All tourists have gathered. We will head north along Highway 1, then west to the Snæfellsnes peninsula . The adventure officially begins!

Snæfellsnes is a volcanic region, and the Snæfellsjökull glacier sits atop a volcano. We will first stop at the Berserkjahraun lava field, a lava field formed by a volcanic eruption approximately 4,000 years ago. Here you'll find moss-covered rocks, as well as the eruption-formed craters Rauðkúla and Grákúla. We will view this lava field from the Vatnaleid viewpoint.

Kirkjufell is one of Iceland's most famous filming locations. It's only 463 meters high, but its distinctive arrowhead shape makes it appear particularly majestic. Kirkjufell and its adjacent Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall frequently appear in photos, with the mountain's reflection in the lake as a backdrop. It was also one of the locations outside the North Wall in Game of Thrones.

Snæfellsjökull National Park is a protected area where glaciers and volcanoes form its core. Legend has it that it is the entrance to the Earth's core in Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

Another stop in the national park is Djúpalónssandur black sand beach. The black sand here originated from an ancient volcanic eruption; seawater eroded the lava, forming the black sand we see today. You can also see some interesting lava rocks here.

Next, we will travel to the southern part of the Snæfellsnes peninsula to visit the Lóndrangar columns.

Continue to Arnarstapi village, a small fishing village surrounded by beautiful mountains and coastline. The cliffs are home to a large number of birds, making it a paradise for photographers.

Búðir's Black Church is Iceland's most famous black church, built in 1848 and restored several times. Its black exterior contrasts sharply with the surrounding desolate landscape, making it a popular spot for photography.

Finally, we will head to Ytri Tunga beach. This golden sand is one of the best places in Iceland to observe seals, where you will have the opportunity to see seals resting on the shore.

After the tour, we will begin our return journey to Reykjavik, and finally drop you off at the meeting point.
