What To Expect

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a location where nature, history, and folklore converge, creating a place of rugged beauty and mysterious charm. Exploring the area through a private tour with a knowledgeable driver is an excellent way to experience its extensive offerings.

The drive is remarkably scenic, with a landscape that unfolds as a wonderful symphony of extinct volcanoes, hot springs, craters, and lava fields formed during volcanic activities in the distant past. Possible stops include the rock formations at Gerðuberg, the black church at Búðir, and the seals at Ytri Tunga beach.

The fishing villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar serve as reminders of Iceland's history as a fishing nation. Further out, Djúpalónssandur beach offers a breathtaking view, where a lava flow from the great volcano met the ocean, creating a natural harbour.

On the northern side of the peninsula lies the much photographed Kirkjufell, a cone-shaped mountain near the fishing village of Grundarfjörður.
