The Snaefellsnes Peninsula, often called "Iceland in Miniature," is a region on the western coast of Iceland, showcasing the country's diverse natural wonders in a compact area. The Snaefellsjokull volcano and glacier dominate it. You'll also marvel at a stunning coastline with dramatic cliffs, black-sand beaches, and charming fishing villages.
The area is home to some of Iceland's most famous geographical features, including lava fields, hot springs, and basalt columns.
The first stop on the tour is the charming coastal town of Olafsvik. The settlement has around 1,000 residents, colorful houses, and a picturesque harbor. It's known for its strong fishing traditions. From here, it's on to Stykkisholmur, another similar town. The town overlooks the beautiful Breidarfjordur Bay and its network of islands, islets, and fjords.
Next, you'll see Londrangar, a striking pair of basalt sea stacks. These towering geological formations rise dramatically from the ocean, reaching 245 feet (about 75 meters) and 200 feet (roughly 60 meters). Carved by volcanic and coastal erosion over centuries, they resemble towering fortresses or ancient ruins.
You'll also see the iconic Kirkjufell mountain, one of the most photographed peaks in Iceland. Its name means "Church Mountain," and it has a distinctive symmetrical cone shape. It's around 1,519 feet (about 463 meters) above sea level.
This area is known for its folklore, particularly stories about elves and trolls. Your guide will tell you more about this as you enjoy the day.
After a fun-filled day exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
