About this activity

After a free pick up from your hotel in Reykjavik, we'll head towards the Snæfellsnes peninsula.
We'll go through the Hvalfjörður tunnel, under the fjord and past the town of Borgarnes. On the way, we´ll stop for a short bathroom break and for you to pick up any snacks (own expense).
When we get to the peninsula, after driving past the cool Eldborg crater, we´ll stop at a black sand beach where you can walk around and watch the birds playing.
Next, we´ll drive to Arnarstapi, below the magnificent Stapafell in the vicinity of Snæfellsjökull glacier where Jules Verne's "Journey to the center of the earth" took place.
From Arnarstapi you´ll walk to Hellnar and have lunch. It's no ordinary walk but takes you along a magnificent rock formation by the coast. We know not everyone's up for a long walk so riding the bus to Hellnar is no problem at all if you'd instead rest. We´ll let you in on a little secret: at Hellnar you´ll find Iceland's best fish soup. It's amazing.
Next up: Shipwrecks at Skipalónssandur beach.
After learning about their history, we´ll drive to the small town of Grundarfjörður where you´ll see mount Kirkjufell and a beautiful waterfall.
After that, we´ll go through the Berserkjahraun lava field and stop at a lovely viewing spot on the Vatnaleið pass.
The final stop before heading back to Reykjavík is at the stunning Gerðuberg basalt columns.
On your way home you can enjoy the free wifi on board your bus, upload pictures, and videos for friends and family to see. Of course, this is a guided tour in a small group setting, so you´ll be informed of the history of each spot, and your guide will tell you about anything else of interest along the way so you definitely won't be bored.
