Why Iceland feels honest

Iceland’s rugged landscapes and unspoiled wilderness have a way of stripping away distractions and showing you what really matters. From the volcanic black sands of the south coast to the dramatic fjords of the Westfjords, every vista feels authentic and unfiltered. When you stay with Ourhotels.is, that honest beauty isn’t just out your window—it’s part of your daily routine.

Why Iceland Feels Honest

The air in Iceland carries a crispness that wakes up your senses. Waterfalls tumble freely without guardrails, and you can stand at the edge of a glacier with no barriers between you and the ice. There’s a purity here—of landscape, of culture, and of experiences—that invites you to slow down and connect deeply with your surroundings.

Stay Connected to Nature

Choose a base that reflects the spirit of Icelandic simplicity. Book a cozy room at Truck Inn at Hvítá, where the river’s flow lulls you to sleep and cascading waterfalls are just minutes away. Or head to Ísafjörður Inn in the heart of the Westfjords, where Arctic char fishermen still mend their nets along the harbor.

Practical Travel Tips

What to Do

• Soak in natural hot springs like Deildartunguhver or the Blue Lagoon.
• Hike to hidden waterfalls—Glymur in Borgarfjörður is a must-see.
• Explore lava fields and black sand beaches along the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
• Chase the Northern Lights in winter or experience the midnight sun in summer.
• Kayak among icebergs in Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon.

When to Go

• May to September: Long daylight hours, lush landscapes, puffin sightings.
• October to April: Dark skies for Northern Lights, cozy nights by the fire.

What to Pack

• Warm layers and a waterproof shell.
• Sturdy hiking boots with good grip.
• Swimwear for hot springs.
• Camera or smartphone with extra batteries—it gets cold fast!
• Reusable water bottle; Icelandic tap water is some of the purest on Earth.

How Long to Stay

Plan for at least 5–7 days to explore West Iceland’s glaciers, waterfalls, and peninsulas at a relaxed pace. If you’re chasing the Northern Lights or want to venture deep into the Westfjords, add a few extra days to soak in more solitude and off-the-beaten-path wonders.
