Westfjord Ring Road: Snaefellsnes: Borgarfjordur

Your first day of this exciting tour will begin with a pick up from your Reykjavík accommodation. From the capital, you will travel through the  Hvalfjordur tunnel on your way to the charming farmlands of Borgarnes in Borgarfjordur.

You will soon arrive at the lovely village of Hellnar, providing ample opportunity to explore the settlement's shops, traditional church and the surrounding sea caves and bird cliffs. This is also an excellent stop to grab a bite to eat.

Next, you will visit Lóndrangar, a pair of basalt rock pinnacles that protrude from the already cragged coastline of the southern Snæfellsnes peninsula. Afterward, you will make stops at the charming villages of Hellissandur, Ólafsvík, Grundarfjörður, all rich with their respective fishing traditions. Around this area, you will also have fantastic views of the most photographed mountain in Iceland, Kirkjufell. 

Finally, you will arrive in Stykkishólmur, a unique town made famous for its starring role in the Ben Stiller vehicle, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". Here, you will have a delicious dinner and spend the night. 

A boat trip is the first thing on today's agenda; sailing out to the magnificent Breiðafjörður, you will have fantastic views over nesting seabirds, towering cliff faces and uninhabited islets. The boat trip will take approximately two and a half hours.

After you're back on dry land, you will stop for a spot of lunch, then make your way to the fantastic waterfall of Dynjandi, truly an aesthetic marvel. Once photographs have been taken, you will continue on, making stops at the beautiful bay of Dýrafjörður before arriving at Flateyri village. Here, you will get an up-close look at the towering avalanche defences that stand guarding the settlement, providing you with a real insight into Iceland's dangerous elemental forces. 

After your time at Flateyri is over, you will continue onward to another village, Suðureyri, as well as Isafjörður, the largest town in the north-west.  You will feel truly blessed to be in this area of immense beauty; thankfully, this is where you will spend your second night. 

Your third day is the perfect blend of beautiful, scenic fjords, traditional fishing villages and sweeping coastal valleys. You will begin by visiting the village of Súðavík before crossing the Steingrímsfjarðarheiði Highlands on your way to Hólmavík, where you will have lunch. 

You will also have an opportunity today to bathe in a gorgeous natural pool, truly an authentic Icelandic experience. As the locals will readily tell you, not much in this world can beat the relaxing feeling of soaking yourself surrounded by the glory of nature, an experience complimented even further when combined with the radiant glare of the Midnight Sun or the dancing green waves of the Aurora Borealis. 

You will spend the third night of this adventure in the area of Gilsfjörður, an area known to be the home of soaring sea eagles. 

The fourth and final day of your adventure begins by exploring the village of Búðardalur, learning about its unique culture and fascinating history. Next, you are going to Brattabrekka Highlands and Borgarfjörður. Here, you will have spectacular views of Norðurá river, as well as its adjoining waterfalls, and will even have the chance to stroll through a fantastical forested landscape. 

Next up is the largest hot spring in Europe, Deildartunguhver. This area is characterised by its steaming, volcanic vents and mossy-green hillsides, making for fantastic photographs. After Deildartunguhver, you will make a visit to Reykholt village for a lunch stop. 

Next, you will visit the waterfalls Hraunfossar and Barnafoss history. Hraunfossar is, in fact, better described as a series of small waterfalls that run collectively out of the lava rock, creating one of the most unique natural features in the country. 

Finally, you will begin to make the return journey back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
