Ferry Baldur - Stykkishólmur

Sept.24
Great, reliable ferry from Stykkishólmur to Brjánslækur in the Westfjords.

There is only 1 take off on Sunday in wintertime @3PM.
We ordered ferry tickets online for ISK16.710 (2 persons & campervan. It was a short cut of 200KMs driving, but same time.

It took 3 hrs in total with a short 10 min. stop at Flatey, a small island in the middle of the Danish street.

Nice ride from Stykkishólmur to Brjánslækur in the Westfjords. We could have driven around, but were jet-lagged and tired from our flight from the US and appreciated the break and time to rest. Beautiful views (despite the rainy weather) from the ferry all the way. The ferry offers two levels of seating, a snack bar, and plenty of spots for picture-taking outside. It was a bit late but not enough to put us off schedule much.

Prendre le ferry Baldur est une excellente alternative à la longue route qui relie Brjánslækur et Stykkisholmur en offrant une perspective bien différente du territoire islandais. Cette traversée entre les fjords de l’Ouest et la péninsule de Snæfellsnes dure environ 3h. En plus d’offrir un sublime panorama sur la baie et ses nombreuses îles, celle-ci permet un bref arrêt à la minuscule île de Flatey. Bien qu’il ne soit pas possible de débarquer du bateau si l’on désire poursuivre la traversée, cela permet tout de même d’avoir un visuel sur cette mignonne île où l’on ne retrouve que quelques bâtiments colorés et quelques habitants. Le traversier Baldur n’a rien de morderne, mais la traversée a été relativement confortable malgré tout. Le bateau est plutôt propre, le service est courtois et la cafétéria sert des mets simples, mais bons et à des prix abordables. Je vous conseille de réserver en avance pour assurer votre place, surtout en période de fort achalandage.

Lovely ferry ride with two main sitting areas; restaurant in bottom and the second area (above where the cars are parked) with windows out to the sea. Upper floor was full with people, a quieter place is in the restaurant area but no windows.

A great way to relax from a few days of driving and make our way to the West Fjords. As the pictures show, we had some tall waves tossing us about, so be prepared for sea sickness if one is prone to that feeling. We were fine and found the ride fun.

Sie tut was sie soll. Fährt von A nach B.
Hygiene auf der Fähre ist allerdings nicht so toll. Die Luft im Aufenthaltsraum zum schneiden.
Im Voraus buchen Pflicht, ggf muss man sonst bis zum nächsten Tag oder ein paar Stunden warten.
Die Fähre fährt ab Anfang Juli 2x am Tag, davor nur 1x am Tag morgens. Zwingend beachten!

A fun way to get to the Westfjords. The ferry has a galley and lounge. Definitely recommend if you're planning to visit the Westfjords.

It is great place to spot the ship leaving the port, also look over the firehouse and the area.
