Things to do
Explore the edge of the Westfjords
Bolafjall above the town, a black-sand beach one valley over, and Ísafjörður 15 minutes away. A quiet base, not a remote one.
Bolafjall
- 15–25 min drive
- Best on a clear day
- Summer road
The mountain rising above Bolungarvík, reached by a gravel road. Its viewing platform looks out over the Atlantic and, on clear nights, the midnight sun and Northern Lights.
Skálavík
- ~20 min drive
- Picnics & sunsets
- Summer
The next creek over from Bolungarvík, reached by the same gravel road that leads up to Bolafjall. A hidden paradise with a black-sand beach and a river running to the sea — perfect for a sunny picnic or a romantic sunset.
Hesteyri
- Boat from Ísafjörður
- Day trip
- Summer only
An abandoned village in the Hornstrandir nature reserve, reachable by boat in summer — a hauntingly beautiful day trip into one of Iceland’s last true wildernesses.

A quiet Westfjords base near Ísafjörður
Dúfan is four self-catering apartments in Bolungarvík, a rustic fishing town at the outer edge of the Westfjords. This is not a polished resort village — it is a real working harbour, with mountains at the end of every street and the open Atlantic beyond. It also makes a calm, well-priced base for the whole Ísafjörður area: the regional hub of Ísafjörður — with its restaurants, swimming pool and supermarket — is just 15 minutes away through the Bolungarvíkurgöng tunnel, so you get a quiet home to yourself in the evenings and everything the fjords offer by day. The surroundings are breathtaking all year round.
