Experience the Magic of West Iceland - Snæfellsnes and Silver Circle

Vesturland, otherwise known as the West Region of Iceland, is a stunning and diverse landscape that boasts a range of unique geographical features and cultural attractions. From the majestic Snæfellsjökull glacier to the hidden waterfalls of Hraunfossar, Vesturland is a must-see destination for nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike.

It is also home to Borgarnes and Reykholt – two charming towns. Borgarnes, the commercial center of the region, is situated on the shore of Borgarfjörður fjord. The town boasts a range of attractions, including the Hliðartúnhúsið Turf House, Settlement Center or local swimming pool powered by geothermal waters just to name a few.

Reykholt, on the other hand, is a small village that is known for its hot springs and literary history. The town was once home to the legendary writer, Snorri Sturluson, who wrote many of Iceland’s most famous sagas. Visitors can explore the Snorralaug hot spring, which is believed to have been used by Snorri himself.

West Iceland Region

Why West Iceland is a Must-Visit Destination for Nature Lovers and Adventurers?

Vesturland is home to a variety of natural and cultural attractions that are sure to wow visitors. In addition to the famous Snæfellsjökull glacier, the region boasts towering cliffs, pristine beaches, and charming fishing villages. Here is what you can find in our West Iceland Tours itineraries:
LAVA FORMATIONS

Arnarstapi is a picturesque fishing village located in the Snæfellsnes Peninsula of Vesturland, Iceland. It is surrounded by stunning cliffs, beautiful beaches, and dramatic rock formations unlike any others to be found in Iceland.

The coastline here is a dramatic combination of colors, with black lava rocks and deep green and bright yellow mosses clinging to them, all set against the brilliant blues of the sea and sky. 

Take a stroll along the cliffs to take stunning pictures, with our guides to help point the way to the best images, including the marvelous sea arch of Gatklettur, the “Rock with a Hole”.

BEACHES

On the West Coast you will find several stunning beaches that offer breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere.

Ytri-Tunga beach is a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers due to its beautiful black sand and abundant wildlife, particularly the seals that can often be seen lounging on the shore.

Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach is another must-visit destination, known for its unique rock formations and stunning views of the rough ocean. There you can test your strenght like a local fisherman – just try to pick up one of the “lifting stones”

HOT SPRINGS

In West Iceland you will find coutless bubling hot springs. Deildartunguhver is the largest hot spring in Iceland, with an output of around 180 liters per second of boiling water. The steam rising from the ground is an impressive sight to behold. If you book one of the multi-day tours including stay in Borgarnes, you will sleep in a room heated by it and shower in its waters. You can also go for an evening visit in the swimming pool and relax like a local. 

Another site surrounded by steaming vents is Reykholt – a place where you will see some of the oldest examples of swimming pools used in middle-ages.

LAVA FIELDS

The lava fields in Iceland are incredibly diverse, with different textures, colors, and shapes that make them a photographer’s dream. The black, jagged rock formations contrast with the green moss that grows on them, creating a striking contrast that is simply breathtaking.

Our expert guides will lead you to the best viewing points, providing you with insight and information about the geology and history of the area. You’ll learn about the different types of volcanic eruptions, how they shape the landscape, and the effects they have on Iceland’s environment and culture.

WILDLIFE

West Iceland is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. One of the most prominent species that call this place home is the seal. You can spot them basking on the rocky shores, playing in the water, or even swimming alongside boats. The seals are known for their playful nature and are a joy to watch.

You will also find nesting ground for a variety of bird species, including the puffin (May-Aug), guillemot, and arctic tern. One of the best opportunity to watch them is we come to the towering Londrangar Cliffs – jagged 70-meter-high cliffs located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.  

HÚSAFELL

Surrounded by stunning landscapes, including glaciers, waterfalls, and lava fields, Húsafell is the most popular travel destination among locals. There are many attractions in and around Húsafell, but two of the most popular are the lava caving at Viðgelmir and the 4WD ride to Húsafell Canyon Baths.

Viðgelmir is the largest lava cave in Iceland and is located just 15 minutes away from Húsafell. The cave was formed over 1,100 years ago. as is filled with lava stalactites.
