Overview

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a location where nature, history, and folklore converge, creating a place of rugged beauty and mysterious charm. Exploring the area through a private tour with a knowledgeable driver is an excellent way to experience its extensive offerings.

The drive is remarkably scenic, with a landscape that unfolds as a wonderful symphony of extinct volcanoes, hot springs, craters, and lava fields formed during volcanic activities in the distant past. Possible stops include the rock formations at Gerðuberg, the black church at Búðir, and the seals at Ytri Tunga beach.

The fishing villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar serve as reminders of Iceland's history as a fishing nation. Further out, Djúpalónssandur beach offers a breathtaking view, where a lava flow from the great volcano met the ocean, creating a natural harbour.

On the northern side of the peninsula lies the much photographed Kirkjufell, a cone-shaped mountain near the fishing village of Grundarfjörður.

Djupalonssandur Beach

From Lóndrangar we continue for another 15 minutes to reach Djúpalónssandur Beach. For centuries in the past farmers came here in winter to work on boats sailing out from the rugged volcanic coastline to the rich fishing grounds just off land. The massive lava flow that stopped here sometime in the distant past created a natural shelter where they set up camp. A reminder of these harsh times are four heavy rocks of different sizes which decided how much any individual got paid at the end of the season; a tenth, a quart, half or full pay, all depending on the weight they could lift after a journey that often took days over rugged terrain in the middle of winter. A trawler ran aground here in 1948 and has been disintegrating slowly since then leaving chunks of rusted iron the beach making this place the most extensive natural art installation in Iceland.

Kirkjufell Mountain

From Djúpalónssandur Beach we travel around the Peninsula, passing several fishing villages (about 2 hour drive with several small stops to take pictures). Named the church mountain this is a place that reminds us of Iceland ́s rich folklore and many myths. The first settlers most likely saw the mountain as some sort of a place of worship from either trolls or elves or even some other entities they thought were hanging out in the area. From Kirkjufell we go back to Reykjavík (about 2.5 hour drive).
