The Snaefellsnes Peninsula
Dramatic Coastline and Abundant Volcanic Features
Visit Snaefellsnes on a superb super jeep excursion leaving from Reykjavik and explore an enchanting area to the north west only few hours from the capital. We get to this outstretched arm to the north west of Reykjavik boasting a dramatic coastline and abundant volcanic features including the glacier, Snaefellsjokull. The peninsula stretches out into the North Atlantic with the magnificent snow-capped glacier, Snaefellsjokull covering a volcano and also its highest top. The impressive landscape was formed by centuries of volcanic activity and it is extraordinary. With lava, mountains and the glacier dominating, along with extensive farmland, the peninsula is edged with a windswept sandy coastline to the south and a rugged coastline to west and north with high bird cliffs, off shore sea stacks and wild waters.
On this tour visit beautiful Budir; Olafsvik, a charming old fishing village on the north coast of Snaefellsnes, Iceland's oldest trading town which dates back to 1687 and Stykkisholmur, built around a natural harbor. This charming fishing town is the largest on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, which sits on a promontory overlooking beautiful Breidarfjordur Bay. And of course Snaefellsjokull gives you breathtaking views over the peninsula. It is said that the glacier has mystical powers and that it is the gateway to another world. There is no doubt that this area has a special fascination and many people find its scenery tremendously inspiring. Traveling in a super jeep is the best way to explore this remarkable area.
