Exploring the West Coast like Vikings

Embark on an exhilarating two-day journey, beginning with a captivating exploration of Iceland's remarkable west. Departing from Reykjavik, your adventure unfolds amidst a landscape adorned with lava fields, cascading waterfalls, intriguing lava caves, and contrasting white and black beaches.

As you venture from Reykjavík, your path leads you along the majestic Mount Esja, which offers a panoramic view of the entire city. Soon, you will find yourself immersed in the scenic embrace of Hvalfjörður (whale fjord), followed by the enchanting Borgarfjörður.

Your first stop of the day is Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring. Witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of water bubbling and steam rising from the ground, enveloping you in its natural warmth. Continuing onward, you'll reach Reykholt, an esteemed historical site that holds great significance in Icelandic lore. It was once the residence of Snorri Sturluson, a prominent figure from the Middle Ages.

Leaving Reykholt behind, you'll encounter two breathtaking waterfalls: Hraunfossar and Barnafoss. Hraunfossar presents a captivating sight as rivulets of water meander through the dark lava field, creating a mesmerizing display. Meanwhile, Barnafoss, a light blue waterfall, rushes through a narrow gorge, leaving visitors in awe of its ethereal beauty.

As the day comes to an end, you'll enjoy a peaceful night's stay at Stykkishólmur INN or in Hotel Borgarnes (depending on the route).

Stykkishólmur and Borgarfjordur are captivating towns characterised by colourful houses that line the coast, creating a postcard-worthy scene.
