Description

Begin your adventure with a morning pickup from your hotel in Reykjavík. Head to Borgarnes, a charming town in western Iceland, about 70 km north of Reykjavík. It sits by the scenic Borgarfjörður fjord and is surrounded by stunning landscapes. Borgarnes is well known for its rich history and cultural heritage, particularly its connection to Iceland’s ancient sagas. The town offers cozy cafés, small shops, and a peaceful atmosphere — a perfect spot to rest and enjoy Icelandic nature and culture before continuing your journey through West Iceland. Next, visit Ytri Tunga Seal Beach, located on the southern coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Ytri Tunga is famous for its resident seals that can often be seen lounging on the rocks or playing in the shallow waters. Unlike Iceland’s many black-sand beaches, Ytri Tunga features golden sands and wide open views of the coastline. Continue to the Black Church of Búðir (Búðakirkja), one of Iceland’s most photographed landmarks, located in the small hamlet of Búðir on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This distinctive black wooden church stands in stark contrast to the surrounding lava fields and mountains, creating a unique and dramatic visual effect. Next, visit Arnarstapi, a small coastal village on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, celebrated for its striking coastal cliffs and fascinating geological formations. Once an important fishing and trading port, Arnarstapi is now a beloved travel destination. Stroll along the cliffs to see spectacular basalt rock formations, natural arches, and sea stacks carved by waves and time. Continue to Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach, located within Snæfellsjökull National Park. Djúpalónssandur is a wide black-sand beach known for its mysterious beauty. The beach is covered with countless smooth, rounded black pebbles, shaped by centuries of ocean waves. Walking along Djúpalónssandur feels like stepping into another world — surrounded by cliffs of ancient lava and moss-covered hills. Next, visit Ingjaldshólskirkja Church, a small and picturesque red-roofed church located in a beautiful area of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Its bright colors and isolated position make it a favorite stop for travelers and photographers alike. Many Icelanders fondly call it the “vision test house”, since its bold red color resembles the red blocks used in childhood eyesight charts. Finally, visit Kirkjufell Mountain, one of Iceland’s most iconic natural landmarks — and perhaps the most photographed mountain in the country. Rising 463 meters above sea level, its distinct cone shape resembles a pointed hat, earning it the nickname “Straw Hat Mountain.” At its base lies Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall, and together they form one of Iceland’s most stunning natural scenes.
