The highlight of this tour and Snaefellsnes is the majestic Snaefellsjokull glacier volcano, a striking ice-capped stratovolcano that rises 4,744 feet (1,446 meters) above sea level.

Another charming stop is Arnarstapi, a fishing village with stunning coastal cliffs, beautiful hiking trails, and abundant birdlife. The natural rock formations and ocean views are truly breathtaking.

Lastly, the Budir black church, set against the stark contrast of a lava field and the blue sky, is a photographer's dream. This iconic black wooden church is a place of quiet beauty and historical significance, providing a fitting end to your exploration of the Snaefellsnes peninsula.
