A unique whale watching experience in the widest fjord in Iceland with a chance of seeing many different species of whale. Nowhere else in Iceland is there a better chance to see toothed-whales such as orcas, sperm whales and pilot whales than along this beautiful coastline.

As many other things in Iceland, this place is very special and very beautiful. This beautiful place is one of my favourite places in the whole country. Spectacular trails, make sure to allocate good chunk of time to explore the shoreline. Dramatic coastline, waves pounding on rocks and cliff faces, not too many tourists. It's such a beautiful and magical place. Great place for traveling and photography purpose. Stunning beauty. Mother nature at her best.

Definitely worth a visit. We have visited here before on a sunny day when the water was a gorgeous blue colour. Today was a bit cloudy so water not as blue. None the less definitely worth a visit. Well signposted. Easy to get to plenty of parking. Now there is a cafe not too far away so you can have a chance to warm up on a cold day .
6. Laki Tours
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 513 reviews
Laki Tours takes you on an ocean adventure in four different trips. Puffins galore can be spotted from the protected Melrakkaey island where thousands of other birds also nest. Sea-angling is the perfect family outing and gets even more exciting when you get to keep your catch. From Olafsvik, the Whale tour gives excellent whale watching in deep waters at the foot of the majestic Snaefellsjokull Glacier. Winter brings the orcas, dolphins and white-tailed eagles. We take you to them on what is by now, our most popular tour. "We're living it!"

Reviewed By Serena684 - Peschiera Borromeo, Italy
Lóndrangar are two huge pillars close to the sea and looking as they are emerging from water, located in the southern part of Snæfellsnes Peninsula, in Western Iceland. The guide from the close tourist centre who accompanied us to the site, told us of the countless legends gravitating around these two stacks, along with the true stories of the fishermen dwelling the bay in the old times, still witnessed by the ruins of their simple rock-houses, and of the foxes which settled their den at the feet of the rocks some years ago. A fascinating tour for a fascinating location, absolutely suggested to everyone.
8. Cave Vatnshellir
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 443 reviews
Follow the path of the lava flow, about 200 meters into the cave and 35 meters below the surface to see amazing colors and lava formations. The 8000 years old cave is located in Snaefellsjokull National Park, about 10 minute drive from Hellnar.

We went there spontaneously and it was just amazing. Walking through the caves with torches and being in total darkness for a short moment (just listening to the sound of the cave) was a great experience. Our guide was funny and very friendly and we would definitely recommend the visit.
9. Kirkjufell Mountain
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 634 reviews
The mountain is near Grundarfjordur, a teensy-weensy town in west Iceland. With a summit 1,500 feet above sea level, Mount Kirkjufell the biggest landmark in the village of about 900 residents. Kirkjufell stands on snaefellsnes peninsula of its own, a stunning backdrop for the multicolored Icelandic sky.

Worth the long drive to see this iconic mountain from all sides! Grundafjordur to east is nearest place for food and petrol. There is also a fabulous waterfall opposite.
