  • Hi, I see that your hotel is an island. Is the ferry running at all times? I want to explore Westfjords with my boyfriend for the 4 days we are there so we would want to be up early and able to take our car around the Westfjords area. Thanks for your help, Ashley

    There are 2 ferries running daily during the summer months. To help with your trip planning you can see the current schedule on Seatours site under Baldur

  • good day! from what i understood there are no cars allowed on Flatey Island. On booking.com however it says that parking is available is this true?

    cars are not allowed on Flatey Island, but parking is available in either port- Stykkisholmur or Brjanslaekur. Additionally, the ferry company can deliver your car to "the other side" during your stopover in Flatey.
