The day begins with a scenic two-hour drive north from Reykjavik to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, where towering snow-capped mountains, ancient lava fields, and the cold Arctic sea await.
Arnarstapi is our first stop—a charming fishing village nestled among dramatic basalt cliffs and sea arches teeming with birdlife. Feel the power of nature as waves crash against the rugged coastline.
Next, we visit Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach, shaped by ancient lava flows from the Snæfellsjökull volcano. The beach is scattered with the haunting remains of a 1940s shipwreck, offering a glimpse into Iceland’s maritime history.
We continue to the remote western tip of the peninsula, where untouched volcanic landscapes surround the golden sands of Skarðsvík Beach—a rare contrast to Iceland’s iconic black sand shores.
Driving along the northern coastline, we pass through picturesque fishing villages before stopping at the breathtaking Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall, perfectly paired with the photogenic Kirkjufell Mountain—famous for its distinct cone shape.
A visit to the nearby Kolgrafafjörður Bay offers panoramic views and a chance to spot seals, dolphins, or even whales, thanks to the fish-rich waters that attract diverse wildlife.
Before heading back, we explore the surreal Berserkjahraun Lava Fields, where twisted, moss-covered lava formations tell stories of Iceland’s volcanic past.
For those seeking an extra layer of adventure, an optional stop at the Bjarnarhöfn Shark Museum reveals the secrets of Iceland’s traditional hákarl (fermented shark) and offers insight into the remote fishing communities that once thrived here.
After a full day of exploring wild landscapes and coastal wonders, we return comfortably to Reykjavik, leaving you with lasting memories of Iceland's raw beauty.
