About this tour

This immersive tour through the Snæfellsnes Peninsula takes you off the beaten path to some of the region’s most breathtaking and culturally rich destinations. Begin with a stop at the dramatic Berserkjahraun lava field , where jagged black lava flows meet tranquil lakes. As your guide shares the gripping Viking legend tied to this otherworldly landscape, you’ll feel transported to another time. In summer, a hidden path reveals a secluded waterfall nestled in the lava, offering a quiet, magical moment in nature.

Next, dive into Icelandic tradition at the Shark Museum , where you’ll learn the fascinating process behind fermenting Greenland shark—an enduring local delicacy. Meet the family keeping this centuries-old method alive and, if you're feeling adventurous, sample hákarl for yourself. From there, we’ll journey to the picture-perfect Kirkjufell , one of Iceland’s most photographed mountains, flanked by its charming waterfalls and a truly iconic landscape that has inspired photographers and filmmakers alike.

The tour continues along the dramatic coastline to Malariff , where a scenic walk leads to a solitary lighthouse standing guard over the Atlantic, and Arnarstapi , a charming fishing village known for its basalt cliffs, sea arches, and lively bird colonies. Finally, we visit Bjarnarfoss , a tall, ribbon-like waterfall that tumbles from the cliffs above, framed by volcanic rock and summer wildflowers. With its blend of folklore, history, geology, and coastal beauty, this tour offers a perfect taste of everything that makes Snæfellsnes the “Iceland in Miniature.”
