4Dynjandi waterfallIceland's best-known Westfjords waterfall, in six tiered cascades.

Dynjandi is the largest waterfall in the Westfjords. Rather than one narrow drop, it spreads out like a bridal veil as it falls about 100 metres down the mountainside above Arnarfjörður, about 30 metres wide at the top and 60 at the base. Six smaller named waterfalls step down the slope below it, so the walk up passes seven in all.

About the Dynjandi waterfall super jeep tour

Dynjandi is the best-known waterfall in the Westfjords, a series of cascades that widen as they fall until the water fans out like a bridal veil. It sits well outside Ísafjörður on roads that are not always practical in a normal car, so a super jeep with a local guide is the easiest way to see it without driving yourself.

The drive itself is part of the tour. You go through quiet Westfjords scenery, past farmland and along the fjord, with your guide stopping for photos and pointing out what you are looking at. At Dynjandi you get a full hour to walk up alongside the falls and take it in properly.

The Westfjords see far fewer visitors than the south or the Golden Circle, so the roads and the waterfall itself are usually quiet. Weather here can change quickly and some mountain roads close in winter, so your guide chooses the route on the day.
