About the Snæfellsnes tour in Spanish

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is about two hours' drive north-west of Reykjavík. In one day you see a volcanic glacier, lava fields, sea cliffs, black and golden beaches and Kirkjufell, the most photographed mountain in Iceland.

The whole day is guided in Spanish by a Spanish-speaking driver-guide, so you hear the stories and history of each place in your own language. The group is small, so there is time for photos at every stop.

The tour runs all year. In winter it runs four days a week, and from March every day. Food is not included, so bring a packed lunch or buy food on the way.
