Itinerary
Our first stop is the quaint town of Borgarnes, where we’ll take a short break to stretch our legs and enjoy the coastal views. Kirkjufell Mountain: Known as the most photographed mountain in Iceland, Kirkjufell’s distinctive shape and surrounding waterfalls make it a must-see landmark. We’ll pause here for a memorable photo opportunity.
Experience the unique black pebble beach of Djúpalónssandur, where you’ll find remnants of a shipwreck and the famous “lifting stones” once used by fishermen to test their strength.
Explore the charming village of Arnarstapi, renowned for its stunning coastal cliffs and abundant birdlife. Here, you’ll have the option to enjoy lunch at one of the local restaurants. Búðir: Visit the iconic black church of Búðir, set against a dramatic landscape of lava fields and golden sands, offering a serene and picturesque setting.
Our final stop is Ytri Tunga Beach, famed for its resident seal colony. It’s one of the most reliable places in Iceland to observe seals in their natural habitat.

Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.
