Stay with Ourhotels.is

Your base for exploration matters. At Ourhotels.is, choose from charming spots like The Stykkishólmur Inn on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula or the serene Hvítá Inn near Borgarnes. Each location puts you steps away from waterfalls, black-sand beaches and dramatic cliffs.

What to Do

• Soak in natural hot springs and geothermal pools
• Hike rugged trails around Snæfellsjökull and Borgarfjörður
• Join a guided glacier walk or ice-caving adventure
• Chase waterfalls like Hraunfossar and Barnafoss
• Spot puffins and whales on coastal boat tours

When to Go

Spring and summer (May–August) bring midnight sun and lush valleys. If you crave the Northern Lights, visit between September and March when the skies are darkest. Shoulder seasons offer fewer crowds and lower rates.

What to Pack

• Waterproof outer layers and sturdy hiking boots
• Warm base layers—even in summer, temperatures can dip
• Swimwear for hot springs and geothermal spas
• Camera with extra batteries (cold weather drains power)
• Reusable water bottle and eco-friendly toiletries

How Long to Stay

Plan for at least 5–7 days if you want to explore West Iceland’s highlights at a relaxed pace. Extend to 10 days or more to include a full Ring Road tour with stops at Ísafjörður Inn in the Westfjords.
