Hotel West also serves as a perfect accommodation for Westfjords day trips. Drive 21 miles (33 kilometers) to Raudisandur’s golden-red beach, 38 miles (61 kilometers) to the puffin-filled Latrabjarg Cliffs, or 55 miles (88 kilometers) to the Dynjandi Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural sights.
