What To Expect

Berserkjahraun

Berserkjahraun is a vast and dramatic lava field, formed over 4,000 years ago by a violent volcanic eruption. Stretching across the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and bordering a tranquil lake, the area offers a striking contrast between jagged black lava and the serene Icelandic landscape. We'll pause here to take in the panoramic views while your guide shares the captivating legend behind the name—an ancient tale of Viking berserkers, love, and betrayal that has become part of local folklore. During the summer months, your visit becomes even more magical as we venture down a lesser-known path to discover a hidden waterfall nestled in the rugged terrain. This secret spot, surrounded by moss-covered lava and untouched nature, is a perfect place to connect with the quiet beauty of the Icelandic wilderness. It’s a moment of peace and wonder that many travelers never get to experience.

Bjarnarhofn Shark Museum

A visit to the Shark Museum in Snæfellsnes offers a unique glimpse into one of Iceland’s most unusual and enduring traditions—fermenting Greenland shark. Located on a remote coastal farm, this family-run museum showcases the age-old techniques used to prepare hákarl, a traditional Icelandic delicacy. As you explore the exhibits, your guide will explain the fascinating (and slightly infamous) fermentation process, as well as the history of shark fishing in the region and its importance to Icelandic survival in earlier centuries. You'll also have the chance to meet the family behind the operation and learn how these methods have been passed down through generations. For the adventurous, a tasting of hákarl is available—a bold culinary experience not for the faint of heart! Whether you're curious about Icelandic food culture or eager to step off the beaten path, the Shark Museum is a memorable and authentic stop along the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Malariff Lighthouse

Malariff, located on the wild southern coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, is a place where the raw power of the Atlantic meets the quiet beauty of Iceland’s rugged shoreline. As you approach, the dramatic cliffs and volcanic rock formations set the stage for a windswept, almost otherworldly landscape. From here, we’ll take a gentle walk along a scenic coastal path that leads to the Malariff lighthouse—a striking white structure standing tall against the dark lava fields and open sea. Along the way, your guide will share insights into the area’s geology, maritime history, and the role the lighthouse has played in guiding seafarers for over a century. The panoramic ocean views, crashing waves, and distant sight of Snæfellsjökull glacier on a clear day make this walk both peaceful and invigorating. It’s a beautiful blend of nature, solitude, and Icelandic coastal charm that invites quiet reflection and stunning photo opportunities.

Along the way, stunning rock formations shape the dramatic coastline, making it a paradise for photographers.

Bjarnarfoss

Bjarnarfoss is a stunning waterfall cascading gracefully down the cliffs of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, easily spotted from the main road yet still wonderfully uncrowded. Fed by glacial meltwater, this tall and slender waterfall plunges over 80 meters in a dramatic descent from the volcanic hills above. At its base, a charming footpath leads you closer to the falls, where you can feel the refreshing mist and admire the wildflowers that bloom in summer around the mossy rocks. Your guide will share the folklore tied to the waterfall’s name, said to be connected to a legendary figure from Icelandic sagas. Whether you choose to admire it from afar or hike up for a closer view, Bjarnarfoss offers a peaceful and photogenic moment amid the powerful nature of the Snæfellsnes region. It’s a perfect example of Iceland’s quiet beauty—accessible, awe-inspiring, and steeped in local legend.
