Description

At 13 hours, this is one of the more complete private road circuits of Snæfellsnes. It is designed to give the south-coast seal and church stops, the western national-park coast and the north-coast mountain proper time in one day.

The minivan carries a maximum of eight guests and the published minimum age is five. A longer walk of about an hour is planned around Arnarstapi when conditions and the group allow.

Pick-up and drop-off, private transport and English-language guiding are included. Food and drinks are purchased separately, and a return around 22:00 should be treated as approximate.
