After arriving in Iceland you'll have a chance to explore Reykjavík, the northernmost capital in the world. Known for its colorful rooftops, creative energy, and relaxed atmosphere, the city offers a mix of contemporary design, lively cafés, and rich Icelandic history.

You'll be picked up at your hotel in the morning and we start the trip with a long and scenic drive to the Westfjords until we reach the beautiful town Ísafjörður, located in one of the amazing fjords, where we'll spend the next 3 nights. Along the way we'll admire the beauty of the Icelandic countryside and make some great stops for photo opportunities and leg stretching.

We drive over to the next fjord, Álftafjörður, where we take on a beautiful, off the beaten path, hike. It brings us past some stunning waterfalls and big canyons, up to a high mountain pass with great views over the surrounding fjords.

Today is a big day and a big adventure. We’ll be heading to Hornstrandir nature reserve, one of the most isolated places in Iceland! We must travel by a boat for 2,5 hours to reach the spectacular area, Hornvík. Here we’ll go on a hike that takes us up towards Hornbjarg, some of the steepest and largest sea cliffs in all of Iceland, filled with birdlife, arctic foxes and unreal views!

We leave Ísafjörður behind and start working our way to the southern part of the Westfjords. Along the way we hike up the small mountain Mýrarfell, which gives us wonderful 360° view over the fjord Dýrafjörður. From there we drive to Dynjandi, the largest waterfall in the Westfjords before we work our way to Reykjafjörður for a dip in a natural geothermal pool.

We spend the whole day hiking along the cliffs of Látrabjarg, the largest sea cliffs in Iceland and Europe's largest bird cliff, which include the all so popular puffins. We hike up to the highest point of the cliffs to get the absolute best panorama views possible! In the afternoon we'll head to Rauðasandur, known for its striking red and golden hues, this wide, peaceful beach offers a different atmosphere. With soft sand underfoot, you'll be able to wander around the beach, reflecting on today's (and past day's) adventure.

We'll be saying our goodbyes to the Westfjords and moving further south, to a location that gives us more flexibility to witness the solar eclipse. We'll catch a ferry across Breiðafjörður bay, a vast and beautiful bay dotted with thousands of small islands, skerries and shallow waters. It is known for its rich birdlife, seals, changing light and the calm, almost timeless atmosphere between the Westfjords and Snæfellsnes.

Today is the day of a once in a lifetime experience in Iceland, the total solar eclipse! The eclipse will be visible along the whole western part of Iceland. Our location will give us flexibility to drive to different locations depending on weather. We'll keep our options open until we know the forecast and aim for either Snæfellsnes or Reykjanes peninsula. We'll have enough time during the day to explore and maybe do some hiking and then conclude the day with the eclipse in the afternoon.

We begin the day with a hike to Glymur, one of Iceland’s most spectacular waterfalls. The adventurous trail winds through a dramatic canyon in Hvalfjörður, featuring creek crossings, elevated viewpoints and breathtaking perspectives of the 198 metre cascade plunging into the gorge below. After the hike, we unwind at Hvammsvík Hot Springs, where natural geothermal pools sit along the shoreline. Soaking in the warm waters with views across the fjord is the perfect way to conclude this unforgettable adventure and reflect on the memories made throughout the journey.

As our journey comes to an end, you’ll have one final morning to enjoy Reykjavík at your own pace. A good time to reflect on all the amazing memories you've made  and all the adventures you've had throughout the last few days. "What an amazing trip", you might think to yourself.
