The Lost World of Snæfellsnes – Private Peninsula Tour (1–6 Passengers) — Ride Iceland

Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Ride Iceland's own price and take our commission from them, not from you. What you get here is one checkout across operators, one confirmation, and one place to change or cancel it. If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

About this experience

Discover the Snæfellsnes Peninsula on a private journey often described as Iceland in miniature. Travel from Reykjavík in a premium Mercedes-Benz V-Class with a dedicated chauffeur-guide and explore dramatic coastlines, volcanic landscapes, fishing villages and views toward Snæfellsjökull when conditions allow. The experience is private for your party of up to six passengers, with Reykjavík-area pickup and return included. Meals, attraction admission and optional activities are not included unless specifically stated. The itinerary may be adjusted for weather, road conditions and daylight.

Cancellation for this tour

No refund once booked. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 11 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 07:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    Bernard was driver/tour guide on a private tour for four of us. He was interesting, friendly, well informed and accommodating. Our six hour tour was fantastic. Although the private tour was more expensive we have no regrets. In six hours we efficiently accomplished what would have taken 8 or more hours on a larger tour bus and our tour was tailored to our specific needs.

    What a fantastic team they are! I was in Iceland early this month to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately, due to poor weather, the aurora tours kept cancelling. On the last day, 4th march, to avail our last chance, I found Ride Iceland on google search. The whatsapp chats were dealt in such a friendly manner and I immediately agreed for a private tour. We had Bernard as our guide. He is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Although there were cloud covers, Bernard picked a spot and identified aurora well before we could. He took us to two different spots and we witnessed the aurora show in both places. We were elated as it was my birthday and after all the odds we could witness it. I am very thankful to the team and Bernard. I wish them good luck :)

    Finding reliable transportation, especially late at night, can be a worry in a new country. But they took all that stress away. My driver was an absolute gem. He was incredibly accommodating, not only arriving right on time but also patiently waiting while I fumbled with my camera at every stop.
