Exploring Iceland’s Northern Scenic Landscapes

Discover Northern Iceland’s Scenic Wonders

From dramatic fjords to sweeping tundra, Iceland’s northern landscapes offer a world of exploration and inspiration. Whether you’re chasing the midnight sun in summer or the dancing northern lights in winter, a stay in Westfjords and North Iceland is the perfect way to recharge. Ourhotels.is connects you with cozy, convenient accommodations so you can focus on creating unforgettable memories.

When to Go

• Summer (June–August): Warm temperatures, endless daylight, and perfect hiking conditions.
• Shoulder Seasons (May & September): Fewer crowds, crisp air, and early/late northern light sightings.
• Winter (October–March): Snowy panoramas, ice caves, and prime aurora borealis viewing.

What to Do

• Hike the Arctic Fox Routes in Hornstrandir Nature Reserve.
• Kayak through Ísafjarðardjúp fjord past towering cliffs and seabird colonies.
• Visit Dynjandi Waterfall—often called the “jewel of the Westfjords.”
• Spot puffins and whales from the cliffs of Látrabjarg.
• Soak in a remote hot spring under the stars.

What to Pack

• Layered clothing: a good base layer, fleece, and waterproof shell.
• Sturdy hiking boots with ankle support.
• Warm hat, gloves, and a neck gaiter for wind protection.
• Camera with extra batteries (cold weather drains power quickly).
• Daypack with reusable water bottle and snacks.

How Long to Stay

Plan for at least 5–7 days to fully experience the highlights of Westfjords and North Iceland. That gives you time to:

• Settle in and beat jet lag.
• Take day trips to remote villages and iconic landmarks.
• Enjoy flexible weather days for outdoor adventures.
