Traveling Iceland with curiosity

Ignite Your Sense of Wonder

Traveling Iceland with curiosity means embracing every unexpected turn, from bubbling hot springs to dramatic fjords. At Ourhotels.is, we set the stage for discovery by offering cozy, locally inspired stays that invite you to slow down, explore, and connect with Iceland’s wild heart.

Where to Stay in Westfjords & West Iceland

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls or whale watching, comfort awaits:

• Hvítá Inn (Borgarfjörður): Nestled close to Borgarnes, this charming inn puts you near lava fields, thermal pools, and the famous Hraunfossar waterfalls.
• Ísafjörður Inn: In the dramatic Westfjords, it’s a perfect base for boat trips, bird cliffs, and local seafood feasts.

What to Do

• Stroll along black-sand shores and watch Atlantic waves.
• Hike to volcanic craters, glaciers, and geothermal fields.
• Take a scenic boat tour in Ísafjarðardjúp to spot seals and puffins.
• Relax in natural hot springs near Borgarnes or the Blue Lagoon alternative at Deildartunguhver.

When to Go

Summer (June–August) brings nearly endless daylight and mild temperatures, perfect for trekking and sightseeing. Winter (November–March) offers Northern Lights, ice cave adventures, and cozy evenings by a crackling fire.

What to Pack

• Waterproof, windproof jacket and sturdy boots for variable weather.
• Layered clothing: fleece or merino wool base layers.
• Swimsuit and towel for hot springs.
• Camera or smartphone with extra batteries (cold drains power fast!).
• Reusable water bottle and a small daypack.

How Long to Stay

A 5–7 day itinerary gives you time to explore Borgarfjörður, cruise the Westfjords, and savor local culture. Extend your stay to 10 days to include the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and hidden highlands.
