斯奈山(Snæfellsjökull)是位于冰岛西部斯奈山半岛上的一座壮丽火山,山顶被冰川覆盖,高度约1446米。这座火山以其神秘的自然景观和神话传说而闻名,甚至被称为“冰岛的圣山”。斯奈山冰川火山不仅是冰岛最具代表性的地标之一,还因法国科幻作家儒勒·凡尔纳的小说《地心游记》而闻名。斯奈山半岛也是大多数专业摄影师必去的地方。斯奈山半岛在1500万到700万年前曾是火山活动极为频繁的地区,如今它正逐渐成为好莱坞电影最常拍摄的冰岛景点,出现在《权力的游戏》《美国队长》和《白日梦想家》等电影中。

The South Coast, Golden Circle, and Snæfellsnes Peninsula tours offer distinct experiences.
The South Coast tour is perfect for those seeking an adventure amidst glaciers, featuring more walking activities.
Opt for the Golden Circle tour to explore the Silfra fissure, involving snorkeling between tectonic plates. Alternatively, you can skip snorkeling and visit an Icelandic farm with homemade Ice Cream!

Frequently Asked Questions
Day tours are an absolutely phenomenal way of exploring the wild Icelandic nature in a short time.
These tours are joined mainly by travelers who come to Iceland for a short time and who are residing in Reykjavík.
Anyone who is traveling to Iceland can join a day tour since these tours are short and fun. However, statistics show that day tours are joined mainly by travelers who come to Iceland for a short time and who have hotels booked in Reykjavík.

Iceland has its magical, mystical feelings all year round, no matter in which season you are traveling. If you are coming during the summer months, expect the never-ending midnight sun and nature blooming in any direction you look. If you are coming during winter, you can expect the scenery to change into the white mountains and the darkness. However, the snow always brightens Iceland up, therefore it does not feel as dark, once the moonlight and northern lights shine above the snowy terrain.
If you are passing some beautiful place that you got to know about and it's not in the itinerary, you can always ask your guide to make an ''extra'' stop. The option of adding a stop however depends on a few things - whether we have enough time to make the extra stop, and whether everyone is fine with the extra location you would like to visit.
However, feel free to ask your guide while on the road :)
