Berserkjahraun Lava Field and Stykkishólmur Tour

A journey through the heart of Iceland's rich sagas and traditions

Explore the wonders of Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula with our Berserkjahraun Lava Field & Stykkishólmur Shore Excursion, a perfect tour for cruise passengers arriving at Grundarfjörður port. This tour provides an in-depth exploration of Iceland’s volcanic landscapes, folklore, and charming coastal towns, all while ensuring you return to your ship on time.

Starting at Grundarfjörður port, you’ll board our comfortable tour minibus for a journey to the extraordinary Berserkjahraun lava field. Formed over 3000 years ago, this lava field is steeped in the stories of the Icelandic sagas. As we drive through this ancient landscape, you’ll learn about the Berserkers and the ancient stone-piled road that cuts through the lava.

We make several stops throughout the lava field, giving you plenty of time to take photos of the striking red craters, moss-covered rocks, and sweeping views. As part of your authentic Icelandic experience, we offer a tasting of fermented shark, one of Iceland’s most iconic traditional foods.

After visiting the lava field, we continue to the picturesque town of Stykkishólmur, situated on the shores of Breiðafjörður Bay. You’ll have free time to explore this charming town, with options to hike up to the red lighthouse on Súgandisey or simply wander through the colorful streets, stopping at local shops and cafés.

On the return journey, we stop at the Kolgrafarfjörður viewpoint, offering spectacular views over the surrounding landscape of lava fields and fjords. Afterward, we’ll return you to the Grundarfjörður port with plenty of time to board your cruise ship.

The Berserkjahraun Lava Field & Stykkishólmur Shore Excursion is an ideal choice for cruise passengers looking to experience Iceland’s rugged beauty, history, and culture in a single, memorable day.
