Our day tour will begin with our fast and efficient pick up service. We will come to pick you up you from either, one of the hotels in the center of Reykjavik or from one of the many pick up spots dotted across the city. When pick up is completed then we will leave the city and begin our journey.
Our first stopover will be a spot where wild seals reside. On the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Ytri Tunga is a beach near the same-named farm. Ytri Tunga, has golden sand instead of black. Harbour Seals are the seals that gather here. Over the ages, seals and Icelanders have had a fascinating connection. They're attentive and welcoming, and they'll climb up on shore so you can see them from afar.
Our next stopover will be Búðir, a historic town in the centre of massive lava fields. Hraunhofn, which means "The Harbor of Lava" in Icelandic, was the name of the village in the past. Búðir was formerly a rich fishing village and a bustling trading station on Snaefellsnes. The trade station was abandoned at the beginning of the nineteenth century, but tourism has brought the region back to life. The main attraction of the site is the black church called Búðakirkja, also known as the Black Church of Búdir.
Snaefellsjökull is a volcano topped by a glacier found at the tip of the Snæfellsnes peninsula in western Iceland. It is located in the same-named National Park.
Our next stopover is a little fishing village (Arnarstapi) at the foot of a mountain with one of the country's most picturesque harbors. Arnarstapi has an unique natural harbour in Iceland. It was transformed into a shipping port, and people began to inhabit the area around it. We'll go to the seaside and hear some amazing stories about Bárður, the half-man, half-troll, and his adventures in the region.
Djúpalónssandur, one of the most photographed spots on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, will be our next stop. It is a bay with dark rocks and black sand that is curved like an arch. A site where Icelandic fisherman have rowed out into the Atlantic Ocean for generations in search of food for their families
Our next stopover will be - The Lóndrangar basalt cliffs, they are one of the great geological wonders of the Snaefellnes peninsula. They are the remnants of a volcanic crater that existed tens of thousands of years ago. They may be spotted rising all over the southern shore. We could see a wide variety of seabirds, including northern fulmars and puffins, in the region.
One of the most visited craters on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula is Saxhóll. The crater is around 100 m(328 feet) high.
Olafsvik is a small fishing village on the west side of the Snaefellsnes peninsula with a population of little over 1000 people. Olafsvik has an excellent natural harbour and a robust fishing sector.
