While the masses flock south, we guided our member northward from Reykjavik, unveiling the hidden treasures of Iceland's Westfjords during peak season. This meticulously curated journey offered an escape from the crowds, immersing our members in some of the country's most awe-inspiring natural wonders.
Iceland's popularity as a premier outdoor destination has soared, boasting a landscape adorned with volcanoes, glaciers, obsidian beaches, and countless cascading waterfalls. Our member sought to experience this raw beauty without the intrusion of tourist throngs. We crafted an exclusive adventure that led them far from the beaten path while preserving the essence of an authentic Icelandic odyssey.
The Westfjords, Iceland's best-kept secret, became the centerpiece of this bespoke journey. Its seclusion and distance from the famed "Ring Road" deter many travelers, making it the perfect sanctuary.
Puffin Nesting in LÁtrAbjarg
An eight-mile stretch of majestic cliffs rising nearly 1,500 feet, home to Iceland's largest concentration of seabirds, including the charismatic puffins. Our clients enjoyed these charming creatures up close in their natural habitat, far from the typical tourist vantage points.
Hike Up to Dynjandi
Known as the "Jewel of the Westfjords," this breathtaking cascade plunges 350 feet, offering a private spectacle away from the usual crowds. We arranged a short hike for our clients, leading them from a nearly deserted parking area to the base of this awe-inspiring natural wonder, where they could feel the mist on their faces in blissful solitude.
Soak in the Drangsnes Hot Pots
A truly authentic experience, these secluded thermal pools perched on the Arctic Ocean's edge provided our clients with an unparalleled moment of tranquility. Our clients had this hidden gem to themselves, allowing them to soak in the warmth of the geothermal waters while gazing out at the vast, icy expanse of the Arctic - a juxtaposition of sensations that epitomizes the unique allure of Iceland.
