It was mined from the mine in the years of 1917 until 1921 or while and after the first World War. To get into the mine you almost have to crawl, but once you're in the ceiling gets higher and you can stand upright. Scenic walk up to the mine takes around 25 min on a marked trail.

What are people saying about Isafjordur

4 Hour Isafjordur and Dynjandi Tour With Photo Stops

SueMalecki, Aug 2026

Beautiful Scenic Westfjords

We enjoyed a gorgeous day exploring the scenic Westfjords with Jake from Valkyrie Tours. Booking this excursion online prior to our cruise was easy and communication regarding pick up at the cruise port in Isafjordur was excellent. Jake provided an interesting and informative commentary of the sites we visited, which included the Holtsbryggja pier with its white sand beaches, the beautiful Dynjandi waterfall, and a lunch stop in the small fishing village of Flateyri where we enjoyed freshly made bagel sandwiches from Bryggjukaffi, and a browse through Iceland's oldest bookstore! We did experience some unfortunate mechanical issues with our mini bus after our first stop, but Jake was able to quickly arrange for our group to join another bus passing by who was also doing the same tour! A big thank you to both Jake and Magic Iceland Travel for saving the day!

3,5-Hour Sightseeing Tour To Dynjandi Waterfall

Anthony_V, Aug 2026

We traveled to the falls...

We traveled to the falls (1 hr each way) from the cruise port. The guide gave narration on the scenery and tunnels along the way. There was more than enough time to see the waterfall. I would highly recommend this tour especially for a cruise port stop.

Vigur Island Tour with Return Boat Transfer from Ísafjörður

Cindy_R, Aug 2026

A Wonderful Excursion

The boat ride to the island and back was pleasant and very scenic. I learned some very interesting information about the area from one of the staff onboard. The island was beautiful with gorgeous views. We saw some wildlife, though not up close. Admittedly, we weren't there during peak puffin season. The island resident couple was wonderful--very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the refreshments and the small souvenir store. All in all, a wonderful excursion. Highly recommended.

Waterfalls and a beach!

This was a great experience. Our driver picked us up right at the cruise ship terminal and whisked us away to the Dynjandi waterfall. We had an hour and a half to spend there which was ample time to climb to the top and enjoy the falls. Our secret stop was a white sand beach, rare for Iceland as most of their beaches are black sand.

Marco was our guide and he was so knowledgeable about not only what we were seeing but about Iceland’s culture, history, geology and more. Highly recommend. We did the small group and it was so pleasant in a smaller vehicle. Will prepare Happy Marriage Cake upon my return.

Dynjandi Waterfall & Westfjords Farm Tour from Ísafjörður

Katherine_B, Aug 2026

Great tour for the family

Great tour! The stop at the waterfall is great. It is a good hike up the side to get to the top of the view points. There are stops along the way as well. The farm stop was unexpected but fun nonetheless. They let their 12 year old son lead the farm tour. It was hilarious. Not really what you would think of when you think of a farm but it entertaining to say the least. Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Tom was the best.

Westfjords Whale Watching

Alexandra_G, Aug 2026

Some of the best whale watching ever

What an incredible experience! Encounters of a lifetime, for sure. We had three humpback whales mere feet from us as they approached and then swam under the boat. Also two humpbacks smacking their pectoral fins on the surface of the water, which was amazing to see. I also had an unexpected puffin sighting of one that came up out of the water and was startled by the boat so it zoomed away on the surface of the water like a wind-up toy. So amazing!

Perfect way to see the town; no issues with the app.

This audio tour was an absolutely PERFECT guide to Isafjordur! The length was great, with just the right distance and amount of detail. It hit the tourist highlights and gave a glimpse into life in the little sub arctic town. Highly recommended. The app worked perfectly for us; just make sure you download it and the map beforehand.

Dynjandi Waterfall in a Supertruck

Ian_M, Aug 2026

Great Tour of Dynjandi and West Fjords!

I booked this tour with my girlfriend during our stay in Ísafjörður, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland. Gummi was an outstanding guide. He was born and raised in Ísafjörður, so his knowledge of the area, its history, and local culture added to the experience. His expertise driving the Super Jeep on the rugged roads made us feel safe while still being on an exciting adventure. Dynjandi was great. It was a busy day with lots of tourists, but Gummi timed our visit so we got there ahead of most of the crowds on the hike up, which made a big difference. We also stopped at Hrafnseyri, where we were lucky enough to watch whales while enjoying a coffee. That was such an unexpected bonus! The real highlight, though, was the drive to the top of Sandafell. The views were breathtaking and it felt like we were standing at the edge of the world. The Super Jeep gives you access to parts of the Westfjords that most visitors never get to experience because the large coach buses aren’t equipped for those roads. Another thing we appreciated was the small group. With a maximum of 12 people, the tour feels personal, unlike the crowded buses carrying 40 to 50 passengers. Gummi shared local stories throughout the day, had a great sense of humor, and made everyone feel welcome If you’re visiting Ísafjörður, we can’t recommend this tour enough. It’s worth every penny and offers an experience you can’t get on a standard bus tour.

LauryL_D, Aug 2026

Great day

Fun way to see Iceland. We traveled through a 7 km tunnel—amazing engineering. The waterfall was lovely ( though crowded). I loved seeing how the fishermen dressed and lived 100+ years ago. And the drive to the overlook at the top of the mountain was amazing. The walkway extended over the chasm with great views.
