Snaefellsnes Peninsula
About This Tour
Discover why Snaefellsnes is called "Iceland in Miniature"—this remarkable peninsula contains nearly every landscape Iceland has to offer within a single day's journey. A mystical glacier watches over fishing villages, dramatic coastlines, lava fields, and mountains that have inspired artists and writers for centuries. This is where Jules Verne set the entrance to his "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and where scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed. Our carefully planned route reveals the peninsula's many faces while avoiding the crowds that flock to more accessible regions.
