What to expect
Total duration included travel time. We leave Reykjavik and drive to Kirkjufell Mountain. The drive takes about 3 h. Kirkjufell holds cultural significance. The mountain's name translates to "Church Mountain," is derived from its resemblance to a church steeple when viewed from certain angles. It has been featured in various forms of media, including television and movies, most notably in the popular HBO series "Game of Thrones."
Next stop in about 30 min. drive is Saxhóll- volcanic crater is a striking geological formation. It is a small, cone-shaped crater that was formed thousands of years ago during volcanic activity in the area.
Djúpalónssandur Beach, also known as Black Lava Pearl Beach, is a captivating and dramatic coastal destination. The beach is famous for its stunning black pebbles and unique volcanic landscapes, offering visitors a glimpse into the raw and untamed beauty of Iceland's coastline.
Arnarstapi
Arnastapi is a small coastal village located on the southern coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. It is known for its picturesque landscapes, rugged cliffs, and charming fishing village atmosphere, making it a popular destination for visitors exploring the region.
Next stop in about 30 min. drive is Búðakirkja, also known as the Black Church, is a historic and iconic church. It is situated in the remote hamlet of Búðir, which is known for its breathtaking natural surroundings and serene atmosphere. The church, believed to have been built in the 19th century, stands out due to its distinctive black wooden exterior, which has weathered and darkened over time.
