Your Way
So you want to go Your Own Way?
Your Private Guide is ready to go when you are!
There are more options than going on a prearranged trip. If you feel like being more flexible and going with the flow you can make it your own to include your interest or add activities to either a daytrip or a longer one, with overnight accommodations we will organize.
We can help you suggest a frame for the trip and bring up some fresh ideas that suit you.
The private guide option will take you to the part of the country you most prefer and on the way you will get lots of info on the history of the landscape, its geology, inhabitants, stories, folklore – or just simple fun facts as we go.
The car is equipped with an audio guide system so everyone will hear clearly. They say the Icelandic weather changes every five minutes, its best to be prepared and you will need to be dressed for the occasion, with good shoes and warm clothes, ready for wind and rain.
The Tours sublinks contain information about our prepared package trips.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”tourtext”]The longer day are at:
115.000 ISK – for 1-4 persons
145.000 ISK – for 5-8 persons
165.000 ISK – for 9-12 persons
Then there is a short half a day priced at 65.000 to 95.000 ISK
Do you want to see something more out of the ordinary? If a pre-organized package tour is not exactly what you´re after, your option is having Solstice Tours design your own adventure. You then have a large selection of suggestions to choose from and your private guide will put together a tour that is tailor made to fit your needs. Climb a mountain. Then go up a glacier. Examine a deep, dark cave. Go rafting down a tough river in a boat. See a concert. Get to know the towns. Go fishing. You name it.
The sublinks under Private Guide are suggestive of the routes you can choose from when you create your own tour and for some more options, please visit our Gallery for more images of some of the sights in the area. We are at your disposal to organize the trip and find places to stay. We are open to all suggestions.
See for yourself what would best suit you. Browse our basic tours and visit the gallery. Feel free at any moment to email us with any questions you may have.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_gallery images=”26890,26829,26824,26899,26898″ style=”masonry” item_id=”1463863598-5740c92e8aefa”][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title style=”avantgarde” color=”#5b5b5b” size=”24″ line_height=”18″ font_weight=”normal” font_family=”Roboto+Slab” font_type=”google” align=”center” border_width=”2″ text_transform=”capitalize”]More Info[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tour shape=”square” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-map-o” title=”Map” tab_id=”1463419931293-6a804241-0e3e0ebf-e9fe72dd-a07a” add_icon=”true”][mk_image src=”http://summer.solstice.is/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Snaefellsnes_map.jpg” image_width=”600″ image_height=”400″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Places” tab_id=”1463419440423-53f2df80-626c0ebf-e9fe72dd-a07a”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”tabtext”]Places we see

National Park of Snæfellsjökull we drive through then visit the Park Visitor Centre at Hellnar. See more information at http://www.ust.is/snaefellsjokull-national-park/
Arnarstapi – we visit this beautiful little fishing hamlet on the Southern side of Snæfellsjökull. This area is featured in the famous Bardar-Saga. The cliffs along the coastline are occupied by myriads of birds including kittiwakes, fulmars and razorbills.
Snæfellsjökull/Rauðarfellsgjá – this area was made famous by Jules Verne’s novel “A Journey to the Centre of the Earth” in which the entrance to the centre of the earth is from a passage into the mountain. When we explore Rauðarfellsgjá and walk into the “Troll Cave” to experience the “embrace” of the mountain whilst looking up at the sky above you too may understand his inspiration! There is plenty of space in the cave and no actual climbing is required.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Weather” tab_id=”1463419440488-657a7344-8baf0ebf-e9fe72dd-a07a”][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cCUzQSUyRiUyRnZlZHVyLmlzJTJGanMlMkZpZnJhbWUuanMlMjIlMjB0eXBlJTNEJTIydGV4dCUyRmphdmFzY3JpcHQlMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0UlM0NzY3JpcHQlMjB0eXBlJTNEJTIydGV4dCUyRmphdmFzY3JpcHQlMjIlM0UlMkYlMkYlMjAlM0MlMjElNUJDREFUQSU1QiUwQVZJLmlmcm0udHlwZSUyMCUzRCUyMCUyN3dzdCUyNyUzQiUyMFZJLmlmcm0uYXJlYSUyMCUzRCUyMDIlM0IlMjBWSS5pZnJtLmxhbmclMjAlM0QlMjAlMjdlbiUyNyUzQiUyMFZJLmlmcm0uZGlzcGxheVdlYXRoZXIlMjglMjklM0IlMEElMkYlMkYlMjAlNUQlNUQlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0U=[/vc_raw_js][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Dress Code” tab_id=”1463419863941-d4a2a0e1-e94f0ebf-e9fe72dd-a07a”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_image src=”http://summer.solstice.is/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/godafoss.jpg” hover=”false”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Remember the weather is everchanging here in Iceland.
