One of my favorite spots in Iceland was the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. I love unique coastlines and the ocean in general. Check out this perspective of the cliffs at Arnastapi, taken from the water. I absolutely have no clue how to do anything creative with my drone, and I’m still learning how to fly it. I’m super cautious and won’t fly it if it’s windy or the slightest bit of rain (which unfortunately means I only used it once in Iceland). Any drone tips for me???

Diamond Beach is a must visit place in Southern Iceland! It’s located across the street from the Glacier Lagoon. Once the icebergs break apart into smaller pieces, they make their way to the ocean where they wash up on the shore. It’s beautiful to see a large stretch of black sand beach covered with chunks of ice. Read more about it on the blog (link in profile).

I love the look of these turf houses! Seems so quintessentially Icelandic, though these are not original and likely built for tourists. You’ll spot turf homes here and there on Ring Road, but these are in Arnastapi on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

If you love seals make sure you visit Ytri Tunga on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula to see these cuties. The rocky beach is frequented by harbor and grey seals. It’s right off the main road and there’s a parking lot. We loved stopping here on our Iceland roadtrip. Check out the blog for more Iceland tips. (Link in profile).

Heading to Southern Iceland? One of the best hidden gems that gets overlooked is the Gljufrabui waterfall! It’s a unique experience because the waterfall is inside a cave! The best part? It’s right near Seljalandsfoss, which is no doubt on your list. Gljufrabui is less than a mile, and there’s a path so you don’t even have to move your car! When facing Seljalandsfoss, take the path to left, about 3/4 a mile. You will see the small stream coming out of the cave. If you have waterproof boots, just walk on through! If not, no big deal, there are plenty of large enough rocks to hop between, and once inside there is sandy ground to stand on. Bookmark this post if you’re going to Seljalandsfoss, so you don’t miss this beauty! 🇮🇸

The coastline on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula is incredible! We loved the cliffs at Snaefellsjokull National Park. The park is free to enter and there’s a lot to see there! If you’re staying based in Reykjavik, it’s worth a trip to the peninsula, as there is a lot to see there. For more on Snaefellsnes and Iceland, visit the link in my profile!🇮🇸

It’s not every day you get to see the plume from a Humpback Whale’s blowhole! 🐳

The land features in Iceland are insanely unique and always changing! Doesn’t this remind you of Mars or some other worldly place?
