Is it long enough?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Two days is an ideal length of time to explore the Snaefellsnes peninsula. This allows you to discover the peninsula&#8217;s must-see sites and get off the beaten track. You don&#8217;t need a 4WD, but you can go anywhere.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you have the opportunity to spend 2 days there instead of just one, we highly recommend it!<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Map of must-see attractions<\/h3>\n\n<p>To help you find your way around our itinerary below, here&#8217;s our map of the main tourist attractions in Snaefellsnes:<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/map-best-things-to-do-Snaefellsnes-attractions.jpg\" alt=\"map attractions Snaefellsnes must-see places\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Map: top attractions in Snaefellsnes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting around the Snaefellsnes peninsula<\/h3>\n\n<p>A car is essential for exploring Snaefellsnes. Route 54 circles the peninsula and remains well maintained. A conventional vehicle (2WD) is sufficient for most sites. Only mountain roads (570, F575) require 4WD. We highly recommend renting a vehicle to enjoy the freedom to stop whenever the scenery inspires you. The distances between attractions are short, making driving a pleasure.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Car option:<\/strong> See all our tips for <a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/renting-car-iceland-tips-experiences\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"1202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">renting a car in Iceland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Guided options:<\/strong> If you don&#8217;t want to drive, there are excursions departing from Reykjavik for 2 days, but these are combined with the Silver Circle or the Golden Circle, so there&#8217;s only one day in Snaefellsnes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/snaefellsnes-l87260?adults=1&amp;searchSource=8&amp;durationRanges=4&amp;partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=iceland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>See options.<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Snaefellsnes\/Drive\/i-DzQPQTK\/0\/K6k2GRxHpQCrVRf6WcwLcBrxZX3scftX4rwg2Vhh8\/L\/Snaefellsnes_drive-068-L.jpg\" alt=\"our car on the Snaefellsnes peninsula\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to sleep in Snaefellsnes<\/h3>\n\n<p>For this 2-day itinerary, we suggest you spend the night in Grundarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. This small fishing port lies at the foot of Kirkjufell, Iceland&#8217;s most photographed mountain. Enjoy sunrises and sunsets over this iconic silhouette.

The panoramic view of Lake Selvallavatn and the surrounding colorful hills is an excellent introduction to the geological diversity of Snaefellsnes.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to the lake, you can observe the lava field and surrounding volcanoes. We really enjoyed the different hues of the landscape, from the green of the moss to the ochre hues of the hills. Not far from the parking lot, a small waterfall called Selvallafoss is well worth a visit.  <\/p>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to stretch your legs, two short hikes leave from the parking lot: one to the lake and the other to Horn Hill, which offers an even wider panorama.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Allow 10 to 40min depending on how much you want to explore.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Snaefellsnes\/Road-56\/i-q5sfh7m\/0\/M3hZtScFr2mSk2VgdmxFZGWFTnsGGWbP2THqDDtPL\/L\/Road_56_Viewpoint-20-L.jpg\" alt=\"Selvallavatn lake and hills Snaefellsnes peninsula\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_1_%E2%80%93_Stop_2_Berserkjahraun_lava_field\"><\/span>Day 1 &#8211; Stop 2: Berserkjahraun lava field<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Continue to the north of the peninsula along route 558, known as Berserkjahraunsvegur. This unpaved tertiary road crosses one of Iceland&#8217;s most beautiful lava fields. The tormented shapes of the rock, softened by a carpet of intense green moss, create a landscape that seems frozen in time.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The route passes between two small fjords, Hraunsfj\u00f6rdur and Seljafj\u00f6rdur, adding beautiful views of the water and surrounding mountains.

On the way back, enjoy a tasting of &#8220;Viking Sushi&#8221;, freshly caught seafood.

The waterfall is already visible from the road and parking lot, giving a foretaste of the show. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the foot of the waterfall.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The more motivated can climb to the top (right-hand side), with an additional 30min round trip.

The Sv\u00f6\u00f0ufoss waterfall, still little visited, can be reached after a short 7-minute walk from the parking lot. The paved path leads directly to the foot of the waterfall.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The more motivated can climb above for an additional viewpoint (allow an extra 30min round trip). We liked the calm of this place, away from the crowds of the main sites.

Kirkjufell is Iceland&#8217;s most photographed mountain. Its conical silhouette, 463m high, stands on the water&#8217;s edge to the west of Grundarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. In the foreground, twin waterfalls, the Kirkjufellsfoss, complete a panorama that has become iconic.  <\/p>\n\n<p>We were struck by the beauty of the place at the end of the day, when the low-angled light sculpts the mountain relief. If you get there after 5pm, you&#8217;ll avoid the busloads of visitors that are concentrated between 10am and 3pm. Footpaths run alongside the waterfalls on both sides. It&#8217;s also possible to walk around the mountain, a seldom-visited loop. Camera-controlled pay parking.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Allow 30min to 1h.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/montagne-kirkjufell-cascades-islande-2\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"3672\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more in our article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Snaefellsnes\/Kirkjufellsfoss\/i-9F94pPf\/0\/NB64v4QjTptMMDpvwqhknmS7FWhfKmFkvjNhtjCHc\/L\/Kirkjufell%20l1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Kirkjufell and Kirkjufellsfoss Snaefellsnes peninsula\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_2_%E2%80%93_Stop_1_Saxholl_Crater\"><\/span>Day 2 &#8211; Stop 1: Saxh\u00f3ll Crater<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Continue to the western end of the peninsula to climb the Saxh\u00f3ll crater. This red volcanic cone, partly covered in moss, can be reached via a metal staircase that takes just a few minutes to reach the top. From up there, you&#8217;ll discover the interior of the crater and an exceptional view of the tip of the peninsula and the Snaefellsj\u00f6kull glacier. We found the climb easy and the panorama rewarding. Warning: in very strong winds, the staircase can become dangerous. Parking at the foot of the crater.

The whole area is part of the Snaefellsj\u00f6kull National Park, with marked trails.

From Grundarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, it&#8217;s about a 50-minute drive.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Allow 15-30 minutes for the lighthouse and museum.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Snaefellsnes\/Malarrif\/i-LtkWDmX\/1\/NRn7Jm2GKBjBX3Fn8xNvK7JDQ4FGNqj4BwLwtJK9v\/L\/Malarrif_Iceland-4972-L.jpg\" alt=\"L&#xF3;ndrangar Snaefellsnes lighthouse and museum\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_2_%E2%80%93_Stop_4_Londrangar_cliffs\"><\/span>Day 2 &#8211; Stop 4: L\u00f3ndrangar cliffs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>A short drive away, the L\u00f3ndrangar cliffs are among the peninsula&#8217;s most beautiful sites. These two basalt pillars are the remains of an ancient crater eroded by the ocean.

Its main attraction lies in the walk along the cliffs, which reveals spectacular lava formations: the natural arch of Gatklettur, rock bridges and columns sculpted by erosion. The trail follows the coastline for about 15 minutes one way. For us, who appreciate rock formations, it was a real treat, especially with the view of the mountains in the background when the sky is clear. The path is well-maintained and accessible to people with reduced mobility.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Allow around 1 hour for the whole walk.<br\/>There are restaurants, caf\u00e9s and a petrol station on site.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Snaefellsnes\/Arnarstapi\/i-fZcW9SG\/0\/LNDqvTNQcXQd8VDmhnM7nsMwtpWksjDHTTFX4NNRs\/L\/Arnarstapi-L.jpg\" alt=\"Gatklettur cliffs and arch Arnarstapi Snaefellsnes\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_2_%E2%80%93_Stop_6_Raudfeldsgja_Canyon\"><\/span>Day 2 &#8211; Stop 6: Raudfeldsgja Canyon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Head east again for a stop at the Rau\u00f0feldsgj\u00e1 canyon, a narrow gorge carved out of the mountains on the south coast of Snaefellsnes. It&#8217;s possible to venture out on foot, making your way between the rock faces squeezed above a small stream. The deeper you go into the gorge, the tighter the passage becomes, and the terrain becomes slippery: some sections require you to climb over wet rocks.  <\/p>\n\n<p>At the far end, a small waterfall marks the point where progress becomes difficult. We recommend hiking boots, as the stones are very slippery. The site is very busy in high season, so it&#8217;s best to visit in the early afternoon to avoid long waits.<\/p>\n\n<p>Allow 30min to 1h depending on your progress.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Snaefellsnes\/Raudfeldsgja\/i-jLvX3mD\/0\/L6ZghbHGn5zHh2VK7kBsrrGCTvZs2XjhnDZJXhRcS\/L\/Raudfeldsgja-L.jpg\" alt=\"canyon Raudfeldsgja\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile texte_planif has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#06aec417\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column img_icone is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image image_icone\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/iceland-plane.png\" alt=\"iceland plane\" class=\"wp-image-3771\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:100px;height:100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/iceland-plane.png 400w, https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/iceland-plane-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/iceland-plane-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/iceland-plane-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center paragraphe_une is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">It&#8217;s time to book!<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/skyscanner.pxf.io\/dONaXy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>Compare everything:<\/strong> companies, prices, schedules and availability.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_2_%E2%80%93_Stop_7_Budakirkja_the_black_church\"><\/span>Day 2 &#8211; Stop 7: Budakirkja, the black church<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Last stop on your itinerary: B\u00fa\u00f0akirkja, a small all-black church, isolated in the middle of a lava field on the south coast.

This glacier-volcano, the peninsula&#8217;s highest point at 1,446m, inspired Jules Verne to write his novel <em>Journey to the Center of the Earth<\/em>. The tour lasts around 7 hours round trip and takes place mainly on the glacier, which offers a 360\u00b0 view of Snaefellsnes and the ocean. A guide is compulsory because of the crevasses. No previous glacier experience is required, but glacier equipment is provided. Not recommended for children under 16. <a href=\"https:\/\/guidetoiceland.is\/book-holiday-trips\/snaefellsjokull-glacier-hike-1?a=101796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>Reserve your place<\/strong><\/a> (groups fill up fast).<\/p>\n\n<p>For a less physical alternative, ATV <a href=\"https:\/\/guidetoiceland.is\/book-holiday-trips\/snaefellsjokull-atv-adventure?a=101796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>ATV tours<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/guidetoiceland.is\/book-holiday-trips\/snaefellsjokull-atv-adventure?a=101796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>groomer<\/strong><\/a> allow you to approach the glacier without hiking (3h, January to September, departure from Arnarstapi).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Snaefellsnes\/Snaefellsjokull\/i-KRKzt8c\/0\/LDP2R4MXNxqrhZxvp8wmnx9cJ8fScmD2nJLhTGJch\/L\/Snaefellsjokull-L.jpg\" alt=\"Snaefellsj&#xF6;kull glacier Snaefellsnes summit\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternative_2_with_Vatnshellir_cave\"><\/span>Alternative 2: with Vatnshellir cave<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to add an underground experience to your itinerary, Vatnshellir Cave can easily be combined with the Day 2 tours.
