Snæfellsnes Peninsula - Kayaking - The Grillmarket
The Snæfellsnes Peninsula in western Iceland is renowned for its striking landscapes, with Snæfellsjökull National Park at its western tip, dominated by the glacier-capped Snæfellsjökull Volcano. The peninsula offers a unique day of sightseeing, featuring charming farms on its southern side and small fishing villages along the breathtaking coastline to the north. Highlights include Arnarstapi, Bjarnarfoss waterfall, Búðakirkja church, Berserkjahraun lava fields, the Eldborg volcanic crater, and Hellnar. Kirkjufell, one of Iceland’s most photographed mountains, stands nearby, offering kayaking in the morning, while scenic drives provide views of Snæfellsjökull Glacier. After a day exploring fishing villages and farms, enjoy dinner at Reykjavík’s Grillmarket, a beloved local restaurant. The Grillmarket emphasizes Icelandic materials in its design and cuisine, sourcing most of its ingredients directly from local farmers. Their dishes blend Icelandic tradition with modern techniques, using fire, smoke, wood, and coal to enhance the natural flavors of the region.
