Detailed itinerary

1

Unlike many of Iceland’s dramatic black sand shores, Ytri Tunga stands out with its lighter, warm‑hued sand, rocky shorelines, gentle dunes, and views out over the Atlantic.
Its biggest draw is the seal colony. Both harbour (common) seals and grey seals frequent the area, sunbathing on the rocks or swimming close to the shore, especially at low tide in summer.

2

Arnarstapi is a small fishing village on the south coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West Iceland. It’s quiet, scenic, and rich in both natural beauty and folklore.
The village is surrounded by striking basalt cliffs, grottos, ravines, and lava formations. There’s abundant seabird life: arctic terns, fulmars, kittiwakes nesting on the cliffs.
A statue of Bárður Snæfellsás (a mythic figure from Icelandic saga) sits on the shore. It’s prominent and blends into the wild surroundings.

3

Djúpálónssandur is a black pebble beach on the south coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, famous for its dramatic lava formations and remnants of a shipwreck scattered along the shore. The beach offers stunning views of rugged cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean, plus a chance to test your strength with the traditional lifting stones. It’s a great spot for exploring Iceland’s raw coastal beauty.

4

Ingjaldshólskirkja is a picturesque white church with a red roof, perched atop a hill near Hellissandur on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Built in 1903, it is the oldest concrete church in Iceland.
The church is surrounded by expansive views of the surrounding landscape, making it a popular spot for photography.

The church's striking appearance and serene setting make it a notable landmark in the region.

Stop 5

Kirkjufellsfoss is a charming waterfall located near the iconic Kirkjufell mountain on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Its three-tiered cascade creates a perfect foreground for photos of Kirkjufell, making it one of Iceland’s most photographed spots.

6

Berserkjahraun is a vast lava field on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, known for its rugged, twisted lava formations and rich folklore about berserkers—warriors from Icelandic sagas. It’s a fascinating landscape to explore, offering a raw, otherworldly feel and a glimpse into Iceland’s volcanic past.

7

Located on the north coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Stykkishólmur is a beautiful harbor town made famous by The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. You can also enjoy great views of the sea and nearby islands from a small hill. With its colorful houses and views over Breiðafjörður Bay, it offers quiet charm and cinematic beauty along your journey through West Iceland.
