Cave Vatnshellir

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.

Londrangar Basalt Cliffs

Reviewed By Allkuans - Singapore, Singapore

Most people would recommend this hike in one direction or the other. The most useful advice I found was parking at Malarrif and then do a return hike, ie, Malarrif-Londragar-Malarrif. However, I modified this slightly and this is my suggestion (if you are driving from Arnapstapi): 1. Park at Londrangar, walk to the viewing platform to see the basalt cliffs. 2. Drive a short distance further on to Malarrif, visit the excellent Tourist Information Centre. The toilet is open 24 hours. 3. Walk towards Londrangar as far as you wish to view the basalt cliffs, depending on your time availability. 4. Do a walk along the Malarrif beach as well. We

Skardsvik Beach

Reviewed By 873KimT873 - Cologne, Germany

I happened upon Skarðsvík Beach during my drive of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula while I was on my way to Svörtuloft Lighthouse. It really looks stunning to see a golden beach in a country full of black sand beaches, especially against the lava rocks background and the blue sea. It looked almost tropical. It was very peaceful to walk along the shoreline and watch the crashing waves. Just be careful if you are visiting at high tide and/or it is very windy.

Bjarnarfoss

Reviewed By 538JoanneH - London, United Kingdom

We just spotted this from the road (like everyone else) so hopped out for a closer look. Two of us climbed the steep little path past the bridge viewpoint to get nearer the top - recommended if you have the time and agility and a waterproof coat! Otherwise you can see the falls well from the bottom. A good little stop on a Snaefellsnes road trip.

Svortuloft Lighthouse

Reviewed By 873KimT873 - Cologne, Germany

I wanted to visit Svörtuloft, also called Skálasnagaviti during my drive of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The drive there was somewhat rough and bumpy and I was glad I had a car with higher ground clearance, although there were several smaller cars that also braved the access road. The lighthouse is painted a bright orange and looks great against the lava field and the ocean background. I was lucky with the weather and saw it in beautiful sunshine. There are also a table and benches for a picknick. Well worth the detour if you have a sturdy car and/or don't mind the bumpy road.
