Infinite Islets
The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a technicolour realm composed of exotic splashes of sere
lava, green waterfall-cut meadows, Arctic-blue water, and a dazzling ice cap. One its most
impressive vistas is Breiðafjörður - a bay reflecting cloud-filled skies and speckled with
thousands of isles.
Sand, Stone & Sagas
The Snæfellsnes' long peninsular arm offers endless options for active souls - long coastal
walks, hikes through lava fields, and rides on its infamous ice cap. History buffs can take a
trip back in time: the west is often dubbed Sagaland for its rich Viking history.
Off Course by Horse
The southern shores of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula are among the best places to ride the
small, tough Icelandic horse - follow the crests of sand or trot into the hills to find hidden
geothermal sources.
