This was a wonderful ride! The landscape was stunning, the horses were great, and Julia was a fabulous guide (I was able to easily schedule with her via email). This ride was a completely different experience than the Iceland beach ride we had earlier in the trip, because this terrain was mountainous and rugged. The horses are perfectly suited for traversing it, just as they have for centuries. We lucked out with wonderful weather and could enjoy the green and sun on the farm's gorgeous property.

4. Statue “Syn" by Steinunn Porarinsdottir
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
The statue “Sýn" stands next to the church in Grundarfjörður. It is a tribute to the life and work of fishermen and was created by Steinunn Þórarinsdóttir. She is a famous Icelandic artist who has exhibited widely in Europe, Japan, the USA, and Australia. The key element of this sculpture is a sailor woman looking out at sea. She stands on a high basalt column, a rock that characterizes Snæfellsnes. The shape of Kirkjufell is the second key element. It is made out of steel and represents the sea. This is a must-see when visiting Grundarfjörður and a wonderful opportunity to enjoy and photograph the famous Mt Kirkjufell from a different perspective.
5. Orca Sculpture
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
In 2016, a life-sized model of an orca was erected in the center of Grundarfjörður in Paimpol Park. This piece of art by Unnsteinn Guðmundsson is modeled after a special male orca named “Thunderstorm” that often visits the Snæfellsnes peninsula with his family. Snæfellsnes is the only area in Iceland where orcas are seen regularly and this sculpture shall raise awareness of these fascinating animals.

Overall Ratings

Laki Tours takes you on an ocean adventure in four different trips. Puffins galore can be spotted from the protected Melrakkaey island where thousands of other birds also nest. Sea-angling is the perfect family outing and gets even more exciting when you get to keep your catch. From Olafsvik, the Whale tour gives excellent whale watching in deep waters at the foot of the majestic Snaefellsjokull Glacier. Winter brings the orcas, dolphins and white-tailed eagles. We take you to them on what is by now, our most popular tour. "We're living it!"

Worth the long drive to see this iconic mountain from all sides! Grundafjordur to east is nearest place for food and petrol. There is also a fabulous waterfall opposite.
8. Kirkjufellsfoss

Reviewed By Ranger145 - Grand Junction, United States
This waterfall although not huge is a must if on the Snafellsjokull Peninsula! The access and walkup is very easy and the view toward Kirkjufellsfell Mountain is worth it. The parking lot is small which may require you to park across the road if busy. 10 minute climb to the view point.
