Bjarnarhofn Shark Museum - A visit to the Shark Museum in Snæfellsnes offers a unique insight into one of Iceland’s most unusual and enduring traditions—fermenting Greenland shark.

As visitors explore the exhibits, the guide will explain the fascinating (and slightly infamous) fermentation process, as well as the history of shark fishing in the region and its significance to Icelandic survival in earlier centuries. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet the family behind the operation and learn how these methods have been passed down through generations.

Along the way, the 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.

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 visitors closer to the falls, where they can feel the refreshing mist and admire the wildflowers that bloom in summer around the mossy rocks. The guide will share the folklore tied to the waterfall’s name, said to be connected to a legendary figure from Icelandic sagas. Whether admired from afar or up close, Bjarnarfoss offers a peaceful and photogenic moment amid the powerful nature of the Snæfellsnes region.
