What to expect
Djúpavík is a small village in the North-West of Iceland, located at the head of Reykjarfjörður on the Strandir coast in the Westfjords region. The village has a rich history, dating back to 1917 when a herring factory was established. The factory operated until 1954 and today serves as an exhibition building. The village is surrounded by breathtaking nature and is a great place to experience the beauty of Iceland's landscape and wildlife, including the Northern Lights. Visitors can stay at the Hótel Djúpavík, which is open all year round, and explore the area's scenic drives and historic sites
