Our tour starts at 8 or 9 am (depending on season) from Keflavik Airport (KEF), which is an international airport 45 minutes from Reykjavik. Therefore, if your flight arrives later than this time, please arrive the day before the start time. We have a very busy schedule, so there is no way to go to Reykjavik to pick up tour participants.
The team is ready and we are going to the western part of the island. First stop beach Ytri-Tunga . Unlike most Icelandic beaches, which are covered with black volcanic sand, this beach has golden sand, which makes it special. However, the real highlight of this beach is its seal colony. The mimicity level is +100500.
The Black Church of Budir is an impressive historical landmark on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. It is known for its minimalist black appearance, breathtaking surroundings, and deep historical significance.
Arnarstapi — a small fishing village at the foot of the mountain. It houses a stone sculpture in honor of Bardur Snafellsas. It is believed that this mythical character, the hero of the Icelandic sagas — half troll, half human — lived right here, on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Gatklettur is a natural basalt arch located near the coastal village of Arnarstapi on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. This impressive rock formation was shaped by volcanic activity and the indomitable strength of ocean waves, creating a perfect arch over the sea.
And of course, the highlight of this day — Kirkjufell 463 m high mountain on the north coast of the Icelandic peninsula Snfellsnes, near the town of Grundarfjrur. It is believed to be the most photographed mountain in the country. Kirkjufell was one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones season 6 and 7.
Then we are going to check into our cozy house.

Reviews
SvetlanaThe trip left me with the brightest, warmest impressions! 🤗 My six days in Iceland turned out so incredible that it is hard to come back down — I want to go again, haha! 🇮🇸✨ We saw so much in those days that the memories will last for ages (my camera roll is bursting at the seams, haha): stunning waterfalls, seals, unbelievably beautiful Icelandic horses and sheep, and my dream come true — puffins! Those funny birds were right there, an arm's length away, and getting to watch them that close was a joy of its own! 🐧 Iceland's nature was just as impressive: lava covered in thick green moss, unreal landscapes and the feeling of standing on another planet. The (almost complete) absence of trees made the bare, unusual relief even more striking. A special word about our travel expert Angelina — she is simply the best! ❤️ Thanks to her the trip was not only beautiful but also very comfortable and interesting 😍 And one more unexpected culinary discovery — the local bread baked right under the ground! Angelina was the one who treated me to it. I liked it so much that I bought a loaf to take home as a present for my friends. 🇮🇸🍞 And a big thank you to Rita, our manager, for getting everything ready: she answered every question straight away and always had a useful tip 🫰🏼 Thank you for this incredible journey! Iceland has definitely stayed in my heart. 💙
