What to See & Do

---

There is no time to cry boredom in West Iceland. The landscape and nature provide the perfect playground for visitors to the area.

This vast area consists of fjords, valleys, craters, glaciers and volcanoes. Travel through historical Borgarfjörður, home to most of the Icelandic sagas and their heroes or venture close to the centre of the earth at Snaefellsjokull glacier or visit Dalir, the cradle of the great explorers, Eiríkur the Red and his son, Leifur the Lucky.

Many hiking trails and walking paths criss-cross West Iceland leading from one highlight to the next.

Boat trips are available, sea angling or just nature tours. The Icelandic horse can cross the mountains, rivers and valleys of West Iceland with ease, making horseriding a pleasurable experience.
Fresh water lakes and rivers are dotted all over the west, a good catch for the discerning fisherman. Fishing licences can usually be bought from nearby service stations.  Sea-angling is another fishing option, this time enjoying the gifts of the sea.
