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!
2. Cave Vatnshellir
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 443 reviews
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.

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.

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.

We just spotted this from the road (like everyone else) so hopped out for a closer look. Two of us climbed the steep little path past the bridge viewpoint to get nearer the top - recommended if you have the time and agility and a waterproof coat! Otherwise you can see the falls well from the bottom. A good little stop on a Snaefellsnes road trip.

If you have the chance drive north from Reykjavik to Snaefellsjokull national park. Its about 2 hours. Do the loop road around the park for stunning views at every turn. Its all of Iceland wrapped up into 1 park. Stunning waterfalls, great coastal views, mountains, scenic roads, beach walks. Its go it all.
