Operator not named on the listing · Reykjavik
A private vehicle and guide for your group of up to 7, from Reykjavik around the whole peninsula, with stops that stretch or shrink as you like. Pick it for a family or a group of friends who want the day on their own terms without five hours at the wheel.
This is the one tour here priced per group, not per person: one price covers up to 7 travellers, and with all seven seats filled, each share comes in under the per-person price of the two lunch tours. The operator is not named on the listing.
The listed itinerary is generous to the point of being a menu: Gerduberg and Berserkjahraun as pass-bys, an hour at Kirkjufellsfoss, 30 minutes each at Djupalonssandur, Londrangar and the Malarrif lighthouse, two hours at the visitor centre and two at Arnarstapi, then Budir church and the Ytri Tunga seals for 15 minutes each. Add five hours of driving and that won't all fit in 10 to 11 hours. In practice you and the guide trade time between stops, which is the whole point.
Lunch is not included, though you choose when and where to eat. Infant seats are available and it's stroller accessible. If you're comfortable driving and it's summer, renting a car does the same loop for less (Route 54 is paved, a 2WD is fine). The private tour wins in winter, on windy days and when nobody wants to drive five hours there and back.
The guide collects your group in Reykjavik.
Basalt columns and the saga lava field on the way north.
The waterfall and the mountain, with time for the full path.
The black beach, the sea stacks and the lighthouse at the visitor centre.
Time for the cliff path towards Hellnar, about 2.5 km each way, if your group wants it.
The black church and the seals, then back to Reykjavik.
★★★★★Both our guide and the scenery were simply amazing. We learned and saw so much on this tour and the guide took the time to make the stops enjoyable for my kids, getting closer to the seals, playing in the museums, and including fun facts that they enjoyed.
★★★★★Our very kind tour guide Deyan was excellent in showing us myriad attractions on the Peninsula. It was an ambitious plan that he executed very well.
★★★★★Beautiful day, huge variety of Terrain and weather. Knowledgeable guide, comfortable van and safety always first.
