Why Visitors Feel Connected in Westfjords & West Iceland

There’s something magical about Iceland’s western shores—the sweeping fjords, endless horizons and friendly locals all combine to create a place where every traveler feels at home. When you book your stay through Ourhotels.is, you’re not just reserving a room—you’re joining a community that celebrates authentic Icelandic life.

True Hospitality at Every Inn

Whether you step into Hvítá Inn in Borgarfjörður (just a short drive from Borgarnes) or unwind by the fire at The Stykkishólmur Inn, you’ll be greeted with genuine warmth. At Ísafjörður Inn, after a day of exploring rugged coastlines, you’ll swap stories over local seafood in a dining room that feels like your own living room.

Activities That Create Lasting Memories

• Hike to hidden waterfalls and feel the mist on your face, reminding you how alive you are in nature.
• Go on a boat tour from Stykkishólmur to meet Atlantic puffins and seals—an experience that sparks a lifelong love of wildlife.
• Drive the coastal roads near Ísafjörður, stopping at little fishing villages to practice your Icelandic phrases and share a laugh with friendly residents.
• Relax in the truck-themed lounge at Truck Inn at Hvítá, where fellow travelers swap tips over coffee.

When to Go and How Long to Stay

Summer (June–August) brings the midnight sun, perfect for long hikes and midnight swims. Autumn (September–October) lights up the northern sky with vivid Aurora Borealis shows. Plan for 5–7 days to truly settle into the rhythm of Westfjords & West Iceland—any shorter, and you might miss the hidden gems tucked off the beaten path.

What to Pack for an Uplifting Journey

• Layered clothing and a waterproof jacket—weather can shift in minutes.
• Sturdy hiking boots for rugged trails and black-sand beaches.
• A refillable water bottle—you’ll find crystal-clear springs around every corner.
• A camera or smartphone—capture the golden light and dramatic landscapes that connect you to Iceland’s wild spirit.
