Discover the Snæfellsnes Peninsula with a local, family-run company based in Grundarfjörður. This guided shore excursion begins right at the harbour and is timed around your cruise ship’s visit. In just five hours, experience the variety that has earned Snæfellsnes the nickname “Iceland in Miniature.” Take in views of the Snæfellsjökull glacier and Lóndrangar sea stacks, explore the dramatic coastal scenery at Arnarstapi, and photograph Kirkjufell mountain and its nearby waterfalls. Along the way, your English-speaking guide shares stories of Icelandic history, folklore and local life. A visit to the Maritime Museum in Hellissandur offers a glimpse into the region’s fishing heritage. We guarantee your return to the harbour in time to rejoin your ship. - Five-hour tour timed for cruise passengers - Pickup directly from Grundarfjörður harbour - Visit highlights including Kirkjufell and the Arnarstapi cliffs - Group size of up to 55 travelers
