Dynjandi Waterfall, Fjords & Villages

The Dynjandi waterfall from Isafjordur tour starts with a scenic drive through the Dyrafjordur tunnel, exiting at Dynjandisvogur creek in Arnarfjordur—named after the breathtaking series of seven Dynjandi waterfalls. Fed by the Eyjavatn lake, Dynjandi offers great photography and hiking opportunities, with an hour to explore the falls and surrounding views.

Arnarfjordur is one of Iceland’s longest fjords and famous for sea monster folklore—the Bildudalur museum showcases this local legend. The tour continues to historic Hrafnseyri, birthplace of Jon Sigurdsson, leader of Iceland’s independence movement. Thingeyri, in Dyrafjordur, is one of the oldest Westfjords settlements and site of the Viking “thing” assembly.

You’ll also see Haukadalur farmstead from The Saga of Gisli, enjoy stops at dramatic Westfjords Alps viewpoints, and visit the dune-rich golden beaches of Onundarfjordur, an eider duck nesting site. There’s an option to detour to Flateyri village and Kaffi Sol for local snacks. For small groups, a 4X4 can take you to Sandafell mountain for panoramic views.

With extra time, you can visit Skrudur Garden—one of Iceland’s oldest, with a blue whale jawbone gate—or add detours to Sugandafjordur fjord and the once-remote village of Sudureyri.

It is also possible to add extra time to your Dynjandi waterfall from Isafjordur tour to make other stops.
