Description

Travel from the port of Brjánslækur in the Westfjords to Stykkishólmur on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula with the Baldur ferry. This scenic and convenient service allows passengers to bring their cars, making it easy to explore Iceland’s stunning landscapes at your own pace. During the summer, you can also stop at Flatey Island, a peaceful and historic gem, for a few hours before continuing your journey.

The trip begins in Brjánslækur, often called the gateway to the Westfjords, a region famed for its untouched nature and rugged landscapes. The Baldur ferry accommodates both passengers and vehicles, providing free Wi-Fi, a restaurant (Bára), and family-friendly amenities like a Children’s Corner. Designated areas for pets ensure comfort for all travelers.

The ferry crosses Breiðafjörður Bay in approximately 2.5 hours, saving an hour compared to driving. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of fjords, volcanic peaks on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and countless small islands, including Flatey. If stopping at Flatey, take time to stretch your legs, breathe in the fresh sea air, and visit its charming cafe. Simply inform the crew upon boarding.

Keep an eye out for wildlife as you sail—seals and seabirds, including white-tailed eagles, are often spotted in the bay.

Once you arrive in Stykkishólmur, the largest town on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, explore its rich folklore and culture before venturing out to iconic landmarks such as Snæfellsjökull Glacier and Kirkjufell Mountain.
