What you’ll do

Snæfellsnes is one of the most magical places in Iceland in my opinion. The landscape changes so quickly in such a small distance. It just really is a miniature version of the entire Iceland. So if you don't have much time, but want to see many different things. This is where you need to go!

In this itinerary I'll show you where to go on this peninsula. In theory you could drive around the peninsula in a day, but there is so much to see! So I would advice to stay at least 2-4 days and really soak up all the beauty around you.

Day Total

296.9 km (184.5 mi)

4 hr 8 min

Day one is a relaxed one. Maybe you just drove to Snæfellsnes from Reykjavík, maybe you just arrived to Iceland. So let's take it easy this first day. And if you get to stay at Midhraun, make sure you soak in their hot tub!

I have added several accommodations for you to choose from.
