We are so excited for this Summer season! We have plenty of exciting departures ready for our guests and this year we will be running a variety of half-day tours, which make the perfect activities for those who prefer a shorter hike.
The half-day hikes will be our classic mountain base hike, a perfect taste of Snæfellsjökull and some incredible views. For the Geology lovers we have the Secrets Under the Lava hike, where our team takes you on an exciting coastal hike to find hidden geological gems. And later in the Summer, we will be offering an ice-walk, perfect to see the beauty of the glacial ice whilst playing on the frozen landscape.
Join us and experience Snæfellsnes the sustainable way!

Today is the Icelandic first day of Summer, also know as Sumardagurinn fyrsti. This day, celebrated every year on the first Thursday after the 18th of April, traditionally marks the start of the Summer season. It dates from the 9th century, when Iceland used the old Norse calendar that had only two seasons: Winter, and Summer. The first day of Summer was celebrated after the long winter to welcome the longer and warmer days ahead.
Nowadays, it's a national holiday, celebrated with parades and other activities and children usually receive a summer gift.
We are very excited for the upcoming season and we look forward to plety of hikes and adventures on Snæfellsjökull glacier and other corners of Iceland!
