    The next day, you’ll continue your exploration of the fascinating Snaefellsnes Peninsula, spending two nights at Hotel Egilsen, an incredibly charming guesthouse with first class hospitality in the small fishing village of Stykkishólmur on the northern coast of the peninsula. With only ten guest rooms the hotel is small and intimate, with a simple yet stylish design, excellent food and a very warm welcome.

    With your private guide you'll wonder at the basalt cliffs, canyons and holes on Arnarstapi beach before taking in the wonderful scenery at Djúpalónssandur and Dritvík black sand beaches, where shipwrecks are still scattered along the coast. Pay a visit to picturesque fishing villages and admire the iconic Kirkjufell mountain, then head out onto the water in search of whales. With a professional guide keep your eyes peeled for whales as they breach just meters from your boat. This area is one of the best locations to spot sperm whales and orcas in Iceland, as well as white-beaked dolphins and harbor porpoises. The following day, hop on the ferry to charming Flatey Island, one of Iceland's western islands in Breidafjördur Bay. A very characterful Icelandic village, Flatey is home to just a handful of inhabitants, but an abundance of birdlife, making for a great location to spot Arctic terns. A wonder for hiking and soaking up the fascinating birdlife and culture as you wander through the village and enjoy the scenery before returning to the mainland and devour the homely delicious cuisine back at Hotel Egilsen.
