Our ATV tours have started. 🏔️
Driving through lava fields, mountain tracks, and enjoying the raw nature around Snæfellsjökull. So much fun already.

More routes will open as the snow continues to melt, but the scenery is already incredible. 🌋

Midnight at Svörtuloft.
The cliffs standing silent, waves crashing below, and an arctic fox casually passing by like it owns the place. 🦊🌊

Some places in Iceland feel almost unreal at night.

In the fishing town of Grundarfjörður, Valeria specialty coffee, art & souvenirs is more than just a café ☕️

This tiny specialty coffee roastery is run by an Icelandic-Colombian family who import beans directly from small farms in Colombia and roast them right here in Grundarfjörður. The mix of Icelandic coastal atmosphere and Colombian coffee culture makes the place feel truly unique.

A must stop for coffee lovers exploring Snæfellsnes 🌍

Today we had two ATV tours into the wild landscapes of Snæfellsjökull National Park 🏔️

The snow is still melting higher up on the glacier roads, so for now we head into the mountains before exploring fun tracks through the lowlands and lava fields. Even without reaching the high tracks close to the glacier itself, the untouched nature and wide open views make every tour different and fun! 🤩

Spring in Iceland means changing conditions almost every day ❄️☀️

A short walk through Ólafsvík 🤍

From the beautiful waterfall and creek flowing through town, to the unique church rising below the mountains and the colorful Rainbow Street.
But beyond the views, Ólafsvík is a fishing town at heart. The harbor and the ocean continue to shape daily life here, just as they have for generations 🎣

A small town with deep roots beneath the mountains of Snæfellsnes.

Stone walls, old traditions, and a piece of Ólafsvík’s history brought back to life. 🐑

The old rétt (sheep roundup pen) in Ólafsvík was once an important gathering place each autumn, when sheep were brought down from the mountains and sorted before winter. After falling out of use around the 1960s, the stone structure slowly faded with time.

In recent years, locals worked together to restore it and preserve this part of the town’s history for future generations. Built from local stone in a square layout, Ólafsvíkurrétt stands out from the more common circular sheep pens found around Iceland.

A reminder of how closely Icelandic communities have always been connected to the land around them. 🇮🇸

The Snæfellsnes coastline has a way of changing character with the sea and weather.

Around Arnarstapi and Svalþúfa it can be like this calm and almost still with soft swells moving through the basalt cliffs. Other days the wind picks up and waves start crashing, the ocean taking back all the space.

That contrast is what makes this stretch so special

The bird cliffs are slowly coming back to life as seabirds return for the nesting season even if you do not see many just yet. While they are settling in and through summer, drones are not allowed around the cliffs. A small disturbance for us can be a big one for them.

Quiet moments like this do not last long out here 🌊

At the edge of the lava fields where land meets the open Atlantic

Malarrif Visitor Centre is a quiet place to get your bearings in Snæfellsjökull National Park. Here you’ll find rangers, local knowledge, and a closer look at the nature that shapes this coastline from volcanic history to birdlife and shifting sands

A good place to slow down for a moment before heading back out

Snæfellsjökull National Park Visitor Centre in Hellissandur 📌

A good place to start if you want to understand what you’re seeing out here. You can meet park rangers, get up to date information, and spend some time with the exhibitions covering the area’s history, wildlife and geology. 📖🌍

Inside you’ll also find .kaffihus and the photography exhibition “The Glacier Project” by Merel Klomp and Elmar Janse

Worth a stop before heading further into the park 😍
