Small-Group 3-Day Guided Westfjords Tour from Reykjavik in Summer

Your second day of this Westfjords tour from Reykjavik begins with a hearty breakfast at your accommodation. Afterward, your guide will pick you up for another exciting day of sightseeing and coastal exploration.

The day starts at the Gardar BA 64 Shipwreck, the oldest steel ship in Iceland. Although you can’t go inside, it’s one of the most photographed spots in the region and a must-see for anyone interested in Iceland’s fishing heritage.

Next, the adventure continues toward the Latrabjarg Cliffs. Located at Iceland’s westernmost point, these dramatic cliffs offer unbeatable ocean views. During summer, you’ll find countless puffins resting on the cliffs, making it a highlight for nature and photography lovers alike.

Your journey then takes you to the peaceful Raudisandur Beach for a quick stop. This secluded beach is famous for its reddish-golden sand. 

From there, your group travels north, stopping along the way to admire smaller sights like the pretty Fossfjordur Waterfall before reaching one of Iceland’s most stunning natural wonders, Dynjandi Waterfall.

Known as “The Jewel of the Westfjords,” Dynjandi is both powerful and graceful, cascading down a series of terraces in a veil of mist. Its remote location makes it even more special, and many travelers consider it a highlight of their Iceland adventure.

The day continues with a scenic drive toward Isafjordur, the largest town in the Westfjords. On the way, you’ll stop at the Onundarfjordur Pier, a peaceful spot where you can take photos of calm fjord waters framed by dramatic mountain peaks.

You’ll spend the night in Isafjordur, a charming town known for its culture, cozy restaurants, and relaxed pace of life. Enjoy a delicious dinner at one of the local eateries before heading back to your accommodation for a well-earned rest.

After breakfast, check out of your accommodation in Isafjordur and meet your guide for the last day of your Westfjords tour. The morning begins with a scenic drive through a 3-mile (5-kilometer) tunnel leading to the fishing town of Bolungarvik.

From there, continue up the mountain road to Bolafjall, a 2,093-foot (638-meter) peak with a stunning viewing platform that overlooks the rugged coastline of the Westfjords.

Next, explore the Osvor Fishing Village, a small cluster of turf-roofed huts that reflects Iceland’s traditional coastal life. Nearby, the Osholaviti Lighthouse stands proudly by the sea, still guiding sailors through these northern waters.

From here, you will follow the winding coastal road aptly known as the Seven Fjords Road. Keep an eye out for the Arctic fox, Iceland’s only native land mammal, which roams freely near the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. 

No worries if you miss seeing one along the way. You’ll visit the Arctic Fox Center to learn about these fascinating animals and the efforts to protect them.

Continuing on, watch for seal colonies, salmon farms, and traditional turf-roofed huts along the way. Your guide will choose the best spots to stop for photos so you can capture the beauty of the Westfjords up close.

A highlight of the day is Hvitanes, one of the most accessible places in Iceland to see seals in their natural habitat. Take your time observing these curious animals as they rest on the rocks or swim close to shore. 

At the end of the Seven Fjords Road, you will stop at Gervidalsa Canyon in the Reykjanes Peninsula. Here, you’ll find a peaceful gorge with a small waterfall hidden just off the road. 

On the return journey to Reykjavik, you’ll make a final stop at the Grabrok Volcanic Craters. Climb the short staircase to the viewing platforms for sweeping views of lava fields and mountains. 

By evening, you’ll arrive back in Reykjavik, where your guide will drop you off at your accommodation, officially ending your 3-day Westfjords tour.
