In entire Iceland you can find hot pots or hot springs and some nice ones can be found in the Westfjords. There are so many of them that we decided to focus on the nicest ones in our opinion.
Krossneslaug
In order to reach this natural heated swimmingpool you have to take the 643 gravel road and you’ll need to come back via the same road. While getting there you will pass the small village Djupavik and it’s old Herring Factory. Many websites describe this as a very nice experience, but honestly, this particular pool is quite a hassle to swim in natural heated water. There is also a hot pot next to the swimming pool. The accommodation is recently renewed and we found brand new changing rooms with showers. There is a sign to donate some money to help to maintain the property. So if you would be in a hurry I’m not sure that this hot spring is worth the effort of getting here. You can probably do it with a regular car, but we were happy to have our 4×4 campervan.
Reykjafjardarlaug
Not that far from Dynjandi you will find this swimmingpool just next to the road 63. In our opinion this is the same experience as Krossneslaug with way less effort. The changing rooms are a little older but it’s was still all clean. There are 2 pool right next to each other with different temperaturs and you can easily get from the one in the other. The most clear water was really nicely warm. As a bonus you can also access the river next to it and even go sit it that heated river which is like a mini Reykjalandur. If you pass here I strongly recommend to take a swim. The views around this area are stunning.
Hellulaug
Not far from the intersection of road 62 with 60 you can find the hot pot Hellulaug. Directly near the road, a small parking and right next to the sea. We were lucky to be there early in the morning and have the hot pot for ourselves. The weather was awesome, temperature just perfect and the views magnificient. This hot pot is a must do when you are in the area.
