Snaefellsnes Peninsula Holidays

Embark on a journey to the awe-inspiring land of Snaefellsnes, just under two hours to the north-west of Reykjavik, where nature's grandeur takes centre stage. The Snaefellsnes region is a starkly beautiful peninsula jutting out into the North Atlantic on Iceland's western coast. This breath-taking peninsula beckons adventurers with its diverse landscapes, from creaking glaciers and towering mountains to serene black sand beaches. In the long summer days, when the sun hardly sets, holidays on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula revolve around fishing for sea trout or river salmon, whale watching, or snowmobiling on the glacier-topped volcano that dominates the end of the peninsula. Discover local culture, literature and history as you visit historic sites such as the mesmerizing Bjarnarfoss Waterfall, the dramatic Arnarstapi Cliffs and the crater of Snæfellsjökull, that famously leads to the Centre of the Earth according to Jules Verne. When legs get weary and fingers and toes feel frosty, choose to bed down on your Snaefellsnes Peninsula holiday in anything from a cosy guesthouse to a swanky hotel, and end each day with a sense of wonder and awe for the world around you.
