Porto di Grundarfjordur: tour della penisola di Snaefellsnes per piccoli gruppi
Descrizione
Partecipa a un'escursione a terra per piccoli gruppi dal porto di Grundarfjörður e scopri la straordinaria bellezza della penisola di Snæfellsnes, spesso chiamata Islanda in miniatura. Progettato appositamente per i crocieristi, questo tour di mezza giornata offre uno sguardo rilassato ma completo su una delle regioni più panoramiche dell'Islanda occidentale. Viaggia sotto il maestoso ghiacciaio Snæfellsjökull ed esplora un paesaggio drammatico di montagne, cascate, spiagge di sabbia nera e coste frastagliate. Visita l'iconico Monte Kirkjufell e la sua vicina cascata, uno dei monumenti più fotografati dell'Islanda. Passeggia lungo le sabbie vulcaniche di Djúpalónssandur, dove resti di relitti e pietre storiche di sollevamento riflettono il patrimonio ittico islandese. Prosegui verso i pinnacoli di basalto di Lóndrangar, che sorgono dal mare e ospitano uccelli marini in estate, quindi esplora Arnarstapi con una passeggiata panoramica sulla scogliera caratterizzata da archi naturali e faraglioni marini. Termina il tuo viaggio alla famosa Chiesa Nera di Búðir, incastonata tra campi di lava con ampie viste sull'oceano e sulle montagne.

Itinerario
La tua prima tappa è l'iconico Monte Kirkjufell, una delle montagne più fotografate d'Islanda. Questo picco dalla forma unica è abbinato alla pittoresca cascata Kirkjufellsfoss, che lo rende uno dei luoghi preferiti dai fotografi. Godetevi il tempo per passeggiare, scattare foto e conoscere la geologia e il significato culturale della montagna.
Successivamente, viaggia lungo la costa verso Djúpalónssandur, una remota e atmosferica spiaggia di sabbia nera modellata dalle forze vulcaniche e dalle potenti onde atlantiche. Qui troverai: Passeggiata tra le spettacolari formazioni laviche Vedere i resti di un vecchio naufragio sparsi lungo la riva Scopri il patrimonio ittico islandese Prova a sollevare le storiche pietre di forza, un tempo usate per testare la resistenza dei pescatori
Prosegui fino agli impressionanti faraglioni marini di Lóndrangar, imponenti pinnacoli di basalto vulcanico che si innalzano dalla costa. Queste drammatiche formazioni fanno parte di antichi crateri vulcanici e ospitano uccelli marini nidificanti. In estate, si possono avvistare pulcinelle di mare e altri uccelli lungo le scogliere.
Arriva all'affascinante villaggio costiero di Arnarstapi, noto per le sue scogliere frastagliate e la ricca fauna avifauna. Godetevi una dolce passeggiata lungo il sentiero sul fianco della scogliera, che offre splendide viste sull'oceano e formazioni rocciose naturali. Tra i punti di interesse figurano: Gatklettur arco di mare Il belvedere del ponte di pietra La statua di Barður Snæfellsás, il leggendario guardiano della penisola
La tua ultima tappa turistica è la famosa Chiesa Nera di Búðir, incastonata in un ampio paesaggio aperto di campi di lava, montagne e viste sull'oceano. Questa chiesa storica, risalente al XIX secolo, è uno dei monumenti più fotografati di Snæfellsnes e offre un momento di pace prima di tornare in porto.

I, like others, was initially surprised by the size of the group. However, once we realized that we would be traveling by bus, the group size was not an issue at all. Our tour guide, Alex, was great. He was extremely knowledgeable, and the stories and information he shared throughout the day made the experience even more enjoyable. I also felt that we had just the right amount of time at each of the sites and never felt rushed. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day and would definitely recommend this tour to others.
I selected this excursion because it was advertised as a small group tour. When I arrived at the meeting point, I was directed to a large-group motor coach. This was not what I signed up for & purchased. I consider this a bait & switch tactic, and would not recommend this Viator excursion.
This is one of two excursions we took with Nodur Tavel, both times we were booked through a consolidator. This one is promoted and priced as a small group trip with free Wi-Fi on the bus. Our tour group was 50, the capacity of the bus, and there was no Wi-Fi. The lunch stop was so busy to eat we needed to use the buffet. It wasn't bad, but as I recall it was around $40/person. The guide for this excursion was Eric, and he absolutely made it a good tour. He kept the group moving, told us what to expect at each stop, and alternate paths to take depending upon of physical limitations. He had lots of pertinent background stories and it was fun being a part of his tour.
Piotr was an excellent guide! He took us to the greatest spots and gave excellent explanations! As we had a really tight schedule, he was always on point but gave us enough time to explore the area! Very well done! We can only recommend the tour!
We’re delighted to hear Piotr made the tour memorable with his excellent guidance, explanations, and thoughtful pacing despite a tight schedule. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again on future adventures. Thank you!
Converted from small group into large tour bus tour without notice, drivers and passengers seemed equally confused. We did hit all the stops, but due to time for all 55+ folks to exit/enter bus, not nearly as long for exploring as a small group would have been. WiFi did not work. Probably wouldn’t book this again, tour guides did the best they could, but I specifically wanted smaller group setting and was irked by the change with zero communication. I did request a partial refund and did get a small amount back.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating. We’re glad you enjoyed the day trip and appreciated the guide’s efforts throughout the journey. Your comments are valuable to us, and we’ll continue working to make each experience even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you again for future adventures.
the guide was very interesting and kept the tour moving. He added a lot to the experience. The scenery was amazing!
We’re delighted to hear the guide kept the tour engaging and added so much to your experience. It’s wonderful that the scenery made such an impression as well. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you again for more memorable adventures. Thank you!
The tour was listed as a small group tour but was changed on the morning of the tour to a large group bus tour. Clearly, with the amount of people coming off the cruise ships it was never going to be a small group tour The majority of the people on the bus were Spanish speaking so the tour was conducted in two languages. It should have been marketed as a bi lingual tour. I wouldn’t have booked it.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour overall, and we appreciate your comments regarding the group size and language. Your input is valuable to us, and we’ll take it into consideration as we continue working to improve. We’re grateful for your support and hope to welcome you again in the future.
We booked a small group tour, assuming that it would be a small group but found out that morning that they converted it to a large group tour without us knowing and actually had two large buses. Overall, the tour was very nice, but not what we expected or paid for.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour overall, though we understand it wasn’t the small group experience you expected. Your comments are important to us, and we’ll take them into account as we continue working to improve. We appreciate your input and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Covers all the major sights of this region - one of the most beautiful places in Iceland. Stan the guide was friendly, informative and very accommodating ensuring everyone had the best experience. My only suggestion is the tour organisers give the guides a board with the name of the tour operators on as some passengers couldn’t find the bus and indeed we struggled too. Not Stan’s fault and hopefully Nordur travel will do this for future tours. A great 5 hours though with lots of Icelandic facts learned and memories made.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring this beautiful region and that Stan made the experience friendly, informative, and accommodating. We appreciate your helpful suggestion regarding clearer bus identification and will take it into account. Your kind words mean a lot, and we look forward to welcoming you again.
Description of tour was deceitful. Trip was shown on Viator web site as small group tour and we were put into a large full bus. Also tour ran short of promised time because passengers on a different cruise line needed to get back to their ship for an earlier sailing time.
