Your guide welcomes you at your meeting point and your adventure begins in the small village of Grundarfjörður, where your vessel is anchored, and where your tour bus awaits, ready to transport you to some of the top sites of Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Your first destination is Malarrif, a gateway to the Snæfellsjökull National Park.

The grand finale awaits at Kirkjufell, an iconic peak that has captured the attention of photographers worldwide.

Game of Thrones enthusiasts may recognize this mystical location as the "arrow-head mountain".
