Snæfellsnes & Golden Circle self-drive

Snæfellsnes & Golden Circle self-drive

What to expect

Overview

Take a journey into the Western Icelandic countryside on this 10-day adventure. Starting in Reykjavík and ending with a soak at the Blue Lagoon, your drive gives you plenty of time to spend at many of Iceland’s best known natural attractions, including the Kirkjufell Mountains; beautiful waterfalls, bubbling hot springs, and the famous “Golden Circle” route. Enjoy a private guided tour of Reykjavik, an Icelandic horse riding tour and other unique experiences.

You will also have a lot of opportunities to explore the active side of Iceland — easy glacier walks, lava caves and Silfra snorkelling.

Read about the tour here in this Sydney Morning Herald article, March 2024.
