The days are getting longer here in Iceland and we are most excited for the upcoming season!

We can't wait to take you on our glacier hikes on Snæfellsjökull Glacier or to show you the geology gems that the Snæfellsnes peninsula has to offer.

On the picture you can see Lóndrangar, the seastacks that that sit on the shore just beneath the glacier. A must-see when traveling around the peninsula!

We love, even in our free time to try out new hiking routes and revisit old ones. Winter time can be especially rewarding as there is only a small window of light and the icy conditions, although a little difficult, are stunningly beautiful. here are a few photos from todays hike and this hike is available on our website as the tour SECRETS UNDER THE LAVA - GEOLOGY AND WILDLIFE HIKE

Join us this hike in the future in Snæfellsnes or another one of our fantastic mountain / glacier hikes on and around Snæfellsjökull Glacier.
