During this breathtaking half-day tour, explore beautiful sections of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula starting with Djupalonssandur, a former fishing village featuring black-pebbled beach and four legendary lifting stones once used to test fishermen's strength. Feel the silky-softness of the beach's time-smoothed black pebbles. In the ancient fishing village of Hellnar, snap photos of stunning volcanic rock formations, including Valasn?s, a magnificent protruding cliff, and visit Snaefellsnes National Park's visitor center. In Arnarstapi, an enchanting hamlet featured in several Icelandic legends, explore the area's splendid cliffs to view endless seabirds including for kittiwakes, fulmars and artic terns.
