The Grapevine's take
Snæfellsnes Peninsula
The Snæfellsnes peninsula is often referred to as “Iceland In Miniature.” Why? Well, a one-day road trip grants you access to essentially every notorious Icelandic topography in one spot, including a sub-glacial volcano, ancient lava fields, geothermal hot springs, black sand beaches, waterfalls, canyons, and, of course, the Snæfellsjökull glacier. Follow Route 54 to circle around the area, but make sure to check out Stykkishólmur—it’s a gem of a coastal fishing village. You can easily make it there and back again from Reykjavík in twelve hours.

DESCRIPTION
- The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is often called ‘Miniature Iceland’ as basically every type of natural feature that makes the country famous can be found here, including waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes, lava fields, cliffs, and wildlife.
- One of the first stops is to admire huge basalt columns called Gerduberg, so perfectly shaped into hexagons that they barely seem natural.
- Along the way, you will visit small towns and fishing villages, see spectacular bird cliffs at Arnarstapi, and visit Ytri Tunga beach to watch the seals in their natural habitat. You also get to try the best lamb soup in the whole region, as well as other local dishes for your lunch.
- At Djupalonssandur beach (may not be accessible in winter), we will allow those who feel up to it to try their strength with the Stones of Trial.
- You will also stop by the picturesque church-shaped mountain Kirkjufell, which is accompanied by a wonderful little waterfall on the other side of the road. This place has become one of the top bucket list items for visitors coming to Iceland, not only thanks to Game of Thrones!
- The whole journey of the Snaefellsnes peninsula circles around the Snaefellsjokull volcano glacier, which you can admire from several stops on the tour.
