There is a lot of excitement in Iceland at the moment surrounding the new volcano that erupted in the Reykjanes peninsula some days ago. Of course, our team didn't want to miss this special opportunity and they have been there to see it! We at Go West have a passion for volcanoes, since we spend most of our hikes on Snæfellsjökull glacier, which sit on top of a dormant volcanoe. George and Sara took this video and we hope you enjoy it!

Our Wildlife Tours in Snæfellsnes
THANK YOU all dear guests for helping us clean our beautiful area of Iceland whilst you joined us for an ecofriendly tour this summer.
We had a wonderful family join us on our new secrets of Snæfellsnes lava hike. They got to ecplore both above and below our spectacular cliffs, really giving them an insight into the secret geological history of the snaefellsnes peninsula. We drank water filtered through the lava pouring out hte cliff bottom, ate some chocolaty treats, saw seals and cute little puffins and even did some beach cleaning along the way. As a company focusing on ecotourism and protecting our wonderful iceland we try our very best to keep our area clean and it is fantastic when our guests join in too. Have a look at just a couple of the photos from that day and click the link below to see our other tours on offer.
Our favourite hikes are always the midnight sun summer glacier hikes up Snæfellsjökull! We had such an awesome time with this father and son duo, climbing in beautiful light up onto the glacier with amazing views over the surrounding Snaefellsnes National Park. If you would like to join us too and experience a glacier tour up to the mighty Snafellsjokull then have a look at the link below!
We took our friend and renowned Icelandic Geologist to check out the incredible Geology on our new hiking route and he was absolutely amazed! So amazed in fact that he wants to take other academics down there to show them this unique spot.

We were rewarded with incredible conditions yesterday during a summit hike to the top of Snæfellsjökull Glacier. Our 5 great guests had awesome views of Snæfellsnes the whole time and on the way down the wind increased from the west making the craziest cloud formations we have seen for a long time on the glacier! Check out the pictures
The feeling you get when you reach the summit of Snæfellsjökull on one of our glacier hikes is incredible, especially on a sunny day when you are treated to incredible views over the entire Snæfellsnes peninsula. Just have a look at our guest Alain here, who could not of had a bigger smile at the top!
Recently we recieved the Gold-class Vakinn environmental award here in Iceland and to celebrate we offered a special reduced priced glacier hike to the summit of Snæfellsjökull. The weather was fantastic and Guillaume and Audrey were super excited to feature on the front of the local newspaper with us after our celebration hike to the top of Snæfellsjökull!
