Itinerary and highlights
Snæfellsjökull which is Snæfellsness’s main attraction is a 1446m ( 4744ft) dormant strato-volcano with a 200m (656ft) crater. The astonishing glacier towers over the Snæfellsnes National park at the tip of the peninsula. The glacier is known to be one of the world’s seven energy centers (chakras) and some belief it to be a meeting place for extraterrestrials.
Because of the strong energy field coming from the glacier, you can’t escape feeling re-energized after your stay there. The amazing Snæfellsjökull volcano has not erupted in the last 1800 years. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula’s communities were the first among European communities
to receive the EarthCheck certification which is an international system used as a benchmark for sustainability in travel and tourism.
The seal colony at Ytri-Tunga is a sandy beach where the seals like to hang out at. The favorable time to spot them is over the summer months of June, July, and August. You’ll have the chance to get pretty close to them by climbing the rocks.
The Black little church is also a popular spot to visit and photo. This historic church is located in Budir and has a small beautiful cemetery next to it. The hidden gem is great to take photos with since it is located in the lava field.
At the Bjarnarhofn shark museum, you’ll have a chance to learn all about sharks as well as take part in the popular tradition of tasting a rotten shark which is definitely an experience you want to have as a story to tell later.
