Full description

This private full-day shore excursion from Grundarfjörður is the perfect way to explore the diverse beauty of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called "Iceland in Miniature" for its incredible variety of landscapes.

Begin your journey with a visit to Kirkjufell, the most photographed mountain in Iceland, with its distinctive shape and nearby waterfalls. Continue to Djúpalónssandur, a black pebble beach filled with the echoes of shipwrecks and framed by volcanic cliffs.

Next, stop at Arnarstapi, a charming fishing village with dramatic sea cliffs and coastal rock formations shaped by centuries of powerful ocean waves. From there, visit the striking Búðakirkja, a black wooden church set against a backdrop of lava fields and rugged mountains.

Your final scenic stop is Ytri Tunga Beach, where golden sands and curious seals often await you near the shoreline. Throughout the tour, your private guide will share stories and insights about the region’s folklore, history, and natural wonders.

My sister and I chose the Folklore Tour and would recommend to anyone, who is also curious about the darker side of folklore. Einar was our guide and he really brought the stories to life - many jokes, committed dramatic performances and a clear passion for folklore

Maria G was punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable. It was very rainy and windy. She made the experience fun. I would highly suggest her as a Icelandic Food Tour guide.
