Escapade d'Été de 2 jours dans les Fjords de l'Ouest en Islande avec Vols depuis Reykjavik

On your first day, you will arrive at Reykjavík Domestic Airport in good time for your flight to the Westfjords. It is a small airport that is quick to get through, and the journey only lasts approximately thirty-five minutes. Upon arrival in Bíldudalur, you will meet your guides, who will take you to your Super Jeep.

In this vehicle, no mountain pass is an obstacle, and your expert guides will be able to take you expertly around the fjords. Your first destination is the Látrabjarg birdwatching cliffs, the largest of its kind in all of Europe.

Látrabjarg is renowned for its wealth of birds throughout summer. A dozen species, including puffins, nest in the cliffs and can be easily seen within arms reach. Of course, you should not try touch the birds, and you should stay a few metres from the edge for your own safety, and because puffins nest in burrows and you run the risk of collapsing them by putting weight on them.

Látrabjarg also has a wealth of folklore and history that your guide will tell you all about. Of particular note is the story of a shipwreck at the base of the peninsula, of which the stranded sailors would have died if locals did not descend the cliffs on ropes to save them.

Your next destination is the beach Rauðasandur, but en route, you will stop at another coastal stretch to admire a seal colony. Many seals live around the Westfjords, but in few other places do you have the opportunity to see so many so close. As you travel around the fjords, be sure to keep your eyes out for them, as well as whales, which are commonly seen from shore in summer.

Rauðasandur is a beautiful stretch of golden sands, which is unusual in Iceland; much more common are the black sand beaches. It has an almost tropical feel, and you’ll have plenty of time to walk along it.

For the evening, you will relax in natural hot springs before retiring.
