If stunning fjords, towering mountains, and relaxing hot springs sounds like a dream then you will want to visit the Westfjords.
Tucked away in the northwest corner of Iceland, this remote area of the country is often overlooked because it’s quite out of the way of the main routes.
Not to mention it’s one of the less traveled areas of Iceland meaning you might find yourself alone at any given location!
Without the map we’d have missed things…especially the hidden gems! – Mandy
The Westfjords is fantastic on it’s own or would be the perfect addition to any Ring Road trip.
Recommended duration: 3-5 days
Recommended seasons: May-October
Ready to have a stress free Iceland trip but confused about how much to fit in one day?
Sick and tired of researching how much time to plan for each stop or how long it takes to get from place to place?
Want an itinerary you’re excited about…but are overwhelmed by how to put it all together?
Hi 🙋🏼♀️ I created this itinerary just for you!
Forget about wondering where you should stay each night or how long to plan for the stop at that waterfall.
This itinerary has been crafted to solve your biggest question: how much can be done in one day.
Save yourself hours of research and worrying if you’re over-packing your days or driving past a hidden gem – I’ve already done that work for you!
I’ve planned enough custom itineraries for my clients to know how to perfectly time each day. BUT my custom planning service is consistently booked out and available via waiting list only. So if you need an itinerary NOW, this is your answer!
“When you are juggling a family and an unknown country, having an itinerary and suggested route/sequence of activities is a lifesaver!” – Lauren
