Ísafjörður shore excursions

Ísafjörður is the largest town in the Westfjords, a remote corner of Iceland with steep flat-topped mountains, deep fjords and very few people. Ships dock or tender into the small harbour on a sand spit in the middle of the fjord, right next to the old town. A day here is all about wild nature: the Dynjandi waterfall, quiet fishing villages, birdlife and the sea.
