  • See the prominent rock formations at Lóndrangar and the beautiful lighthouse at Malarrif

Lineup of natural wonders

The landscape of Snæfellsnes is characterized by sandy beaches, rocky shorelines, and jagged mountains. We stop at Djúpalónssandur, Lóndrangar, and Arnarstapi, with a harbor that many consider the most beautiful in Iceland. As we follow the line of cliffs, you can observe and photograph one of Iceland’s largest seabird colonies up close.
