Snæfellsjökull National Park
Snæfellsnesjökull National Park in a protected wilderness area encircling Snæfellsjökull glacier.
It is possible to see Snæfellsjökull on a clear day from Reykjavík, hundreds of kilometres to the south. Our guests get a better view! A 700,000 year old subglacial volcano, it has thankfully lain dormant for almost 2000 years, which is just as well as it is the same type of volcano as Ejyafjalljökull. That subglacial volcano erupted and famously created chaos and grounded airplanes worldwide back in 2010.
Snæfellsjökull also famously features in Jules Verne´s seminal 1864 adventure novel “Journey to the Center of the Earth”. The entrance to the underworld was imagined by Verne to lie here.
Djúpalónssandur Beach
Djupalonssandur Beach is a stunning black pebble beach located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. It is situated near the fishing village of Hellnar and can be accessed by a short walk from the nearby parking area. The beach is renowned for its unique, otherworldly landscape and is a popular destination for photographers and nature lovers alike. Visitors can marvel at the dramatic cliffs and neighbouring rock formations that add to this scenic wonder. Additionally, history buffs can enjoy the beach’s historical significance, as it was once used as a testing ground for the strength of fishermen in Iceland’s past.
Lóndrangar Basalt Cliffs
Lóndrangur are two enormous basalt rock formations reaching 75m and 61m respectively. These pinnacles are all that remains of an ancient crater which has long since been eroded by the sea. They serve as both a stunning view from all angles as well as home to various nesting bird species.
Arnarstapi
Arnarstapi is a charming village located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in the West Region of Iceland. The village’s unique location near the coast and its dramatic landscape make it a popular destination for visitors looking to experience Iceland’s natural beauty.

Visitors can also enjoy hiking along the nearby coast or observing the varied wildlife in the area, making Arnarstapi a must-visit destination for anyone travelling to Iceland.
It is a real pleasure to walk along the cliff edge and spot the nesting seabirds below. A famous photo stop is the Arnarstapi bridge, Eystrigjá.
Búðir Black Church
Budir black church is one of the most beautiful in Iceland. But what makes this place special is the stunning landscape on which it rests. A church was first built here at over 300 years ago, though the structure you see today dates from 1848. This church is a popular subject for photographers and we take a short photo stop her for that reason.
Ytri Tunga Beach Seals
We make one final stop in Snæfellsnes before heading back to the city. Ytri Tunga is a pleasant though unremarkable golden beach. Why then do we make a stop here you may ask? Because Ytri Tunga is one of the best places in Iceland to watch seals. These harbour seals spends there days on the rocks just off the beach and hopefully you will be lucky and catch a glimpse of them.
Central Reykjavik
We then begin the journey back to Reykjavik and we hope you will have made lasting memories of this lesser-traveled part of Iceland.
