From Ísafjörður Port: Private Ísafjörður Tour

Discover a quieter corner of Iceland, where mountain scenery, waterfalls, and local stories shape the journey. Away from the Ring Road, the Westfjords offer a chance to explore a region that many visitors never reach.

This 6–7-hour tour begins at Ísafjörður Cruise Port and brings together the town’s historic streets, the beauty of Dynjandi waterfall, and the folklore surrounding Naustahvilft. Travel with a knowledgeable guide and enjoy time to explore, take photographs, and get to know the Westfjords.

Your Adventure Begins in Ísafjörður

Meet your guide at Ísafjörður Cruise Port and set out to discover the largest town in the Westfjords.

Walk along the harbour and through the Old Town, where historic buildings and local statues offer glimpses into the community’s past. Your guide will share stories that connect the town to the surrounding region.

Dynjandi: The Jewel of the Westfjords

Continue to Dynjandi, a waterfall that makes a memorable impression against its mountain backdrop.

Take in the broad cascade and watch the water spread across the rock as it falls. Pause to enjoy the sound, appreciate the scenery, and capture photographs of one of the Westfjords’ best-known sights.

Naustahvilft: A Seat for a Troll

Discover the story behind Naustahvilft, the mountain hollow known as the “Troll Seat.”

According to local legend, the distinctive dent marks the place where a troll once sat. Hear how stories like this have helped people make sense of Iceland’s unusual landscapes.

For those who feel like a challenge, a short but steep walk leads towards the viewpoint. The climb offers an opportunity to stretch your legs and see the surroundings from a different perspective.

Room for More Discovery

If time allows, or if a main stop is inaccessible, your guide may introduce you to another local attraction.

Possible stops include Simsons or Jónsgarður botanical gardens, where plants and sculptures share the setting, or Búnárfoss or Valgi waterfall. You may also visit the Wheel Sculpture, a tribute to the area’s fishing heritage.

These visits depend on the day’s timing and access, adding flexibility to your Westfjords experience.

A Journey Shaped by the Conditions

Weather can change quickly in the Westfjords. Your guide may adjust the stops during the tour to keep everyone safe and comfortable while making the most of the day.

Return to the Harbour

After approximately 6–7 hours of exploring, return to Ísafjörður Cruise Port.

Take with you memories of historic harbour streets, falling water, and a mountain landscape filled with stories.
