Embark on a picturesque journey through Iceland's breathtaking Westfjords with this convenient 3.25-hour bus transfer from Brjanslaekur ferry port to Isafjordur. Travelers arriving via the Baldur ferry from Stykkisholmur will enjoy this affordable bus ride traversing the best of the Westfjords.
The journey begins at the Brjanslaekur ferry port, the gateway to the Westfjords, where passengers disembark from the Baldur ferry. The ferry departs from the town of Stykkisholmur in the Snaefellsnes peninsula and arrives at Brjanslaekur after two to three hours of sailing.
Brjanslaekur is a serene starting point for your Westfjords adventure. The port is nestled amidst dramatic fjords and vast stretches of untamed nature.
Your bus transfer to Isafjordur, the capital town of the Westfjords, awaits here. The bus is comfortable, allowing you and the rest of the passengers to relax while enjoying the incredible views through the large windows.
Before reaching Isafjordur, there will be a total of three stops. Each location can be your drop-off point or a quick stop for sightseeing and taking photos.
The first stop is Flokalundur, a charming and historic location named after Hrafna-Flóki, the Viking who gave Iceland its name. Legend has it that this Norseman climbed atop a mountain and saw nothing but snow and ice as far as his eyes could see, prompting him to call the place land of ice or Iceland.
Here, you can be dropped off or just stretch your legs and soak in the natural surroundings.
The journey continues to the iconic Dynjandi waterfall, often referred to as the "Jewel of the Westfjords." This breathtaking cascade is a series of seven waterfalls, with the main fall towering 330 feet (100 meters) in height.
Next, the bus makes a stop at the charming village of Thingeyri, one of Iceland's oldest settlements. Surrounded by mountains and fjords, this quaint village offers a glimpse into the traditional Icelandic way of life.
With its friendly locals, historic landmarks, and stunning views of Dyrafjordur fjord, Thingeyri is a delightful stop on the way to Isafjordur.
The last stop of this bus transfer from Brjanslaekur is Isafjordur, the largest town in the Westfjords and a hub of culture and activity. The town boasts a vibrant music scene, local art, and historic architecture.
Whether continuing your journey or staying overnight, the town offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The town is the perfect base for further exploration of the region.
