Description

Discover the magic of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula on this private full-day tour with professional travel photography included. Known as “Iceland in Miniature,” this region offers a rich variety of landscapes—towering mountains, black sand beaches, volcanic craters, charming fishing villages, and dramatic coastal cliffs—all in one unforgettable journey. Your adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Reykjavik. Traveling in a luxury 4x4 vehicle with a personal local photographer guide, you’ll enjoy a flexible and intimate experience tailored to your pace and interests. Highlight locations include: Stykkishólmur, the charming seaside town featured in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, with its colorful houses and tranquil harbor. Ingjaldshólskirkja, the iconic red-roofed “eye test” church set against a stunning mountain backdrop. Búðakirkja, the famous black church of Búðir, standing in stark contrast to the surrounding lava field and golden beach. Arnarstapi, where you can walk along coastal cliffs, see the natural stone arch Gatklettur, and visit the legendary Bárður statue. Kirkjufell, the most photographed mountain in Iceland, with its symmetrical peak and adjacent waterfalls creating a perfect composition. Depending on weather and road conditions, we’ll also visit Ytri Tunga beach for seal spotting, volcanic craters, and lesser-known photo-worthy spots along the peninsula. This tour includes on-location travel photography, meaning your guide will help capture stunning photos of you at each major stop. Subject to working hours and natural light, you may choose your preferred shooting locations, making this a highly customizable visual journey. Whether you’re looking for breathtaking landscapes, cinematic backdrops, or professional portraits in the wild, this tour blends the best of sightseeing with artistic documentation—perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers wanting to preserve their Iceland memories in style.
