This tour is designed specifically to experience the 2026 solar eclipse from one of the most dramatic viewpoints in the Westfjords. Rather than simply watching from town, we travel high above the fjords to Bolafjall, where the open horizon over the Arctic Ocean creates an unforgettable setting as the sky darkens during the eclipse. Guests enjoy light catering while watching this rare celestial event from a remote cliffside viewpoint, followed by a visit to the historic Ósvör maritime outpost on the return to Ísafjörður.

What are people saying about Isafjordur

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.

Dynjandi Waterfall and the Oldest Bookstore of Iceland

Jacques_v, Aug 2026

Comfortable and...

Comfortable and informative, thanks to the excellent guide. The explanations and background information appeared to be highly valuable and made the tour extra attractive! As Marine Biologist, he was able to explain many more aspects of the country, nature and their influence on society.

Isafjordur Port: Small Group Dynjandi Waterfall & Farm Visit Tour

Jane_G, Aug 2026

Outstanding 5 star

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.

Small Group Tour Ísafjordur Dynjandi Waterfall & Secret Stop

Theresa_F, Aug 2026

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.

4 Hour Isafjordur and Dynjandi Tour With Photo Stops

Lynn_S, Aug 2026

Visited early August....

Visited early August. This was a great tour. Saw Dynjandi and Hotlsbryggja, plus stopped for 30 minutes in a small town (Flateyri) with Iceland's oldest bookstore. You can walk up to the base of the falls. It's uneven footing so be careful! There are another 2-3 smaller falls coming down the mountainside below the larger falls. Our guide, I'm sorry, I didn't get your name, did a great job telling us all about the area. Highly recommend.

3,5-Hour Sightseeing Tour To Dynjandi Waterfall

Wonderful Westfjords!

A special thank you to our guide Annalise** and our driver Andreas. They were informative, professional, and made our visit even better. Everything was well organized, and we felt we were in great hands throughout the tour.

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!

Self-Guided Tour of Ísafjörður: Art, History, and Architecture

Nathan_F, Aug 2026

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.

Dynjandi and more Shore Tour from Ísafjörður port cruise guests

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.
