"This part of the country calls for outdoor exploration to the max. In Snaellfell Penninsula, visit the black pearl and golden sand beaches, hike up the volcano crater, and if you can handle it, go caving with Summit Group, where you will hang underground for a full hour with nothing but a flashlight, a guide, and some animal bones (kids will love this)."

We spent the entire day exploring the stunning Snaefellsnes Peninsula with Viator and our driver and guide, Ottar, made the experience exceptional. He was informative, friendly, and kept the tour engaging from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking, the pace was perfect, and Ottar’s local knowledge added so much to the journey. Highly recommend this tour — and be sure to ask for Ottar!

Snæfellsnes Peninsula is my favorite place in Iceland. You can walk for hours and fully immerse yourself in the stunning Icelandic nature. It is like a miniature version of the whole country in one spot. I saw seals, an arctic fox, breathtaking cliffs, and even a view of the famous southern black sand beaches from above. The sunset was absolutely magical. Even the road to get there feels like a sightseeing route. Truly unforgettable!

Snaefellsnes holds a special place in my heart, rent-free for life. Absolutely stunning landscape. I wished we have spent more time here 💕

A beautiful, stunning, national park. From the mountains to the ocean, it's all beautiful. If it's clear out you can see the snow-capped mountains and the glaciers. Go for a drive in the park and stop occasionally, it has some absolutely beautiful photography moments and it's very scenic. I'd love to go back during the winter and see how different it is than the summer.

This was nice but not one of my Iceland highlights. It’s a day trip from Reykjavik and is a prime destination for tourist buses. The biggest problem is there are so many people dumped into a quiet and serene spot. The bus riders are often oblivious to things around them, doing stupid stuff like grabbing photos in the middle of the highway or congregating in the middle of access to a site. The area is pretty but I’d skip it and continue Dow The ring road. In retrospect I wish I’d spent time on the west fjords

Beautiful place to visit but if the weather isn’t working in your favor it will reduce your experience a lot. Cloud coverage and wind were a huge problem the day that I went. I don’t mind the rain but when your going to see mountains cloud coverage is not ideal. Also trying to view the coast of a peninsula is very hard in extreme wind. Still lots of pretty views though.

Worth a full days trip from Reykjavik, for example with Reykjavik Excursions. The land is house to many birds and geological formations. Beautiful cliffs, rigid sea shores, black beaches, seals and so on. I strongly recommend to drive around the peninsula and dive into Icelands mind-blowing nature.
