The Westfjords is an off-the-beaten-track destination known for its dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife. Few travelers visit this hidden corner of Iceland. It’s not lacking attractions or beauty, but it’s away from the Ring Road, the main driving route circling the country.
You’ll start in Isafjordur, the region’s largest settlement. Isafjordur is a vibrant town rich in culture and history. Your guide will take you on a walk along the charming harbor before visiting the old town to see its historic buildings.
Then, your guide will drive you around the region to discover its enchanting sights. The Dynjandi waterfall is a highlight. Iceland has numerous beautiful waterfalls, but this is one of its most captivating.
You can take a scenic walk past several smaller cascades for a close-up look at Dynjandi or admire it from afar. This waterfall is called the Jewel of the Westfjords and resembles a bridal veil flowing down the rocky hillside.
The Latrabjarg sea cliffs are another of the region’s top sites, home to a diverse seabird population. See if you can spot some of them while enjoying the spectacular vistas along this impressive stretch of coastline. It boasts the longest sea cliffs in Iceland, extending 8.7 miles (14 kilometers) long and reaching 1447 feet (441 meters) high.
Your guide will also take you to Raudisandur red sand beach. This secluded coastline features sand in shades of red and yellow amid stunning surroundings. Its colors make it unique because most of Iceland’s beaches have black sand.
You may also be able to visit one of two botanical gardens if conditions are unsuitable to see one of the major sights or if there is time left at the end of the tour.
Throughout the day, your guide will share fascinating insights and intriguing stories about the attractions you visit. You can ask as many questions as you like and enjoy a personalized experience you’ll remember for years.
Your guide will drop you back at the port after 6-7 hours of exploring the best places in the Westfjords.
