5 places not to miss in the Icelandic Westfjords by @macs_explore⁠ ⁠ 1. Látrabjarg⁠ These impressive sea cliffs are located on the south end of the Westfjords and relatively easy to access. There is a trail that takes you from the parking lot up along the cliffs. If you’re there between May-August, you will likely see puffins too!⁠ ⁠ 2. Dynjandi Falls⁠ Undoubtely one of the most amazing waterfalls in Iceland–you cannot miss Dynjandi in the Westfjords. It takes some effort to get to but trust us, it’s 100% worth it. There is a hiking trail that takes you up to every “tier” of the waterfall.⁠ ⁠ 3. Hellulaug Hot Springs⁠ There are a few hot springs in the Westfjords (some free, some paid), but these were hands-down our favorite ones. Hellulaug sits right off the side of the road overlooking the ocean. It can be a bit crowded here, but if you come early in the morning or late in the evening, you might get lucky and get these hot springs to yourself.⁠ ⁠ 4. Rauðisandur Beach⁠ This red sand beach doesn’t look so red, but it’s still really beautiful and a must when you’re visiting the Westfjords. There’s a cute little French cafe that sits across the street from the beach that sells lovely pastries, soup and hot cocoa.⁠ ⁠ 5. Hornstrandir Nature Reserve⁠ By far our favorite place in the Westfjords (and probably all of Iceland!) was Hornstrandir. Mind-blowing scenery, arctic foxes, and hardly any people around make this destination extra special. To get there, you have to take a 2.5 ferry ride there (there are no roads or cars here, only hiking trails) and then there are multiple hiking trails to access.⁠ ⁠ 📷 @macs_explore ⁠ 📍 Westfjords, Iceland
