Snaefellsnes Peninsula Tour from Reykjavik

Snaefellsnes Peninsula Tour from Reykjavik

This peninsula showcases a diverse array of Icelandic landscapes, earning it the moniker "Iceland in miniature." Despite its remote location, away from the bustling Ring Road, Snæfellsnes remains sparsely inhabited, often overlooked by travelers who prefer more beaten paths. Culturally, Snæfellsnes holds significance as well. Its dramatic scenery served as the backdrop for Jules Verne's iconic novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and subsequent film adaptations. It also stood in for the northern landscapes in "Game of Thrones." Mt. Kirkjufell, beloved by Icelanders, famously depicted the Arrowhead mountain. Exploring Snæfellsnes reveals not only Mt. Kirkjufell but also the nearby Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall, the awe-inspiring Arnarstapi Bird Cliffs with their stone bridge and arch, the striking Djúpalónssandur black beach, and much more. Visitors may also encounter the famed black church of Búðir and perhaps catch a glimpse of seals at Ytri-Tunga beach.

This was the best. The GPS automatically called up interesting notes as we drove along. While at first, I had somehow had erased everything I had downloaded, once I got back on WiFi and redownloaded everything it was great. The narrations were informative, witty, and to the point. I wish these existed in other parts of the world. It was *sooo* cool. Best purchase ever.

This app is absolutely great. I had a few problems with my Android phone. Please don't despair and contact the app's customer service. They respond quickly and help you. I am very happy that this guide is accompanying us on our trip to Iceland. I would definitely recommend it!!!
