Itinerary

Day 1 | West Iceland and Heydalur

You are picked-up in Reykjavik in the morning and then driven through the beautiful landscapes of West Iceland to the secluded and peaceful Heydalur Valley in the Westfjords. Total travel time is approx. 8 hrs including stops at several attractions en route; the Settlement Centre at Borgarnes for a peak into Iceland's Viking past and lunch, Deildartunguhver Hot Spring and Hraunfossar and Barnafossar falls, driving through historic Reykholt as well. In the evening you are served a scrumptious 3-course dinner with the family in a converted old barn at Heydalur. Afterwards, you can relax in the on-site natural hot spring pool. If the skies are clear you have the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights.
