Set out on this 2-day journey to explore the magical wonders of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, from breathtaking waterfalls and the splendid Snaefellsjokull Glacier to the captivating Northern Lights. The convenience of hotel pick-up and drop-off from Reykjavík is ensured. The transportation will be facilitated by a minibus, accompanied by a guide.
Day 1: Snaefellsnes area and Vatnshellir Cave
Your 2-day adventure tour starts with a morning pick up from the Reykjavik downtown area. From the capital you will drive along the scenic west coast to West Iceland. The first stop of the day will be at the small fishing village of Arnarstapi, where you will walk around and explore the surrounding area. From there we go underground, where you have an option (extra fees apply) to go into Vatnshellir cave which is located inside the Snæfellsnes National Park. The cave is about 8000 years old lava tube tunnel. This experience is as close you will get to the Jules Verne story, A Journey to the Center of Earth. If you are not joining the caving part, then the guide will take you walking around the area. Next up is Hellnar where you will stop for lunch (own expense) before continuing to the beautiful Djupalonssandur beach. There you will go on a short hike on the pebbles stone beach and explore the remains of the ship wreckage. On the beach, you may also find the lifting stones, where you can test your strength like the fishermen used to do in the good old days. If the forecast looks promising, then you will have the possibility to go hunt for the Northern Lights in the evening.
From Djupalonssandur, you will then continue your journey around Snaefellsnes peninsula, making a stop at the iconic and famous Mt. Kirkjufell, a favorite spot for many photographers
