Pollurinn Hot Pool

My personal map of hot springs both wild ones and paid ones

If you’re thinking of going to Iceland and including the Westfjords in your trip, this guide is made for you. I have been living in the Westfjords for 2 years now and started working as a tourist guide alongside my studies. I have traveled around the country and I still think that the Westfjords are among the most remote and beautiful places. When people go to Iceland, they often come for 7 or 10 days around the ring road, and skip the Westfjords due to lack of time or because they have never heard of the Westfjords. This small region of 7,000 inhabitants has so much to show you. You do need a good car and a few days to visit it though, because roads are winding and are subject to the harsh climate (check veður.is) Roads are often closed in the winter (check road.is), but it is an incredible time to go to the Westfjords to see snowy fjords and northern lights. Get this guide if: - you’re interested in visiting the Westfjords and spend a few days there - you don’t mind driving a lot - you want tips and recommendations from someone that lives there - you want to know where to find the best hot pots in Iceland

If you want to experience the real Icelandic culture, there is one thing you should definitely try and it is the Hot Springs! ♨️ It is my absolute favourite activity in Iceland since I've moved here: finding new hidden hot springs in the wild to relax in! 🏞️ Just for you, I've gathered all the spots I could find, some I've visited already and some not yet that you might explore before I do. 👀 Now, prepare your towel and your swimsuit and let's dive in! 🛀
