Dynjandi Express – Big Bus

The highlight of the Dynjandi express group tour from Isafjordur is (unsurprisingly) the majestic Dynjandi waterfall, one of Iceland’s prettiest waterfalls and a true icon of the Westfjords region.

Along the way to Dynjandi we travel through some of the most beautiful fjords in Iceland, with views of fishing villages and raw nature. Geologically considered to be the oldest part of Iceland, Onundarfjordur has a unique golden beach and dune system that are a protected eider duck nesting site. Dyrafjordur is rich in flora, fauna, history and geological marvels, including being home to the tallest mountains in the Westfjords.

We take a new-but-storied tunnel from the bottom of Dyrafjordur. Before the opening of the tunnel in autumn 2020, the only connection between the northern and southern Westfjords was a treacherous mountain pass only accessible in the summer.

Dynjandi est située au fond de la baie de Dynjandisvogur, dans le fjord d’Arnarfjordur, l’un des plus long en Islande avec une longueur de plus de 30 km.

A series of seven waterfalls with the appearance of a bridal veil cascade from the edge of a cliff. Dynjandi will take your breath away.

The river originates from the Eyjavatn Lake in the Glama moors, which were considered to be a glacier until the late 19th century.

We stop for an hour so you can enjoy the waterfall and scenic landscape. It is possible to take a short hike for a closer look at the top tier and spectacular views of the fjord and surrounding mountains, though those who do not wish to hike can easily appreciate the spectacle from lower ground.
