• Ingjaldshólskirkja - At the end of this road, visitors will find Ingjaldshólskirkja, one of Iceland’s most renowned churches. Although the current structure was erected in 1903, a church has stood on this site since the early 1300s!

• Djupalonssandur Beach - Just below the parking area for Djúpalónssandur Beach are two lagoons. In the 1100s, a Catholic bishop blessed these pools, supposedly endowing them with healing properties. Visitors can follow a trail called Nautastígur, or “The Path of the Bulls,” which was once used by farmers to bring their bulls to drink from the lagoons. Those were some revered bulls!

• Snæfellsnes Visitor Center - Welcome to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula! Often referred to as “Iceland in Miniature,” this peninsula offers unforgettable experiences, from views of a glacier-capped volcano to stories of Vikings, trolls, and elves! Let the adventure begin!

Note: The tour spans over 89 miles, includes more than 83 audio stories, and takes approximately 3-4 hours to complete.

Purchase once, enjoy for a year! Perfect for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

• Ölkelduvatn Mineral Spring - The water at Ölkelda farm is rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron! When iron interacts with oxygen and water, it forms a reddish substance known as iron oxide. This is the same process that causes a metal chair left outside in the rain to rust!

• Ytri Tunga Beach Parking - One evening, a young farmer wandering at night discovered a seal skin and took it home. He locked the skin in a wooden chest. The next morning, he found a young woman sitting on the chest, weeping. He comforted her.

• Bjarnarfoss - Here’s another reason to visit the waterfall: The Lady of the Mountain once bathed here! Not familiar with the Lady of the Mountain? She is a legendary matriarch whom locals regard as the very embodiment of Iceland itself.

• Budakirkja - Currently, visitors are in front of Búðakirkja, one of Iceland’s most famous churches. One might think: This church is small enough for a Huldufólk wedding!

• Snæfellsjökull View Point - Earlier in the tour, two major features of Iceland’s landscape were discussed: Volcanoes and glaciers. Snæfellsjökull combines these two elements! A vast glacier covers the summit of the volcano. Unfortunately, this glacier has been shrinking in recent decades. In 2012, for the first time in recorded history, it was possible to stand in this very spot and see no ice on the top of Snæfellsjökull.

• Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge - This is a deep, rocky ravine with a small waterfall. In the summer, visitors can even climb inside! The half-mile trail to the gorge is moderately challenging and takes about 20 minutes to complete.

• Sönghellir Cave - If planning to visit the cave, it might be time to start warming up those golden pipes… Sönghellir translates to “the cave of songs.” The cave’s twisting, rocky walls provide an absolutely fantastic echo. Some say the echoes are the songs of the Huldufólk!

• Arnarstapi - Ahead is an optional detour to the quaint fishing village of Arnarstapi. In Arnarstapi, visitors can gaze over rugged cliffs, peer through a dramatic stone arch, and even walk over a natural bridge. Plus, the town features a statue dedicated to the beloved troll, Bárðar Snæfellsás!

• Gatklettur - Since the days of Bárðar Snæfellsás, humans have been drawn to the area around Arnarstapi. Fishermen found abundant herring in the natural harbors along the shoreline, and the village became a bustling port.

• Lóndrangar View Point - Approaching the Lóndrangar View Point, where two basalt columns rise above the surrounding cliffs. These dramatic columns explain Lóndrangar’s nickname: “the rocky castle.”

• Malarrif Lighthouse - This distinctive lighthouse was constructed in 1917 to assist sailors in navigating the treacherous basalt cliffs. The Malarrif Lighthouse might appear a bit unusual: It’s almost shaped like a rocket ready for lift-off!

• Vatnshellir Cave - Despite its name, Vatnshellir Cave is actually an 8,000-year-old lava tube. Lava tubes form during volcanic eruptions when rivers of magma continue to flow beneath sections that have already cooled, creating a long, hollow tube!

• Djupalonssandur Beach - Just below the parking area for Djúpalónssandur Beach are two lagoons. In the 1100s, a Catholic bishop blessed these pools, supposedly endowing them with healing properties. Visitors can follow a trail called Nautastígur, or “The Path of the Bulls.”

• Saxholl Crater - Imagine pools of magma bubbling beneath the Earth’s surface. Sometimes, magma rises to meet water-saturated rocks, eventually leading to a phreatic eruption. During phreatic eruptions, a massive amount of water, steam, and molten rock explodes outward, leaving behind an enormous hollow, which can be explored at Saxhóll Crater!

• Skardsvik Beach - Soon, the turn for Skarðsvík Beach will be reached. This beach is a study in contrasts. Visitors can admire turquoise water reminiscent of a tropical vacation while also enjoying the dark volcanic rock that defines much of the peninsula.

• Svortuloft Lighthouse - At the end of this road, the bright orange Svörtuloft Lighthouse stands out against the dark lava cliffs. Built in 1931, this lighthouse has guided generations of sailors and fishermen safely past the rocks and crags of the western Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

• Öndverðarnesviti - Another lighthouse, Öndverðarnesviti, overlooks the cliffs just ahead. Since its construction in 1973, sailors have relied on Öndverðarnesviti to help them navigate the peninsula’s rocky tip.

• Hellissandur - Although Hellissandur was once a thriving fishing village, today it’s best known as the “Street Art Capital of Iceland!” Large murals adorn many of the town’s walls, and galleries line the main road. Another major attraction is the Maritime Museum!

• Svodufoss - So where did all this water come from? As visitors look at Svöðufoss, they’ll get a significant clue. Behind the falls rises Snæfellsjökull, with its glacier-capped summit! Meltwater from the glacier helps sustain nearly all the waterfalls on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

• Baejarfoss - The Bæjarfoss waterfall overlooks the small town of Ólafsvík. The waterfall’s name translates to “Town Falls,” and yes, Bæjarfoss is an easy walk from Ólafsvík!

• Kirkjufellsfossar - There will be an opportunity to see one of Iceland’s most iconic views: Kirkjufell Mountain rising steeply behind the Kirkjufellsfossar waterfall! Fans of Game of Thrones might find this spot particularly familiar.

• Kirkjufell Viewpoint - Unlike some of the other mountains seen today, Kirkjufell is not a volcano. Instead, it is a nunatak! Nunataks are mountain peaks that rise above surrounding glaciers. The erosion of these glaciers left Kirkjufell with its sheer sides and cylindrical shape.

• Grundarfjorour - Situated at the edge of a wide lava field known as Berserkjahraun, Grundarfjörður plays a significant role in Iceland’s fabled Eyrbyggja saga. The story tells of a 10th-century farmer named Viga-Styrr who employed two strong ‘berserkers’ to work his fields.

• Kolgrafarfjördur Viewpoint - In about a mile, Kolgrafarfjördur Viewpoint offers the final grand panorama of the tour. Reflect on all the sights seen today: basalt cliffs, ancient volcanoes, and fields of dark lava…
