Experience the remote beauty of Iceland’s Westfjords on this 3-day guided Westfjords tour from Reykjavík, combining dramatic landscapes, famous natural attractions, wildlife, Viking history and traditional fishing villages in one unforgettable journey.

The Westfjords are one of Iceland’s most spectacular and least-travelled regions. Here, steep mountains rise directly from deep fjords, winding coastal roads lead to isolated communities, and some of the country’s most impressive waterfalls, beaches and wildlife areas remain far from the busiest tourist routes. This small-group adventure is ideal for travellers who want to discover a wilder and more remote side of Iceland while travelling with an experienced local guide.

Your 3-day journey begins with pick-up in Reykjavík before travelling towards the Westfjords. Along the way, visit Eiríksstaðir, where you can discover Iceland’s Viking heritage inside a reconstructed Viking longhouse, before continuing through the beautiful landscapes of Vatnsfjörður Nature Reserve. There is also an opportunity to relax in the geothermal waters of Krosslaug, surrounded by the peaceful scenery of the Westfjords.

The second day brings some of the region’s most famous highlights. Explore Látrabjarg, the dramatic sea cliffs known for their incredible birdlife, walk along the unusual red and golden sands of Rauðasandur, and experience Dynjandi, one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland. The journey continues through spectacular fjord scenery towards Ísafjörður, the largest town in the Westfjords.

On the final day, travel into the northern Westfjords and visit Bolungarvík and Bolafjall Mountain, where a spectacular viewing platform offers panoramic views across the surrounding fjords, mountains and coastline. Discover the region’s fishing heritage at Ósvör before travelling through the scenic Seven Fjords, with opportunities to look for seals, whales and other wildlife along the way.

The Westfjords are also one of Iceland’s best regions for wildlife. Depending on the season and conditions, you may encounter seabirds, seals, whales and even the elusive Arctic fox — Iceland’s only native land mammal. A visit to the Arctic Fox Centre provides an opportunity to learn more about this remarkable animal and its life in the Icelandic wilderness.

With two nights of accommodation, breakfast, transportation from Reykjavík and an English-speaking professional guide included, this 3-day Westfjords tour makes it possible to experience an extraordinary amount of this remote region without having to plan the driving, accommodation and itinerary yourself.

If you are looking for a multi-day tour from Reykjavík that goes beyond Iceland’s most visited attractions, the Westfjords offer something truly different: vast landscapes, remote communities, remarkable wildlife and a feeling of wilderness that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Staying inside Þórsmörk gives you direct access to the hiking trails each morning. Moreover, you can experience the peaceful Highland surroundings after a full day on the trail.

The tour includes three breakfasts, four lunches and three dinners. You will also enjoy a celebratory barbecue with the group during your stay.

Explore Iceland with an Experienced Hiking Guide
