Private Tour From Grundarfjörður Port

Mountain Kirkjufell or the church mountain is perhaps the most photographed mountain in Iceland.This 463 m mass looms over the nearby fishing village of Grunðarfjörður. Its distinct arrowhead shape has inspired both professional and amateur photographers for years. A classic snap is Kirkjufell with the northern lights shimmering above. It recently came to prominence internationally by featuring as the Arrowhead mountain in one of the later seasons of the hit TV show “Game of Thrones”.The mountain was part of the scenes north of the wall’ when Jon Snow, The Hound, and Jorah Mormont seek to capture an undead wight.

The iconic vista of Kirkjufell is taken from this location and features the falls in the foreground which really sells the scale of the looming mountain in the background. The waterfall is a three pronged waterfall fed by glacial meltwaters from the nearby  Snæfellsjökull glacier. A small path takes you around the area for a great view of the falls and Mt Kirkjufell from all angles.

Djúpalónssandur is a black sand beach and one of the most famous in Iceland.The beach is encircled by cliffs and rock formations, and visitors can walk along these cliffs to view the beach from all angles. Two of the stranger rock formations here were thought to be frozen trolls. A challenge can be found here for the more competitive of visitors. Long held as a test of strength, 4 lifting stones of ascending size and weight lie on the breach. Once used to test the strength of fishermen, it´s held that the achievement of lifting the 54kg stone was the minimum requirement to find employment on fishing boats in the area.

Lóndrangur are two enormous basalt rock formations reaching 75m and 61m respectively. These pinnacles are all that remains of an ancient crater which has long since been eroded by the sea. They serve as both a stunning view from all angles as well as home to various nesting bird species

This picturesque location is shadowed by mountains to the north and wave-battered cliffs to its south.Once a very important fishing and trade hub for the region, the area’s economy now is now reliant upon tourism and guest services, but once definitely gets a sense of its illustrious past from the harbour.It is a real pleasure to walk along the cliff edge and spot the nesting seabirds below. A famous photo stop is the Arnarstapi bridge, Eystrigjá.

Budir black church is one of the most beautiful in Iceland. But what makes this place special is the stunning landscape on which it rests. A church was first built here at over 300 years ago, though the structure you see today dates from 1848. This church is a popular subject for photographers and we take a short photo stop her for that reason.
