Description
See the highlights of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula on this audio-guided bus tour from Grundarfjordur Port, timed for cruise passengers, with stops at Djupalonssandur Beach, Arnarstapi Village, and Kirkjufell Mountain.
The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is often called "Iceland in miniature" for its volcanic scenery, rugged coastline, and varied landscapes. As you drive between the stops, an English audio guide tells you about the places you visit.
The tour starts at Grundarfjordur Harbor, right where you come ashore from your ship or tender, and heads west across the peninsula.
The first stop is Djupalonssandur Beach, a black pebble beach in Snaefellsjokull National Park, surrounded by lava formations. Here, you can test your strength on the lifting stones, an old Icelandic tradition, and see Snaefellsjokull Glacier in the distance.
Next, you visit Arnarstapi Village, a small coastal village known for its basalt cliffs, natural arches, and birdlife. You can take a short walk along the cliffs.
The last stop is Kirkjufell Mountain, with waterfalls nearby.
From Kirkjufell Mountain, you can ride the bus back to the harbor or take a walk of about 1.2 miles (2 kilometers), around 30 minutes, back to your ship.
