Welcome to the Westfjords of Iceland! This area is much less visited, as it is away from the ring road. Ísafjörður is the largest settlement in the West Fjords, one of the few areas with enough of a population to be a recognized town.
We will start with pickup at the Ísafjörður Cruise Port before beginning our adventure. In town we will walk along the harbor and visit the Old Town area in Ísafjörður , to see some of the historical buildings and statues around town. The Dynjandi Waterfall is known as the jewel of the Westfjords, make sure your camera is ready to capture its beauty. Naustahvilft- aka “Troll Seat” is part of a flat top mountain, and the dent is where the legend says the troll sat. Trolls are a big part of Iceland mythology. Its a short but steep viewpoint for those feeling adventurous. If time or in the event one of our main stops is closed, we may stop at one of two botanical gardens. Simsons Botanical Garden is also a sculpture garden of Martinus Simson-a danish artist. Or we might visit Jonsgardur Botanical Garden. Please note this stop is not guaranteed.
If there is a change in weather during the tour, stops may be modified to keep the tour participants safe and comfortable.
Our tour duration is 6-7 hours before we will return you to the port.
