with Artic Adventures. Everything was great from pickup to drop off. Such a wonderful experience and the whole team were great!
