Great scenery, off the beaten track, thoughtful guide. Highly recommended - and much cheaper than the cruise line tours. - From start to finish, this five-hour tour with Sonja at Arctic Shorex was a great experience and much cheaper than the cruise line excursions. The minibus was comfortable and met... read more us at the Isafjordur port. Sonja was friendly and helpful throughout the day.
As a disabled passenger, I was especially grateful for the care and consideration Sonja showed throughout. She went above and beyond to ensure my safety and comfort, making every effort to help me enjoy the experience without stress.
The Dynjandi waterfall had an accessible viewing point at the base, which meant I could take it all in without needing to attempt the more challenging upper path (which others said was worth it, but definitely requires sturdy footwear and some physical stamina due to the slippiness of the rocks ). The toilets at the waterfall site had huge queues because the site was packed with big coaches - not our guide’s fault and she did warn us. The local authorities need to quadruple (at least) the number of toilets at the site as everyone was frustrated and complaining about this.
On the way back, we visited a peaceful and historically rich farmstead for our lunch stop. This had some charming turf-roof houses and a selection of cakes which gave a taste of local heritage and hospitality. It was also down a dirt track road which gave an insight into its remoteness and had the huge advantage of being well away from the massive coaches of tourists. We were the only people there and that was a real treat.
We also made some other stops during the day for photos. The way back was scenic. Sonja’s knowledge of the area — from folklore to geology — really brought the landscape to life.
I can’t recommend this tour highly enough, especially if you want a personal, thoughtful, and visually spectacular introduction to the Westfjords.nicdigby

Juli 21, 2025Wow. Not to be missed - Our tour with Sonja in a 4x4 mini bus was amazing. Great tour guide giving us a vast amount of information. Waterfall, farm and multiple stops along the way.... read more Stunning views and landscapes. Lots of time for photos and exploring, happy to answer questions and took photos for us all. Highly recommend we picked up this tour at the cruise port and definitely better than a big tour offered from the cruise ship
