Your 5-hour Westfjords tour begins with a convenient pickup from Isafjordur Cruise Port. Settle into a comfortable vehicle for a beautiful drive through the region. Enjoy the freedom to travel at your own pace while taking in views of towering mountains and quiet fjords that define this region.
The Westfjords region is one of Iceland’s most remote areas, known for bird cliffs, waterfalls, and stunning fjord scenery. This untouched landscape is perfect for spotting wildlife and experiencing the country’s natural beauty away from the crowds.
The drive leads you through mountain tunnels that connect steep valleys and hidden inlets. As the road opens to bright blue waters and rugged cliffs, you feel the calm energy of the Westfjords. Along the way, keep an eye out for seabirds and Arctic fox, adding wildlife highlights to the trip.
Your first major highlight is the breathtaking Dynjandi Waterfall, often called the jewel of the Westfjords. Follow the scenic trail past smaller falls to the wide, veil-shaped cascade that flows down the mountainside in a series of gentle steps. You can follow the easy path for a closer look or enjoy the sweeping view from the lower level.
As you make your way back, your guide brings you to the peaceful village of Hrafnseyri. It’s the birthplace of Jón Sigurðsson, a key figure in Iceland’s independence. Take a break at a cozy cafe and enjoy fresh coffee and pastries at your own expense.
You can walk around the turf-roof houses, step inside the small church, or visit the museum for a deeper understanding of local history. This cultural moment adds meaning to the natural beauty you experience throughout the tour.
Your guide then brings you to Audkula Farm, a quiet location by the fjord known for its Eider ducks during the nesting season (April to July). The gentle sounds of the birds and the slow movement of the water create a relaxing environment. You may spot the rare King Eider or even see humpback whales in summer.
If conditions allow, you return by the highland pass of Hrafnseyrarheidi or Alftamyrarheidi, where wide views stretch across untouched mountain valleys and remote fjords. If not, you follow the same scenic coastal route back through the tunnels with beautiful vistas all the way to Isafjordur.
After a full day of sightseeing, sit back and enjoy the landscapes as your guide drives you back to Isafjordur. Along the way, capture last-minute photos and soak up the peaceful Westfjords scenery.
