On this amazing journey around the Snæfellsnes peninsula, we will depart from Grundafjörður pier and head to our first stop, Malarrif Lighthouse. From there, we will drive to Saxhóll, where we will ascend approximately 385 steps for a spectacular view of craters and lava fields, including the Lóndrangabjarg cliffs. Next, we drive to Arnarstapi harbor and take a scenic 50-minute walk through the lava fields to Hellnar. At Hellnar, we will pause to enjoy some packed lunch before continuing to our final location, Rauðfellsgjá Canyon, where we will hike into the canyon. After our hike, we will return to the pier in Grundafjörður, concluding a long, beautiful, and active day exploring the most interesting and unique places of the Snæfellsnes peninsula.

Embark on an incredible journey around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, starting from Grundafjörður pier. Our first stop is Saxhóll Crater, where you can climb to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Next, we visit Malarif, a small town with a historic lighthouse that played a vital role for Icelandic fishermen for decades. Built in 1917 and rebuilt in 1947, the 20-meter-high lighthouse once guided fishermen navigating the rich waters along the shore. At the time, the nearby farm of Malarrif was one of the most isolated and westernmost farms on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. We then head to Hellnar for a brief photo and comfort stop before continuing to the picturesque fishing village of Arnarstapi. Along the way, we pass the striking volcanic plug of Londrangar, an area steeped in Icelandic sagas and folklore. In Arnarstapi, enjoy a scenic walk along a trail filled with geological wonders and rich birdlife. Our final stop is Rauðfeldsgjá, a stunning Icelandic fissure that hides a stream and a lush green chamber. The hike to the fissure, which takes about 30 minutes from the road, rewards visitors with an extraordinary experience that feels straight out of a fantasy film. Afterward, we return to Grundarfjörður, ending this memorable tour of Iceland’s natural beauty.
