Three Amazing Days in the Westfjords of Iceland - Road Trip Itinerary

Today we are exploring the Westfjords of Iceland in the northwestern corner of the country. This is a much more isolated pocket of the country compared to the popular southern ring road routes, but it is no less beautiful and a worthwhile detour when planning your Iceland road trip. I promised in your the video to include all of the hard to pronounce destinations listed below, these are in the rest of the description and the chapters below. This should also give you a good idea of the route we traveled.
The ferry to the Westfjords leaves from the town of Stykkishólmur on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This is a great day trip to do when traveling from Reykjavik to the Westfjords. Check out our video here: • 5 Incredible Places on...

Hello Sir ! Thank you for your video. It looks like an awesome adventure!
Do you think I can visit the Westfjords with a 2wdrive city car ( Hyundai i10) ?

[@theslowtraveler2047]

You can, but it will just be slower than if you have a 4WD. If I was to return I would defintely be driving a 4WD - it just makes the trip faster and easier on some of the dirt roads.
