Ísafjörður Cruises
Ísafjörður has been one of Iceland’s busiest and most important fishing and trading centres for over 250 years. Perched on the peninsular of the Westfjords, it’s beautifully isolated and is set against a backdrop of steep mountains and an arcing spit that extends out into the deep Skutulsfjörður.
Top Experiences
Vigur Island
Often referred to as the Paradise Island, Vigur is a beautiful island situated approximately 30 minutes from Ísafjörður. The island is renowned for its bird watching opportunities, and is home to puffins, Arctic terns, eider ducks, black guillemots and other species. Vigur also boasts the only windmill in Iceland and the smallest post office in Europe.
Dynjandi Waterfall
Dynjandi is considered one of Iceland’s most spectacular waterfalls. Located in the remote Westfjords, Dynjandi is actually a series of seven waterfalls, with a cumulative height of 100 metres (328 feet). A walk of approximately 30 minutes is worth it to reach the base of the main waterfall – Dynjandi, meaning ‘thunderous’.
Hornstrandir
Located in the Westfjords, the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is one of the remotest places in this area of Iceland. Established in 1975, the reserve is home to imposing sea cliffs, mountains and waterfalls. Within the nature, reserve lies Hesteyri, an old fishing village, which was abandoned in the late 1940's. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, Hesteyri is home to traditional wooden houses and an old doctor’s house, which was built in 1901.
