4 Days In The Westfjords

Private Journey into Iceland’s Wildest Region

The Westfjords are not something you “add on.”
They are Iceland without shortcuts — long fjords, empty roads, steep cliffs, and villages that still move at their own pace.

This is a private 4-day journey into one of the least visited regions of the country, guided by locals who know the roads, the weather, and when it’s time to slow down.

Price estimate:
For 2 people, this tour is approximately 1,200,000 ISK, depending on accommodation availability and hotel choices.

Travel Deep into the Westfjords

From Reykjavík, we head north and west, leaving traffic and crowds behind. Roads narrow, distances grow, and the landscape opens up.

This is not fast travel. It’s deliberate.

Your Moonwalker guide handles the logistics, route planning, and timing so you can focus on the experience. Expect long scenic drives broken up by short walks, viewpoints, quiet villages, and places most travelers never reach.

Day 1 – Into the Fjords & Icelandic Folklore

We leave Reykjavík and travel north, stopping at Grábrók volcanic crater for wide views over the countryside.

As we enter the Westfjords, we stop in Hólmavík to visit the Museum of Sorcery & Witchcraft, a small but memorable look into the region’s folklore and history.

The day ends in Heydalur, a remote farm stay tucked into a quiet valley — a place to slow down, soak, and settle into the rhythm of the fjords.

Day 2 – Fjord Roads, Arctic Fox & Coastal Life

We continue deeper into the northern fjords, stopping at Littlibær, a turf house café when open.

In Súðavík, we visit the Arctic Fox Centre, dedicated to Iceland’s only native land mammal.

Lunch is in Ísafjörður, followed by a drive up Bolafjall for wide views over the surrounding fjords and out toward the Arctic Ocean (conditions permitting).

Later, we visit the Ósvör Maritime Museum in Bolungarvík before returning to Ísafjörður for the night.

Day 3 – Dynjandi & the Southern Fjords

We head south through villages like Flateyri, stopping along the way as light and weather allow.

The highlight is Dynjandi, the largest waterfall in the Westfjords. A short uphill walk brings you closer to the cascading tiers — no rush, plenty of time.

We continue to Selárdalur, home to the unique sculptures of Samúel Jónsson, before settling in Patreksfjörður for the night.

Day 4 – Cliffs, Red Sand & Return

We start the day at Látrabjarg, Europe’s westernmost point. Massive bird cliffs, wide views, and strong winds — safety always comes first.

From there, we visit Rauðisandur, a wide red-sand beach that feels open, quiet, and completely different from the rest of Iceland.

In the afternoon, we begin the return journey to Reykjavík, arriving in the evening.
