    Iceland is a beautiful country and this park is one of the favorite places we went. It's a bit of a drive from Reyjavik (and you go through a very long tunnel) but worth it for the cool views.

    Amazing place. Be sure to bring your waterproof everything. It will most likely be wet and very windy. Amazing place to see if you can weather the storm. Also don’t forget waterproof gloves!

    Took a nice hike, went along the shoreline and explored the area, it was beautiful! Got hit by a fast moving snow storm that cut the hike short. Headed to the visitor center to get out of the snow. As soon as I'd arrived at the center, the snow stopped! Headedout again to see and photograph more amazing sights!

    Easily accessible with great view. Lots of wind shear so be prepared In colder weather. The ability to take panoramic photos is highly recommended as well as arriving at dusk or dawn.

    Stunning landscapes, cute seals. Loved the contrast of the black pebble beach against the snow.

    Due to snow couldn't enjoy anything. Car got stuck in snow and had to pay 30000 isk to tow truck for pulling the car just 1 meter out of pit. This place is as beautiful as rest of Iceland.

    This was a beautiful and diverse national park! The red sand beach was very pretty and different from the black sand. There were a few tables there which was a great lunch spot. The labyrinth was probably my favorite thing. We almost couldn't find it and then we managed to stumble across it. The fisherman's hut and freshwater pool were also beautiful. There were much less people once you got away from the lifting stones and shipwreck area. There were so many things to see, I wish we spent more than a few hours there.
    When we were there in July there were so many birds on the cliffs, including a few puffins! We enjoyed watching all of the birds.

    Not as impressive as other glaciers in Iceland but the drive from Reykjavik and the landscape along the road are also very impressive.
    What I liked the most was the sea next to the foot of the glacier. You can see the icy peaks of the mountain while you stand by the see and watch the giant waves. That was an overwhelming experience.

    Place of solitude and amazing beauty. Many short hikes (less than an hour) are possible to volcanic craters, waterfalls, coastal cliffs teaming with birds, and the ruins of ancient homesteads. Take a day or two to explore under the shadow of the massive Snæfellsjökull volcano and glacier.

    I love this park! It absolutely has it all: A giant volcano, glacier, waterfalls, lava fields, beaches and beautiful nature. The park is far less touristic than the other places we've been to in Iceland. It was just us and the stunning nature of snaefellsness. Definitely go see the beaches. They are out of this world and give you a sense of what life on an exoplanet would be like. Also visit the lava tube at vatnshellir and try to drive over the volcano. The views from there are just breathtaking.

    So many things to see and do, unfortunately we only planned one day to explore everything there, the visit felt a bit rushed. For better experience, schedule 2 or 3 days in the area.

    I didn't feel like there was a lot to do here, though there is a sand beach to play on. The roads get pretty exciting once you get deeper into the park. And by exciting I mean difficult. It doesn't affect my rating, but I lost my binoculars here, and if someone found them, I hope you are enjoying them!

    Snaefellsjoekull volcano dominates the horizon on this peninsula. The Park has excellent hiking trails though it requires hiking on volcanic rock at times, features a black sand beach and spectacular coastline lava rock features, and is accessed on a highway through picturesque farming and equestrian properties.

    Magical place with interesting day hikes along the coast. Arnarstapi is a great base for exploring the area. Be sure to buy groceries in Reykjavik as the are no stores within a one hour drive.

    Great park. Do be sure what you want to see beforehand (you could spend a day here or just make a few photo stops). Go if you like ocean views.

    Absolutely gorgeous, they truly call it mini Iceland. I would recommend this more highly than doing the golden circle. The basalt columns, rocky shores, presence of both light and black sand beaches, as well as glaciers and volcanic rock mean that everything worth seeing in Iceland, you can find here.

    This national park is becoming a "resort" destination. It appears to be a microcosm of everything else on the island. I would only ever recommend this if you are only staying for a couple of days. It is an incredibly remote region of Iceland to say that the tourists are coming out. There really are better locations to see everything that was available to see here.

    So many great views here! The coastal areas are great, small towns (hellnas, etc) are great. The crater at the western point is a small stair well up to the top and had awesome views. Surreal.

    Very eye-catching nature and is all accessible from the main road. We visited a few beaches, light house, some rock formations, the cave etc and they are truly astonishing. Must see. On one of the beaches there were seals seating on the rocks!

    There's a ton to see here. From volcanic caves to lava fields to lighthouses on cliffs. We had an amazing day exploring this place.

    Despite all the tourism, this place has managed to retain a wild character. The landscapes were amazing, and it's big enough that one can generally find some space to oneself. We drove a loop around it, and one of the best parts was the snowy gravel road connecting back to the road to Borgarnes after driving through the main park area.

    BEAUTIFUL and worth the drive to the peninsula. We did some hikes and found several caves. It was our favorite part of the west coast.
