Another incredible adventure in Iceland
Gunnar picked our party of four at the airport then we drove to Snaefellsnes Peninsula stopping at several sights and hiking down a lava tunnel. The scenery was green and lush with waterfalls, mountains and rivers. For five days he drove us through the Westfjords expertly driving on rough roads but that didn’t matter with his 4-wheel drive Mercedes van. He selected perfect hotel accommodations and organized everything. He knows many proprietors living in Iceland his entire life. He had many surprises like the perfect place to see puffins and eat delicious desserts. We crossed the country to Reynisfjara eating langoustine at my favorite restaurant, Fjorubordid. He delivered us to our hotel for three night in Reykjavík then our final day, was picked up and taken to the airport. This is my third time using Friend in Iceland and I wouldn’t see the country any other way.
Response from the operator: Well it was a good time we had and lovely to have you ladies on this tour so happy and eager to see new things and drive on the steep and high roads of the Westfjords I had a great time thanks! Regards Gunnar

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Westfjords Strandir - Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Westfjords Strandir - Private cost?
+
Prices start at $1,713 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Westfjords Strandir - Private take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Westfjords Strandir - Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Westfjords Strandir - Private?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Westfjords Strandir - Private suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Westfjords Strandir - Private?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Westfjords Strandir - Private start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Westfjords Strandir - Private?
