Soak up breathtaking imagery on this unforgettable full-day tour that begins with a scenic drive to Helgafell, 'the holy mountain,' which plays a pivotal part in the Laxdœla Saga, an ancient Icelandic love story. Travel to Stykkisholmur, a thriving city with magnificent terrain and well-preserved Icelandic homes. If skies are clear, snap pictures of Snæfellsjökull, a glacier-covered stratovolcano made famous by 'Journey to the Center of the Earth.' After lunching at a local eatery, visit Arnarstapi, a quaint fishing hamlet with dazzling volcanic rock formations and awe-inspiring cliffs, home to a thriving bird colony. In lovely Hellnar, photograph Valasnös, a giant, protruding cliff, and stop by Snæfellsnes National Park's visitor center. On Djupalonssandur's black-pebbled beach, see four giant lifting stones used to test fishermen's strength. Marvel at the smooth stones covering the shore and the unique tinkling sound they produce when the tide rushes out.
