Snaefellsnes Area and Vatnshellir Cave

Hallgrimskirkja - Begin a 2-day adventure tour with a morning pick-up from downtown Reykjavik. Travel from the capital along the picturesque west coast to West Iceland.

Arnarstapi Center and Snjófell Restaurant - The first stop is the charming fishing village of Arnarstapi, where you can stroll around and explore the local surroundings.

Vatnshellir Cave - From Arnarstapi, venture underground with an optional visit (additional fees apply) to Vatnshellir Cave, located within Snæfellsnes National Park. This 8,000-year-old lava tube tunnel offers an experience reminiscent of Jules Verne’s “A Journey to the Center of the Earth.” If you choose not to enter the cave, the guide will lead a walk around the area.

Dritvik and Djupalonssandur - Next, head to Hellnar for lunch (at your own expense) before continuing to the stunning Djupalonssandur beach. Enjoy a short hike on the pebble stone beach and explore the remnants of a shipwreck. You might also find lifting stones on the beach, where you can test your strength like the fishermen of old. If the weather forecast is favorable, there may be an opportunity to hunt for the Northern Lights in the evening.

Kirkjufell Mountain - From Djupalonssandur, continue the journey around the Snaefellsnes peninsula, stopping at the iconic Mt. Kirkjufell, a favorite spot for photographers, before retiring to your accommodation for the night.

Exploring The West of Iceland

Deildartunguhver Thermal Spring - The first stop of the day is Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring, which provides heating for all the nearby towns.

Sturlureykir Horses/Visiting Horse Farm - Sturlureykir Horse Farm, a family-run establishment near Reykholt in western Iceland, is renowned for its gentle Icelandic horses and welcoming atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the stables, learn about traditional horse breeding, and see the use of geothermal energy on the farm.

Hraunfossar - After absorbing the history of Reykholt, the next stop is the breathtaking Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls. Witness the water flowing from beneath the lava fields and hear the tale of Barnafoss waterfall. Depart from the beautiful Borgarfjordur area afterward.

Gerduberg Basalt Columns - On the return journey to Reykjavik, stop by the Gerduberg Basalt Columns.

Hallgrimskirkja - The tour concludes in Reykjavik, with an expected return around 6:00 pm.

Reykholt - Reykholt’s history extends beyond Snorri Sturluson; it was an early settlement and church site from the 10th century. Its geothermal springs were vital resources long before and after his time. After Snorri’s death, it became an important ecclesiastical and cultural center, still thriving today.
