Westfjords Slow Travel Loop
Loop around the Westfjords to see bird cliffs, red sand beaches, and waterfalls, then take the Baldur ferry back to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
This is the least crowded region in Iceland, with slow mountain roads and limited accommodation, so plenty of time is budgeted for each leg. Stay three consecutive nights in Ísafjörður to arrange boat trips and visit fishing villages. Head south to see Dynjandi waterfall and the Látrabjarg bird cliffs, and finally cross Breiðafjörður by ferry. This route excludes the Ring Road (Route 1) and is perfect for repeat visitors who love hiking and bird watching.
Best from June to August; puffins come ashore in summer. Check road.is before mountain roads open.
