Itinerary
Troll Expeditions
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreePick up from your accommodation or closest bus stop in Reykjavík. The pick up can take up to half an hour.Borgarnes
20 minsAdmission Ticket FreeOn the way to Snæfellsnes Peninsula, we will pass a wonderful little town called Borgarnes. The journey to this place is absolutely phenomenal – we will drive through a fjord and many scenic mountains. Borgarnes was one of the first places Norwegian Vikings settled when they arrived in Iceland.Ytri Tunga Beach
40 minsAdmission Ticket FreeYtri-Tunga is a sandy beach that has a little secret hidden away down by the sea, behind the farmhouses… a seal colony! Seals love to spend their time on the rocks of this beautiful beach. They are friendly and curious and will climb up on the rocks for you to spot them from a distance.Búðakirkja
40 minsAdmission Ticket FreeBúdakirkja, a historic black church on the south coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, was built in 1703 and reconstructed in 1987. Surrounded by lava rocks, it features an old graveyard and is a listed building owned by the National Museum of Iceland. This charming chapel offers a picturesque and romantic atmosphere.Arnarstapi
40 minsAdmission Ticket FreeArnarstapi is a charming fishing village nestled at the base of a mountain, boasting one of Iceland's most stunning harbors. The picturesque coastal cliffs, shaped by glowing magma and battered by Atlantic waves, have formed striking stone arches and a unique marine geyser over thousands of years. As we explore the coastline, we’ll share captivating tales of Bárður, the half-man, half-troll, and his legendary stories. Our visit also includes a stop at Gatklettur, a stunning natural stone arch, offering an incredible photo opportunity.Djupalonssandur Beach
40 minsAdmission Ticket FreeDjúpalónssandur is a striking beach of black volcanic sand and stones, historically used by Icelandic fishermen who rowed out to the rich fishing grounds of the Atlantic. The beach still features "lifting stones" that fishermen once used to test their strength, and you can try lifting them yourself. In 1948, a British fishing trawler ran aground on the sand reefs, resulting in the loss of five men, while 14 were rescued. The remains of the ship still lie scattered across the beach, serving as a haunting reminder of nature's immense power.Londrangar Basalt Cliffs
40 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Lóndrangar are a pair of rock pinnacles in Iceland and are remnants from a bigger crater which has mostly eroded away. Looming over the entire southern coastline, Lóndrangar, a set of 75-meter high basalt pinnacles set the tone for what’s to come. They host a variety of seabirds, northern fulmars and puffins, and others.Kirkjufell Mountain
40 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThis iconic narrow mountain has become the landmark of Snæfellsnes in recent years. It became famous after being presented as the “Arrowhead Mountain” on Game of Thrones. The erosive powers of the glaciers during the last ice age about 12,000 years ago gave this mountain its shape. Due to this unique look, it is one of the most photographed sights in Iceland.
