Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Commencez votre aventure à la majestueuse cascade Kirkjufellsfoss, située au pied de Kirkjufell. Émerveillez-vous devant la synergie de la montagne et des chutes, capturant des moments dignes d'une carte postale face à la grandeur de la nature. Ce duo dynamique de beauté naturelle est un incontournable pour les photographes et les amoureux de la nature.
Explorez ensuite Djúpalónssandur, une plage de sable noir captivante ornée des vestiges d’une épave de navire. Ressentez les esprits anciens de la mer en découvrant les pierres mystiques éparpillées le long du rivage, chacune ayant sa propre signification historique unique. Le paysage spectaculaire de la plage, avec ses galets noirs et ses formations de lave sombre, crée une atmosphère d’un autre monde.
En longeant la côte, vous découvrirez les Lóndrangar, des rochers basaltiques colossaux qui surgissent de façon spectaculaire de la mer. Ces sculptures naturelles, vestiges d'un cratère volcanique érodé par l'océan, témoignent de la puissance géologique brute de l'Islande. La vie ornithologique y prospère, ajoutant au dynamisme du paysage.
Visitez Arnarstapi, un village de pêcheurs pittoresque à la beauté côtière époustouflante. Promenez-vous le long des falaises côtières, respirez l'air marin vif et observez la riche faune ornithologique qui niche dans les colonnes de basalte. L'arche de Gatklettur, une porte rocheuse naturelle, est l'un des points forts du charme côtier du village.
Votre voyage se termine à Búðir, où se dresse l'emblématique église noire sur fond de champs de lave et du glacier Snæfellsjökull. Ce lieu pittoresque invite à la réflexion et offre une occasion parfaite de prendre des photos. L'architecture simple mais évocatrice de l'église de Búðir se dresse comme un symbole intemporel de spiritualité au milieu d'un paysage austère.

This tour hit so many points of interest. Sebastian was very knowledgeable and we could easily hear him .
Dear Rosemarie, thank you for this lovely review. We're so glad the tour hit so many points of interest and that Sebastian's commentary came through loud and clear — we'll make sure he hears your kind words. We'd love to welcome you back to Iceland one day!
Great tour. Saw the highlights. If you get Sebastian as your guide, you are in good hands! He was very friendly and informative.
Dear David, thanks so much — "in good hands" is exactly what we aim for! We're delighted Sebastian's friendly, informative guiding made the highlights shine, and we'll happily pass your praise on to him. Safe travels, and we hope Iceland sees you again.
We were picked up exactly on time at the cruise ship dock and our driver/guide Barney explained the day and tour before we left. Our stops were interesting and enough time to see everything with an overview of the region. There were a total of 8 on our comfortable tour van and Barney did commentary and answered everyone’s questions.
Dear Marla, what a pleasure to read this. A punctual pickup at the cruise dock, a clear briefing before setting off, and Barney's commentary for your group of eight — that's the day we work hard to deliver, and we'll be sure Barney hears your praise. Come back and see us!
The locations are what is special about the tour. The guide was a great speaker and shared knowledge including folklore. We saw the peninsula and its beauty.
Dear traveller, thank you for taking the time to share this. The locations really are the heart of this tour, and we're delighted the guide's storytelling — folklore included — brought them to life for you. We hope Iceland calls you back one day.
We absolutely loved this tour! Our guide, Bear/Barney was very informative and was such a delight. The small group was great. Highly recommend! We were sad when it ended. If you get our guide consider yourself lucky! We sure did!!
Dear Steve, "consider yourself lucky" — what a compliment! We're thrilled Bear made the day such a delight and that the small group suited you so well. Your praise is going straight to him. Thank you, and we hope to see you in Iceland again.
Great tour! Lots of interesting sights! Our driver, Bear, was interesting and informative. Loved that it was a small group!
Dear Barbro, many thanks for this great review. We're glad the sights delivered and that Bear's commentary kept things interesting for your small group — he'll be delighted to hear your kind words. We'd love to welcome you back to Iceland!
All stops on the tour were 5 star stops. Our tour guide Matthew was very knowledgeable. He loved his job and loved Iceland. It really made for a wonderful experience.
Dear Sylvia, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that all the stops felt like 5-star highlights and that Matthew’s passion for Iceland made the experience even more special. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future. Warm regards, The Iceland Highlights Team
The tour was fantastic. Great opportunities to experience the area and wonderful back stories. Would’ve liked more time to walk on the beach and wish the weather was a little bit better.
Dear pinkpadigal, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring the area and appreciated the stories shared along the way. We completely understand wanting more time on the beach — and we wish we could have ordered perfect weather for you too! We hope the memories of the stunning landscapes make up for the clouds, and we’d love to welcome you back for another visit in the future (maybe with more sunshine!).
Thomas was a gem of a tour guide! Such knowledge and wit! A true local, the best guide we had the entire trip! We saw so many places and it was truly a highlight of our trip!
Driver/Guide was knowledgeable but didn’t share as much as I expected. We drove by some places but didn’t stop. There is a lot of driving/riding time on this tour.
Dear David, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we truly appreciate you joining our tour from Grundarfjörður. We’re glad to hear that your driver-guide was knowledgeable, though we’re sorry to learn the commentary didn’t fully meet your expectations. We always aim to strike a good balance between driving and storytelling, and your comments help us improve this experience for future guests. Regarding the stops — some locations are drive-by sights due to time constraints or accessibility, but we understand it can be disappointing when expectations differ. We’ll certainly review the day’s flow with the guide to ensure we’re offering the best mix of scenery, stories, and photo opportunities. Thank you again for choosing Iceland Highlights — we hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a more engaging experience next time.
