- Isafjordur - Nestled between steep mountains and encircling a tranquil harbor, Ísafjörður serves as the cultural and economic heart of the Westfjords, marking the beginning of today’s adventure. Despite its modest size, this historic fishing town boasts a vibrant character. The streets are still lined with colorful 19th-century houses, and the harbor is alive with activity, from working boats to adventurous kayakers.
As the tour moves through town, visitors will catch a glimpse of daily life in Iceland’s most remote region, where modernity seamlessly intertwines with age-old traditions. If time permits, there may be a chance to visit landmarks such as the old hospital, now a cultural center, or the Maritime Museum, located in one of Iceland’s oldest buildings.
Ísafjörður is more than just a gateway to nature; it is a thriving community with deep roots in fishing, folklore, and resilience. From here, the journey continues into the fjords, offering a taste of Iceland’s wild, untouched beauty.
- Dynjandi (Fjallfoss) - Ascending like a shimmering bridal veil from the cliffs of Arnarfjörður, Dynjandi is more than just a waterfall; it is a full sensory experience. The name “thundering” becomes clear as soon as visitors step out of the vehicle and hear its roar echoing through the canyon. Standing at 100 meters tall, with a wide, tiered cascade that narrows gracefully as it ascends, Dynjandi is often hailed as Iceland’s most beautiful waterfall, and rightly so.
A short path leads from the parking area to the base of the falls, passing several smaller waterfalls along the way. Guests are welcome to hike as far as they wish or simply admire the view from below, where the mist dances in the sunlight and seabirds soar overhead.
Surrounded by dramatic fjord scenery, this is a place where time seems to stand still. Whether capturing photos, absorbing the power of nature, or simply breathing in the fresh mountain air, Dynjandi leaves a lasting impression long after the tour concludes.
- Holtsbryggja - Situated along the tranquil shoreline of Önundarfjörður, Holtsbryggja is a small pier and scenic viewpoint nestled in the village of Holt. This serene stop offers a perfect glimpse of rural life in the Westfjords, where mountains meet the sea in peaceful isolation.
From the pier, visitors can enjoy a sweeping view over the fjord and surrounding peaks, often perfectly mirrored in the still waters below. With luck, one might spot seabirds gliding above or locals launching small fishing boats, continuing traditions that span generations. On calm days, the silence is broken only by the gentle lapping of waves and the occasional call of an Arctic tern.
It’s an ideal spot to stretch your legs, breathe in the salty air, and take a quiet moment before heading to Dynjandi. Whether capturing a photo, admiring the remote charm of the region, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Holtsbryggja offers a pause that feels worlds away.
