6 Day Westfjords Private Tour Iceland

Day 1: Reykjavik, Borgarfjörður and West Iceland

Your private tour begins with pickup at your hotel in Reykjavík or directly from Keflavík Airport, depending on your arrival time. The route heads north through West Iceland, passing lava fields, fjords, mountains and countryside landscapes.

The journey can include the Borgarfjörður region, with possible stops at Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls, the historic area of Reykholt or selected viewpoints along the way.

This first day allows travellers to gradually leave the capital region and approach the more remote landscapes leading towards the Westfjords.

Day 2: Journey into the Southern Westfjords in Iceland

The second day continues towards the southern part of the Westfjords, entering a region of remote valleys, mountain roads and quiet coastal scenery.

The route can include viewpoints, small villages and scenic roads around the entrance of the Westfjords. Depending on the pace of the day, there is time for relaxed stops along the coast before reaching the southern fjords.

This day is mainly about the transition into one of Iceland's most peaceful regions, where traffic becomes lighter and the landscapes increasingly dramatic.

Day 3: Látrabjarg Cliffs, Rauðasandur Beach and Patreksfjörður in Iceland

The third day is dedicated to some of the most iconic landscapes of the southern Westfjords.

The route can include Látrabjarg, one of the westernmost points of Iceland and Europe, famous for its dramatic sea cliffs and seasonal birdlife during the nesting period.

Continue towards Rauðasandur Beach, a remarkable red and golden sand beach surrounded by mountains and open coastal scenery. Its remote location makes it one of the most peaceful and unusual coastal landscapes in Iceland.

Depending on weather, road conditions and the preferred pace, the day can also include fishing villages, coastal viewpoints and quiet fjord landscapes around Patreksfjörður.

Day 4: Dynjandi Waterfall and Fjord Roads to Ísafjörður in Iceland

The fourth day follows one of the most scenic driving routes in the Westfjords. The road passes through fjords, mountain passes, remote coastlines and viewpoints where the journey itself becomes one of the day's main experiences.

The principal highlight is Dynjandi Waterfall, a wide, tiered waterfall that creates one of the most distinctive natural settings in the region.

The short walk towards the main waterfall passes several smaller cascades and provides excellent opportunities for photography.

After visiting Dynjandi, continue through the fjords towards Ísafjörður, the largest town in the Westfjords and the main base in the northern part of the region.

Day 5: Ísafjörður, Bolungarvík and Northern Westfjords in Iceland

The fifth day is dedicated to Ísafjörður and the northern Westfjords.

Ísafjörður offers a charming harbor, colourful houses, local restaurants and a strong maritime atmosphere. The slower pace of this day allows more time to experience the local character of the region after several days of scenic driving.

The itinerary can continue to Bolungarvík, nearby fjord viewpoints and scenic roads around the northern fjords. Short walks and additional coastal viewpoints can be included according to weather and the preferred pace.

This is intentionally a more relaxed day, giving travellers time to enjoy the atmosphere and landscapes of the northern Westfjords.

Day 6: Ísafjörður, Westfjords Return Route and Reykjavik in Iceland

The final day is dedicated to the return journey from Ísafjörður to Reykjavík by private vehicle.

This is a long but highly scenic travel day, crossing remote fjords, mountain landscapes, coastal roads and the quiet countryside of West Iceland.

The route can include short stops for viewpoints, photography, coffee breaks or local villages depending on weather, road conditions and the preferred pace.

Although this is principally a return day, the journey remains part of the Westfjords experience rather than simply a transfer.

Arrival in Reykjavík is expected in the late afternoon or evening.
