Half day tours

Half day tours

We are so excited for this Summer season! We have plenty of exciting departures ready for our guests and this year we will be running a variety of half-day tours, which make the perfect activities for those who prefer a shorter hike.

The half-day hikes will be our classic mountain base hike, a perfect taste of Snæfellsjökull and some incredible views. For the Geology lovers we have the Secrets Under the Lava hike, where our team takes you on an exciting coastal hike to find hidden geological gems. And later in the Summer, we will be offering an ice-walk, perfect to see the beauty of the glacial ice whilst playing on the frozen landscape.

Join us and experience Snæfellsnes the sustainable way!

Eruption in Iceland

Eruption in Iceland

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!

Northern lights over Snæfellsjökull

Northern lights over Snæfellsjökull

Last week we experienced some incredible northern lights in Iceland! Our team went out to hunt for the Aurora borealis on some of the most picturesque locations along the peninsula. Luckily, the skies were clear, so all we needed was a bit of patience and a nice cup of hot chocolate. The lights started to dance after not too long and they turned brighter and brighter, moving and changing colours! Our favourite part was when it topped the summit of Snæfellsjökull, making the view even more stunning. What a magical night!
