Description

Comfort on this tour comes from the private format, the vehicle choice and the ability to adjust the pace. A minivan is used for smaller parties, while larger private groups can travel by minibus.

The core route brings together Berserkjahraun, the seal coast, Bjarnarfoss, Budir, Arnarstapi, Djupalonssandur and Kirkjufell, with views towards Snæfellsjökull when clouds allow. History, folklore and natural scenery are part of the same day rather than separate themes.

The published duration is 9-11 hours. A normal departure is around 09:00 or by prior arrangement, and the exact pick-up address and time are confirmed on the voucher.
