You could spend days driving through these magical fjords adventuring!  Very easily, you could spend a day discovering the beautiful beaches within the Westfjords such as the beautiful Rauðisandur golden sand beach.  Waterfall hunting as an additional day is so much fun!  Then heading to the High North area of the fjords hiking and bird watching around the cliffs of Bolafjall.

Hot spring and warm geothermal pools are throughout the Western Fjords as well, ready to be discovered by you!  Yet another day, can be spent exploring the many fishing villages throughout the area such as the Djupavik herring factory ruins or the famed village of Ísafjörður!  Do you remember the amazing hotel we featured a few years ago that is tucked within that amazing little town?  If you cannot recall, feel free to back here to explore that Iceland wedding post!

One of the many waterfalls found within Iceland’s Westfjords is the famed, Dynjandi Waterfall.  There are many levels of the waterfall you can explore so take your time to discover every inch!  Maybe even plan a picnic?  The view from the midpoint and the top of the waterfall is quite unforgettable too!

The days I have spent running around the Westfjords, I have been lucky enough to stumble upon several secret waterfalls we would love to share with you as a possible Iceland wedding locations!  …Think: Just the two of you and countless sheep as your audience as you say your memorable Iceland wedding vows to each other! <3

I usually get an email every month from a couple wondering if they can hold their Iceland wedding or elopement in a castle… I sadly always have to respond letting them know there are no castles in Iceland (and maybe they should try Scotland).  But!  There is a gorgeous ruin of an old farm house that resembles the closest thing to a “Castle” in Iceland.

We would love the opportunity to plan your Iceland Adventure Wedding here in the Westfjords.  Feel free to contact us for more information on making that idea your reality!  In the meantime, enjoy a few photos of the fabulous Icelandic Westfjords below.

The post Iceland Wedding Locations | West Fjords appeared first on Iceland Wedding Planner.

One of the most dynamic drives I look forward to doing in Iceland is the West Fjords. It is such a thought-provoking area! Seriously, exploring this section is one of my favorite things to do in Iceland. Every finger of the fjords leads me to some uncharted spot that feels like I alone have just discovered it! This was especially true in my visit to Hotel Ísafjörður. I think during my entire trek upon entering the peninsula I only passed one car. While on my way to this fabulous hotel I discovered several off the beaten path locations that were just magical… like super-secret waterfalls, caves, hot springs, and other picturesque Iceland wedding locations!

I came from the southwest side of the fjords and in going this way I went through about a 5ish or so mile tunnel and as soon as the tunnel ended the beautiful harbor town of Ísafjörður magically appeared! The town is storybook, nestled at the base of mountains, big fishing boats lining the water’s edge, and such super cute store fronts in the quant downtown! So when I pulled up, I couldn’t help but have a silly grin of excitement on my face when I arrived at Hotel Ísafjörður!

The building on the outside is splendid… Each side of it offers a unique view of either the mountains, harbor, or the sweet little downtown! Parking was easy and check-in was a breeze. The staff was friendly and more than accommodating to any questions I had. The rooms were exactly what I needed that evening! Epic view of the nighttime harbor, comfy beds, and a desk for me to catch up on emails! Once I got settled in I went downstairs to the restaurant to delight in their wonderful local deliciousness.
