Product Info

Hraunfoss Hraunfoss. This is a ring-shaped waterfall, with branches splashing down from the edge of the volcanic lava, which is very magnificent. Unlike most waterfalls in Iceland, its water source does not come from glacial meltwater, but from a piece of volcanic rock, forming a gurgling stream along the volcanic rock, flowing nearly a kilometer before your eyes.
There is a sad legend behind the name of Children's Falls. It is said that a century ago, there was a natural stone bridge above the waterfall. Two children from a nearby farm fell into the stream and drowned while crossing the bridge. The grief-stricken mother destroyed the stone bridge, leaving only the turbulent water of Children's Falls.
The Djurdartuguhvi Hot Spring is the fastest-flowing hot spring in Europe, with a water temperature of about 97 degrees Celsius. All the hot water used by towns within a radius of 65 kilometers comes from it. The vegetation around the hot spring is lush and green. The rare plant "deer fern" (also known as spike fern) grows here, which is nowhere else in Iceland.
The Viðgelmir Lava Cave Guide will take you deep underground to explore the colorful Viðgelmir Lava Cave. The cave was formed by a volcanic eruption. It is about 1,600 meters long and is one of the largest lava caves in Iceland. Thousands of years of geological movement have left wonderful colors and strange lava structures inside the deep cave.
Seal Rest Point
The beach next to the Ytri-Tunga Farm is a famous seal gathering place. If you are an animal lover, the fat seals are very cute. If it is a sunny day, they look especially cute basking in the sun on the beach.
Arnarstapi
Arnarstapi is a beautiful seaside town. Beautiful rocks dot the coastline, covered with yellow and green moss. It is very pleasant to take a walk along the beach and enjoy the fresh sea breeze.
Djupalonssandur Beach
Snæfellsnes Peninsula also has a black sand beach, dotted with the sound of crashing waves and chirping seabirds. Feel the wonder of Iceland's geological formations. At the summit, you will have a panoramic view of the magnificent Snæfellsjokull glacier, which is also the entrance to the center of the earth in the novels of French writer Jules Verne.
Kirkjufell The last stop of the day is the famous Kirkjufell on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, also known as the Straw Hat Mountain. This is one of the most popular photography spots in Iceland, so don't forget to take photos here.
