Over the last few years, the number of visitors has been growing fast in Iceland and seems to increase constantly. Only about 10% of visitors ever get to experience the Westfjords region and the reason is simple; the oddly shaped peninsula of north-western Iceland is too far and separated from the ring road.

What's this trip about?

    Over the last few years, the number of visitors has been growing fast in Iceland and seems to increase constantly. Only about 10% of visitors ever get to experience the Westfjords region and the reason is simple; the oddly shaped peninsula of north-western Iceland is too far and separated from the ring road. If you prefer to avoid crowds of tourists and discover Iceland’s most isolated, unspoiled wilderness with a native Icelandic photographer, this tour is definitely for you.

Day 2 – Snæfеllѕnеѕ

Our journey begins with a memorable exploration of the diverse and fascinating landscape of the 100km long Snæfellsnes peninsula. The area is known as “the mіnіаturе mоdеl of Iсеlаnd” because it features a sample of all of the country’s beautiful and dynamic attractio...

Day 3-4 – Wеѕtfjоrdѕ

On the third day we take the ferry from Stykkishólmur over the vast fjord of Breiðafjörður, which separates Snæfellsnes and the Westfjords. Hopefully you have enjoyed Snæfellsnes and can now get ready for the real adventure. We take in the magnificent view of the fjor...

Day 5 – Arnаrfjörður – Dynjandi Waterfalls

Next day we are headed over the mountain towards the most beautiful fjord of the Westfjords, the 30km long and 5-10km wide, Arnаrfjörður. According to folk tales, the fjord of Arnаrfjörður is meant to inhabit most of monsters in all the fjords in Iceland. The breathta...

Day 6 – Dýrafjörður – Mt. Kaldbakur

On the sixth day, wе continue to the Westfjords’ tallest mountain, the 998m high and very eye-catching Mt. Kaldbakur. Unlike the other mountains of the Westfjords that are mostly table topped, this one is more pointy and keen, thus often referred to as “the Westfjords...

Day 7 -8 – Ísafjarðardjúp

We proceed on the isolated serpentines of the 75km long Ísafjarðardjúp fjord with a few stops at spectacular photo spots. We travel around countless fjords such as Álftafjörður, Seyðisfjörður, Hestfjörður, Skötufjörður, Mjóіfjörður, Vаtnѕfjörður and Reykjarfjörður, al...

Day 9 – Travel day towards Reykjavik

On our last day, we wrap up our photography adventure and return to Reykjavik. It’s a long drive, time to relax, gaze out of the window and admire the landscape without the camera in front of us. We share a dinner at a local restaurant in Reykjavík and say our goodbyes.

Day 10 – Departure

Please arrange your transfer to Keflavik Airport. In case of late departure, you may want to visit the Blue Lagoon for a nice, relaxing soak before a safe flight home.

We hope you had a wonderful and valuable photography experience with us and look forward to welcoming you back some day soon.
