Snæfellsnes wonders

Kirkjufell is simply the most photographed mountain in Iceland. It has always been a famous landmark on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and a very appreciated stop by tourists from all over the world, and Icelanders as well. But its fame only grew even bigger after being featured in Game of Thrones.

As you walk towards the most stunning viewpoint to observe the mountain, you will notice two waterfalls. This sight is just magic and mesmerizing.

Djúpalónssandur is THE black sand beach of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Located in the heart of the National Park of Snæfellsnesjökull, Djúpalónssandur is located right at the edge of an huge lava field, coming from the volcano right behind.

This particular situation, coupled with thousands of years of erosion, creates the most interesting patterns in the cliffs and rocks surrounding the beach. The beach is also rich in history. Scattered all around it are hundreds of rusty remains of an old ship wreck. One will also find some heavy rocks which were used to measure the strength of aspiring fishermen back in the days.

Arnarstapi is sometimes depicted as the most impressive village in Iceland. The shoreline of Arnarstapi is absolutely unique.

Your guide will drop you by the harbour, from where you can see dozens of mountains over the ocean. From there, you will walk all the way to the statue of Bárður, first settler of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. As you walk, you will see stunning rock formations that are shaping the whole coastline of Arnarstapi.

In summer, you will be amazed by the abundance of bird life in the village and on the cliffs.

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula offers all types of landscapes, and is not short of wonders to visit. This is why the next two visits of the tour will be left to you guide to pick. The viewpoint over Lóndrangar, the waterfall of Bjarnafoss, the crater of Saxhóll, the seals of Ytri-Tunga and more ... Your guide will know how to leave you in awe.
