Patreksfjordur Tours & Activities | Discover Westfjords Iceland

Patreksfjordur is a charming fishing village tucked away in Iceland’s remote Westfjords. Surrounded by dramatic mountains and a peaceful fjord, this small town is the perfect base for exploring untouched natural beauty, towering cliffs, and vibrant birdlife. Its tranquil atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for travellers seeking unique landscapes and authentic Icelandic culture far from the crowds.

A Glimpse into the Past

This quaint community was settled in the 17th century, mainly by fishermen from the British Isles and the Basque region. Through the years, its harbour has played a big role in the region’s economy. Traces of its maritime heritage are visible today in the town’s small museums and colourful boats bobbing along the docks.

When to Go

The summer months, from June to August, offer the warmest temperatures and longest days, perfect for hiking and wildlife watching. During this period, you can enjoy the midnight sun and access to the area's stunning natural sites. Winters are quieter and colder, but they offer a chance to see the Northern Lights.

Is it easy to reach the village?

Getting here usually involves a drive along scenic coastal roads, or a seasonal ferry from Stykkishólmur. While remote, the journey itself is part of the adventure, showcasing breathtaking landscapes along the way.
