Klukkufoss

Reviewed By majacobi2000 - Zwickau, Germany

It's worth the short off road drive to a tiny parking spot next to a picnic table. 15 min hike on a path that you might miss if there's much snow. Beautiful!

Cave Vatnshellir

Follow the path of the lava flow, about 200 meters into the cave and 35 meters below the surface to see amazing colors and lava formations. The 8000 years old cave is located in Snaefellsjokull National Park, about 10 minute drive from Hellnar.

We went there spontaneously and it was just amazing. Walking through the caves with torches and being in total darkness for a short moment (just listening to the sound of the cave) was a great experience. Our guide was funny and very friendly and we would definitely recommend the visit.

Londrangar Basalt Cliffs

Reviewed By Allkuans - Singapore, Singapore

Most people would recommend this hike in one direction or the other. The most useful advice I found was parking at Malarrif and then do a return hike, ie, Malarrif-Londragar-Malarrif. However, I modified this slightly and this is my suggestion (if you are driving from Arnapstapi): 1. Park at Londrangar, walk to the viewing platform to see the basalt cliffs. 2. Drive a short distance further on to Malarrif, visit the excellent Tourist Information Centre. The toilet is open 24 hours. 3. Walk towards Londrangar as far as you wish to view the basalt cliffs, depending on your time availability. 4. Do a walk along the Malarrif beach as well. We

Glacier Tours Snaefellsjokull

We offer memorable tours by snowcat and snowmobiles to the top of the glacier Snæfellsjökull. The snowcat tour takes approx. 2,5 hours in total. From our location, the tour starts with a bus ride to the root of the mountain. The bus ride takes approx. 25 minutes. From there on we go by the snow cat to the peak of the glacier. Once on the summit we take a quick brake, where you can take your pictures and appreciate the stunning view of the Snæfellsnes peninsula, including the national park Snæfellsjökull. It's important for travellers to realise that views from the glacier are naturally dependent upon local wheather conditions at the given moment.

Rauofeldsgja

Reviewed By dr_j_now - Germantown, United States

As some others have mentioned, even just hiking up to the crevice entrance is more challenging than it looks. Since it's just a steady incline with no breaks it can be tiring. You'll definitely want waterproof shoes to go beyond the entrance at all since you'll be walking through a stream of water. There were a decent number of people here on the day we visited, but it wasn't terribly crowded. There were definitely many more people outside than inside.

Skardsvik Beach

Reviewed By 873KimT873 - Cologne, Germany

I happened upon Skarðsvík Beach during my drive of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula while I was on my way to Svörtuloft Lighthouse. It really looks stunning to see a golden beach in a country full of black sand beaches, especially against the lava rocks background and the blue sea. It looked almost tropical. It was very peaceful to walk along the shoreline and watch the crashing waves. Just be careful if you are visiting at high tide and/or it is very windy.
