What you'll do
Upon disembarking in Grundarfjörður, our guide will welcome you with a SHORE2SHORE sign to begin an unforgettable journey through the spectacular Snæfellsnes Peninsula, a land of contrasts where nature reveals its wildest and most breathtaking side. Along the western coast of Iceland, we will discover iconic mountains, volcanic beaches, majestic cliffs, and picturesque fishing villages.
Our first destination will be the majestic Mount Kirkjufell, known as "the most photographed mountain in Iceland." Its perfect silhouette and the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall, which gracefully cascades down its slopes, offer one of the country’s most iconic postcards.
We will continue to Arnarstapi, a charming coastal village where we can admire the stunning basalt cliffs, sculpted by nature over centuries. Here, our guide will share stories about Icelandic legends while we enjoy unforgettable views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Our final stop will take us to the enigmatic black beach of Djúpalónssandur, a landscape from another era where the sand has been replaced by small volcanic pebbles. Surrounded by lava formations, this beach is steeped in history, with remains of ancient shipwrecks and the legendary lifting stones that Icelandic sailors used to prove their strength. For those with reduced mobility, there is a viewpoint from which you can appreciate the beauty of this place without having to walk the more demanding trails.
After a day exploring these dreamlike landscapes, we will return to Grundarfjordur, carrying with us unforgettable memories of this land of magic and mystery.
At the end of the excursion, return to port and farewell.
