Your Experience

A scenic ride awaits you on this comfortable minibus journey to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. As Icelandic music plays, prepare for a fantastic photo opportunity at Kirkjufell — "The Church Mountain." Recognizable as the iconic "Arrowhead Mountain" from Game of Thrones, its unique shape is thanks to ancient glaciers and it's enhanced by an adjacent waterfall.

Traveling south on the peninsula, you'll discover a village with just one hotel. Nearby stands Búdakirkja — a historic black church set amid lava rocks, owned by Iceland’s National Museum but maintained by the Búdir parish. Also included is Arnarstapi, where stunning coastal cliffs and stone arches meet stories of half-man, half-troll Bárður.

Next stop: Ytri-Tunga's sandy shores offer a chance to observe curious seal colonies on rocks. From there, head to the rock pinnacles of Lóndrangar for birdwatching opportunities featuring seabirds and puffins among other species — remnants of an ancient crater mostly eroded away.

Visit Djúpalónssandur’s black volcanic beach where fishermen once braved the Atlantic Ocean. Here, you can test your strength with historical "lifting stones" or explore a 1948 shipwreck site.
