What to expect
Berserkjahraun
Our first destination is around two hours drive away, along the west coast and under Hvalfjördur Bay. You can get a preview of the tour's wild and wooly Berserkjahraun lava field from a high vantage point. The beautiful and gloomy Berserkjahraun was built approximately 4000 years ago by thick black lava from neighboring volcano craters. The lava is mentioned in one Icelandic saga as how the Norwegian Berserks are ultimately vanquished.
35 minutes
As we reach the fishing village of Grundarfjörur, the solitary and beautiful summit of Mt. Kirkjufell becomes increasingly difficult to ignore (Church Mountain). The name makes sense when you consider that it towers over the city on a ridge of verdant hills. The mountain overshadowed the Snaefellsjökull glacier in fame thanks to its appearance in the popular Netflix series Game of Thrones.
35 minutes
The nearby waterfall, which is connected with the mountain's summit, is peaceful and beautiful. Snaefellsjökull glacial streams provide the water for the waterfall. A hiking track leads guests on an exploration of the area, where they can take photographs of the breathtaking autumn foliage against the backdrop of Mt. Kirkjufell. As a result of its stunning appearance, Kirkjufellsfoss has become a popular spot for photographers from all over the world.
35 minutes
Djupalonssandur Beach
Black Lava Pearl Beach is a common name for the coastline in Djpalónssandur. This bay was once home to a fishing community; its lava cliffs and black basalt pebbels and sand provide for a dramatic backdrop. The four antique lifting stones, intended to test the strength of fisherman, are fascinating relics from the days gone by. The rusty remnants of an English trawler that ran aground on the beach in 1948 serve to preserve history while also providing a stunning visual contrast.
35 minutes
We will next proceed to the Lóndrangar basalt cliffs. What you see now, in the form of cliffs and ruined pinnacles, is all that's left of a volcano that the ocean devoured mercilessly over a long period of time. The cliffs are popular with birdwatchers because seabirds use them as nesting grounds. Snaefellsjökull glacier is visible in stunning clarity on a clear day, and if you're lucky, you might even spot some elves.
35 minutes
Arnarstapi
The last stop is a quaint little fishing community with a harbor for small boats and a breathtaking coastline. The community of Arnarstapi, which takes its name from the beautiful mountain that towers over it, is situated close to Snaefellsjökull. Arnarstapi is a charming village that offers lovely strolls from the harbor and along the stunning shoreline all the way up to a striking monument honoring the region's defender, Bárur Snfellsáss. When walking along the coast, it's easy to feel empowered by nature's forces, including the energy of the volcano, the ocean, and the rough beauty of the various coastal features seen while walking. Only a few examples include petrified elephants, basalt columns, blowholes, and seabirds. And so our snæfellsnes peninsula tour of Iceland ends here.
