Itinerary

1

Borgarnes

A welcoming gateway to West Iceland

Pause in a historic seaside town beside Borgarfjörður, where colourful rooftops, mountain views and stories from Iceland’s settlement era set the tone before the peninsula grows wilder.

2

Ytri Tunga

Golden sand and a resident seal colony

Visit a rare golden-sand beach where harbour and grey seals often rest on seaweed-covered rocks. Wildlife sightings remain natural, while the sweeping coast is beautiful in every season.

3

Arnarstapi

Sea arches, basalt cliffs and Atlantic drama

Walk through a historic fishing hamlet to a coastline sculpted into columns, caves and natural bridges. Waves, seabirds and views towards Snæfellsjökull give the stop extraordinary energy.

4

Djúpalónssandur

Black pebbles and seafaring history

Descend through twisted lava to a polished black-pebble cove beneath Snæfellsjökull. Rusted shipwreck remains and traditional lifting stones connect the spectacular shore to generations of local fishermen.

5

Lýsuhóll horse farm

Included lunch in a warm countryside setting

Enjoy the included lunch at Lýsuhóll, a local horse farm. It is a welcoming cultural pause between the peninsula’s coastal landscapes and its famous mountain views.

6

Kirkjufell & Kirkjufellsfoss

Iceland’s most recognisable mountain composition

Frame the elegant cone of Kirkjufell above the small cascades of Kirkjufellsfoss. Mountain, water and open sky combine in one of Iceland’s most rewarding and unmistakable photographic scenes.

7

Return to Reykjavík

A final sweep across West Iceland

Relax on the journey back after a full day of glacier-volcano views, fishing villages, dramatic beaches and the Atlantic coast.
