What you’ll do

The Westfjords is one of the most magical parts of Iceland. It’s remote, unique and quiet. There’s so much to explore and the fjord drive are breathtaking.

You can start this itinerary either by exploring the Southern Part of the Westfjords of the Northern. I somehow like to do the Northern first and finish with the Southern Part.

Day Total

411,2 km (255,5 mi)

5 h 22 min

Day 1 is about making it to the Westfjords. You will see some amazing things along the way before the day. I suggest staying in Heydalur on night 1 before continuing the adventure towards Ísafjörður on Day 2.

There are not super many places listen on day one - but there’s plenty of small unexpected sights and photo-spots along the way. Many are weather dependent.
