The itinerary in detail
The 90-km long Snaefellsnes peninsula is often referred to as “Iceland in miniature”. Dominated by the majestic Snaefellsjokull glacier volcano, it offers an incredible variety of sights and hidden treasures - desolate lava fields and fascinating rock formations, windswept beaches with inspiring coastal views, orca whales and bird colonies. The picturesque Kirkjufell mountain and waterfall just outside of the Grundarfjordur town is a very popular icon of the region.
