Snaefellsnes the magical peninsula, the Westfjords and Borgarfjordur

This is a great three day tour around the remarkable Snaefellsnes Peninsula and the less traavelled southern side of the Westfjords north of Snaefellsnes.

On our first day, we visit all the highlights, in Snæfellsnes including the tranquil fishing village of Arnarstapi, the historical fishing station of Djúpalónsandur, the magnificent rocks of Lóndrangar, viewing the powerful ice-capped volcano of Snaefellsjokull, and drive through the thriving fishing towns of Grundarfjordur and Olafsvik. The day ends at a comfortable 3 bedroom cottage on the outskirts of Stykkisholmur.

On the second day, we take the ferry across the fjord Breiðafjordur, among numerous islands, teeming with birdlife, and spend the day exploring the magnificent bird cliffs at Látrabjarg and the Red sand beach. We return to our cottage in the evening.

On the third day, we return to Reykjavik by driving through the historical area of Borgarfjord where we visit the world's largest geothermal hot spring and the lava-waterfalls Hraunfossar.

Pickup at 08. 00 am at your hotel in the Reykjavik area.

The first leg takes us to the idyllic fishing village of Arnarstapi. Next we visit the lavacave Vatnshellir.

Our day ends in the historical town of Stykkisholmur.

The second day starts with taking the carferry across Breidafjord and we visit Látrabjarg, the largest bird cliff in the world.

We return to Stykkisholmur in the evening. Our third day we head back to Reykjavik via Borgarfjordur where we stop by Deildartunguhver, the worlds largest hot spring and Hraunfossar The lava waterfalls, and have a late lunch at a nice cafe in the greenhouse village of Kleppjárnsreykir.
