Shaped by the powerful glaciers of the last ice age around 12,000 years ago, Kirkjufell boasts a distinctive silhouette, making it one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland. Just across the way, the stunning Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall completes your picture-perfect view. With our expert guides, you’ll discover the best vantage points to capture this breathtaking landscape.

Budakirkja
Continuing along the south coast, you’ll arrive in a quaint village home to Búdakirkja, a solitary black church nestled among a field of ancient lava rocks. Originally built in 1703 and reconstructed in 1987, this charming chapel features a historic graveyard, a bell, and a chalice from its founding days. Designated as a listed building, Búdakirkja is under the care of the National Museum of Iceland and the Búdir parish.

Often celebrated as Iceland's most beautiful harbor, the area features unique stone arches and a fascinating marine geyser created by years of erosion. As you stroll along the coastline, your guide will regale you with tales of Bárður, a legendary figure said to be half-man and half-troll, and his misadventures in the region.
