Your guide welcomes you at your meeting point and your adventure begins in the small village of Grundarfjörður, where your vessel is anchored, and where your tour bus awaits, ready to transport you to some of the top sites of Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Your first destination is Malarrif, a gateway to the Snæfellsjökull National Park.

Continuing along the winding road of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, discover the Maritime Museum in Hellissandur. Immerse yourself in the local fishing traditions and explore a turf house, gaining insights into Icelanders' lives not so long ago.
The grand finale awaits at Kirkjufell, an iconic peak that has captured the attention of photographers worldwide. Marvel at its cone-shaped silhouette elegantly rising above the earth, with cascading waterfalls adding an ethereal touch. Game of Thrones enthusiasts may recognize this mystical location as the "arrow-head mountain".
