Enjoy a scenic ride in a comfortable minibus, while listening to Icelandic music on your way to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. A fantastic photo opportunity awaits you at the Kirkjufell, “The Church Mountain” that has become iconic to Iceland. You will better recognize it as the "Arrowhead Mountain" that appeared in the popular Game of Thrones TV series. The unique shape of the mountain, courtesy of the erosive power of glaciers of eons ago, and the presence of a beautiful waterfall just across it has made the spot one of the most photographed in the country.
On the south coast of the peninsula, you will happen across a village that has only one hotel. Here, a picturesque tiny black church stands solemn all alone in a field of lava rocks. This is the historic Búdakirkja, owned by the National Museum of Iceland, but in care of the Búdir parish. Also on the itinerary is the Arnarstapi, a tiny fishing village that sports stunning coastal cliffs, beautiful stone arches, and a marine geyser. As you stroll along its coastline, your guide will tell you stories of the misdeeds of the half-man half-troll Bárður.
Head towards the sandy Ytri-Tunga, where you have the opportunity to spot a friendly and curious seal colony. Watch from a distance as they climb up on rocks to sneak a peek at you. Then, try to spot birdlife such as seabirds, puffins, and northern fulmars at the huge pair of rock pinnacles of Lóndrangar. They are the remnants of a bigger crater that has mostly eroded.
Head towards the Djúpalónssandur, a black volcanic sand and stone beach from where fishermen rowed out to the Atlantic Ocean for centuries. They used to prove their mettle for the arduous fishing life by using the "lifting stones". If you so wish, you can try your hand at one of them too! Here, you will also find the remains from a 1948 shipwreck.
Lastly, you have the option of hiking up to the Saxhóll Volcanic Crater. Formed over 4000 years ago, it can be accessed via an iron staircase in a not too challenging hike. At the top, you can admire a beautiful 360° view of the lava fields and the Snæfellsjökull glacier.
