Discover the Snæfellsnes Peninsula with a local, family-run company based in Grundarfjörður. This guided shore excursion begins right at the harbour and is timed around your cruise ship’s visit.

Along the way, your English-speaking guide shares stories of Icelandic history, folklore and local life. A visit to the Maritime Museum in Hellissandur offers a glimpse into the region’s fishing heritage. We guarantee your return to the harbour in time to rejoin your ship.
