Day Trip to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and Kirkjufellsfossar Waterfall

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on a captivating day trip to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, an Icelandic gem often called "Iceland in Miniature" that promises a blend of natural wonders and historical intrigue. The journey begins with a comfortable ride on our modern bus, equipped with air conditioning, and complimentary Wi-Fi to ensure a pleasant travel experience. Our first highlight is the Berserkjahraun lava fields, where a volcanic eruption 4,000 years ago formed the striking scoria craters of Rauðkúla and Grákúla. This ancient landscape offers a glimpse into Iceland’s fiery past.

As the tour progresses, we make our way to the iconic Mount Kirkjufell and the nearby Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall. Known for its arrowhead shape, Kirkjufell has been immortalized in pop culture as a backdrop for the fantasy series Game of Thrones. Next, we journey into the heart of Snæfellsjökull National Park, home to the mystical Snæfellsjökull glacier and volcano. The park's rugged terrain and diverse ecosystems invite exploration and awe.

Our adventure continues with a visit to Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach, where remnants of the shipwrecked fishing boat can be seen scattered across the shore. The towering Lóndrangar Pinnacles stand resolute against the relentless sea, while the breathtaking Arnarstapi cliffs and sea-bridge offer dramatic coastal views. We conclude our tour with stops at the quaint Búðir Black Church and the serene Ytri Tunga Beach, a prime spot for seal watching. Each stop on this tour promises a unique facet of Iceland's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
