Travel along the Snæfellsnes Peninsula to Snæfellsjökull National Park, known as the Jewel of West Iceland and crowned by the ice-capped Snæfellsjökull volcano. Long linked to Icelandic folklore and literary imagination, this dramatic peninsula brings glaciers, lava fields, sea cliffs and black-sand shores into close view. En route, admire Búðir, where dark lava fields meet pale sands and coastal hills. Continue to Arnarstapi for a walk along basalt sea cliffs shaped by the Atlantic, then take in views across the wild coastline. This evening, consider an Optional Experience in Borgarnes, meeting Icelandic horses and learning what makes this pure breed so treasured locally. Alternatively, enjoy dinner at The Settlement Center restaurant, set in one of the town’s oldest houses and home to an exhibition on Iceland’s Settlement Era.
