Snæfellsnes Peninsula & West Iceland Adventure

What you’ll do

Touring West Iceland and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula will give you the opportunity to explore and experience a very broad range of things that Iceland has to offer. This ranges from black sand beaches, glaciers, hot sprints, waterfalls and cultural sights. You will also avoid some of the crowds from the South Coast. You can either start with West Iceland and then do the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, or the other way around by starting on the Peninsula and finishing in West Iceland.

As mentioned, you can either start with West Iceland or flip the itinerary around and do the Snæfellsnes Peninsula first. Day 1 here assumes that you are starting in West Iceland, but this could as well be day 3/4. On this day, you will experience some of the top spots in West Iceland - famous for it’s sagas and culture. There are multiple options for hot-spring and spa experiences but I suggest just doing 1. The Hvammsvík baths are the newest addition. If you’re staying at Hotel Húsafell, then I suggest going to the Canyon Baths.
