EspañolThe remote Westfjords are Iceland at its wildest and most untouched — a dramatic claw of land shaped by towering sea cliffs, hairpin fjord roads and thundering waterfalls. Our Westfjords tours reach highlights such as the immense Dynjandi waterfall, the red-and-golden sands of Rauðasandur, and the bird-thronged Látrabjarg cliffs, where puffins nest within arm’s reach in summer.
Few travellers make it this far, so those who do are rewarded with solitude, raw scenery and a real sense of adventure. The Westfjords are best explored over several days, often as part of a longer Iceland journey.
Dynjandi waterfall, the Látrabjarg bird cliffs (Europe's largest), Rauðasandur beach, remote fjords, the Hornstrandir nature reserve, and Arctic foxes.
They are Iceland's most remote populated region, with long, winding and partly unpaved roads. Allow plenty of time, or join a multi-day guided tour.
Summer is strongly recommended, as many roads are gravel and can close in winter weather. Látrabjarg's puffins are present roughly mid-May to early August.
Yes — the Látrabjarg cliffs are one of the best and most accessible places in Iceland to see puffins up close in summer.
At least two to three days to do the region justice, given the distances and winding roads.
