Regions

Snæfellsnes Peninsula

Iceland in miniature

Snæfellsnes holds almost everything the island has in one long arm: lava fields, golden and black beaches, basalt cliffs, small harbours and the Snæfellsjökull glacier at its tip.

Best season: All year · [ 64° 52′ 00″ N, 23° 46′ 60″ W ]

Experiences here

  • Icelandic horse riding

    A small, sure-footed breed with a gait of its own, the tölt. Private rides across lava fields and river plains.

  • Private chef dinners

    Langoustine, lamb, Arctic char and skyr, cooked for you at the lodge or in a remote hut by a private chef.

  • Aurora hunting

    We watch the forecasts and the cloud cover and drive to wherever the sky is clearest — with blankets, hot chocolate and a photographer if you wish.
