Your Snæfellsnes Peninsula Experience
Embark on a scenic journey aboard a cozy minibus, serenaded by Icelandic tunes as you make your way to the captivating Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Capture the iconic Kirkjufell, known as "The Church Mountain" and familiar to Game of Thrones fans as the "Arrowhead Mountain". Shaped by ancient glaciers, this mountain paired with a stunning waterfall makes for a picture-perfect stop.
Discover the quaint village with just one hotel on the south coast, home to the solitary Búdakirkja - a picturesque black church amidst lava fields. Explore Arnarstapi, a charming fishing village boasting dramatic cliffs, stone arches, and a mesmerizing marine geyser. Listen to tales of Bárður, the legendary half-man half-troll, as you wander along the coastline.
Visit Ytri-Tunga, a sandy beach where a friendly seal colony may greet you with curiosity. Observe seabirds, puffins, and northern fulmars at the impressive Lóndrangar rock pinnacles, remnants of a once-mighty crater. Uncover Djúpalónssandur, a historic black volcanic beach where fishermen once set sail for the Atlantic, testing their strength with "lifting stones" - a challenge you can also take on. Explore remnants of a 1948 shipwreck at this intriguing site.
Conclude your adventure with an optional hike to the Saxhóll Volcanic Crater, formed millennia ago. Ascend via an iron staircase for a rewarding 360° vista of lava fields and the majestic Snæfellsjökull glacier, truly a sight to behold.
