What to expect
Stykkishólmshöfn
Stykkishólmur is located by Breiðafjörður Bay on the north of Snæfellsnes peninsula, and is surrounded by wonderful views of the innumberable islands. One of the defining landmarks in Stykkishólmur are the old houses which reside in the old city center and this is reflected in the atmosphere – it sometimes feels like a place from a different time.

Port Ólafsvík
Olafsvik is a town on the northern side of Snaefellsnes peninsula, close to the magnificent glacier, Snaefellsjokull. Olafsvik has a large fishing harbour which is ideal for watching the lively seamans life. An old warehouse, built in 1844, is now protected and houses a museum, with exhibits displaying working methods from ancient times.
45 minutes
Djupalonssandur Beach
Djupalonssandur is a beautiful pebbled beach, with a series of rocks of mysterious form emerging from the ocean. It is one of the few areas that lead down to the sea along this coast with its high dramatic cliffs. Watch out for the famous ghosts roaming the place! The rests of a shipwreck can be seen on the beach. On the beach there are also big stones which people tried to lift and test their strength in the days of the fishing stations: Fully Strong 154 kg, Half-Strong 100 kg, Weakling 54 kg and Bungler 23 kg. Weakling marked the frontier of wimphood, any man who couldn't lift it was deemed unsuitable for a life as a fisherman.
20 minutes
Hellnar Primus Kaffi
Where the surf pounds the beach around the old pier. Sit outside with a blanket to keep you warm and bask in the amazing scenery. Coffee, cakes and waffles with cream and apple pie to die for!
20 minutes
At the farm Olkelda, near Stadarstadur, in the south of Snaefellsnes, there is a mineral spring with carbonated water. Mineral springs are said to have healing properties, so feel free to take a sip. The farmhouse is named Olkelda which means mineral spring in Icelandic.
