All about the trip

Our first stop is Stykkishólmur, a small village is linked to Iceland by a small land strip. The pastel houses of this small harbor seem to be clung to the relief. Their facades and their roofs have some sweet colors of yellow, blue, purple or grey, and contrast with the rocks dotted with bright green grass.

Further west, we will visit the fishing harbor of Grundarfjörður. This is undoubtedly one of the prettiest landscapes of Iceland. Kirkjufell, lonely mountain, nicknamed the Mountain Church, seems to rise up from a dream with its waterfalls, its beautiful lake in which it is reflected, and its plains stretch away in front of you.

We will stop on a beautiful and tranquil beach Skarðsvík with a golden sand, blue waters and surrounded by stunning cliffs. This place offers amazing views out to the sea and a fascinating history.

Snæfellsjökull is a 1446 meters high volcano, covered with snow all year. On this magical space, you can discover strange formations of rocks which seem to have been carved, many plants and even have the chance to watch kittiwakes.

The journey through Lóndrangar region is rich in legends and tales. The place is surrounded by beautiful cliffs which are a paradise for lovers of birdwatching, as puffins and fulmars have their nests in the area.

Lost amid the basalt mountains, twin villages Hellnar and Arnarstapi are full of charm with a magical atmosphere, are connected by an extremely spectacular coastal road with a length of 2,5 km, where strange rock formations emerge from the water, like stone monsters.

Last stop is Búðir, a romantic, windswept location, a former fishing village located just a stone’s throw from the ocean.
