Itinerary

Berserkjahraun Lava Fields

We begin by visiting the dramatic Berserkjahraun, a 4,000-year-old lava field steeped in Icelandic saga history. Its rugged terrain and moss-covered formations create a surreal landscape that feels untouched by time.

Kirkjufell & Kirkjufellsfoss

One of Iceland’s most photographed mountains, Kirkjufell, rises 463 meters above the nearby town of Grundarfjörður. Just beside it lies the picturesque Kirkjufellsfoss, creating one of the country’s most iconic views.

This stop is a favorite for photographers and nature lovers alike.

Snæfellsjökull National Park

At the heart of the peninsula lies Snæfellsjökull National Park, home to the legendary Snæfellsjökull glacier-volcano.

This 700,000-year-old subglacial volcano inspired Jules Verne’s famous novel Journey to the Center of the Earth. The glacier dominates the skyline and adds a mystical atmosphere to the region.

Djúpalónssandur Black Beach

The dramatic Djúpalónssandur beach features black pebbles, lava formations, and remnants of a historic shipwreck. The powerful Atlantic waves and rugged cliffs make this one of the most striking coastal stops on the tour.

Lóndrangar Basalt Cliffs

The towering Lóndrangar cliffs rise dramatically from the ocean. These ancient volcanic rock formations are home to nesting seabirds and offer breathtaking coastal views.

Arnarstapi Coastal Walk

The charming fishing village of Arnarstapi offers one of Iceland’s most scenic coastal walks. You’ll enjoy cliffside paths, seabirds, and dramatic rock arches shaped by centuries of Atlantic waves.

Búðir Black Church

The famous Búðir Black Church stands alone against a backdrop of lava fields and mountains. Originally built in the 18th century, it is one of Iceland’s most photographed landmarks.

Ytri Tunga Seal Beach

Our final stop is Ytri Tunga, one of the best places in Iceland to spot harbor seals resting on coastal rocks.
