In Reykholt are two of the country’s more spectacular waterfalls, Barnafoss (Children’s Waterfall) and Hraunfossar (Lava Waterfalls).

The area was the first community in Europe to receive such certification and the fourth to receive it worldwide. Snæfellsnes has been named Iceland in Miniature, because many national sights can be found in the area, including the Snæfellsjökull volcano, regarded as one of the symbols of Iceland. With its height of 1446 m, it is the highest mountain on the peninsula and has a glacier at its peak. The mountain is also known as the setting of the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth by the French author Jules Verne.
This tour is run around the peninsula. On the south are Búðir, Arnarstapi and Hellnar, interesting spiritual village under the Snæfellsjökull glacier and Dritvík. At the north side are some old and charming villages and fishing towns Ólafsvík Grundarfjörður and Stykkishólmur.
Jökulsárlón - Glacier lagoon
Duration 12 - 13 hrs. Price 1-4 pax. 119.300, 5-8 pax. 155.090
Jökulsárlón (literally "glacial river lagoon") is a large glacial lagoon in southeast Iceland, on the borders of Vatnajökull National Park. Situated at the head of Breiðamerkurjökull, it evolved into a lagoon after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the Icelandic glaciers. The lagoon now stands 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) away from the ocean's edge and covers an area of about 18 km2 (6.9 sq mi).
The lagoon can be seen along Route 1 between Höfn and Skaftafell. It presents a picturesque parade termed as “A ghostly procession of luminous blue ice-bergs through the 17 km2 (6.6 sq mi) (18 km2 (6.9 sq mi) as reported in other sources) Jokulsarlon Lagoon”.
