This private Westfjords tour is planned around you: a call with your guide before the day sets the route, so you see quiet fjords, waterfalls and viewpoints without the crowds that gather at the region's best-known stops.
The Westfjords are Iceland's quietest region, but even here a handful of places, especially Dynjandi waterfall, get busy when day tours from Ísafjörður all arrive at once. This tour is built to avoid that: your guide calls you before the day to talk through what you want to see, then plans a route and timing around it and the weather.
Depending on your interests, the day might take in remote fjords such as Dýrafjörður, Arnarfjörður or Önundarfjörður, a stop at Fossfjörður to look for seals, a walk in the Korpudalur valley, or the fishing village of Flateyri. Dynjandi, the Westfjords' best-known waterfall, is usually included but timed to reach it when it is quieter.
It is an easy, private day out with short walks rather than long hikes, so it suits most ages and fitness levels. In summer you may add a stop at Látrabjarg for puffins (roughly May to August), and optional water activities such as paddleboarding or wakeboarding can be arranged at an extra cost.
Weather in the Westfjords changes quickly and roads can be narrow and gravel in places, so your guide adjusts the plan on the day if conditions require it.
No. Your guide calls you before the day to plan the route around your interests, the weather and road conditions, so it can vary.
Usually yes, it is one of the best-known waterfalls in the region, but your guide aims to time the visit to avoid the busiest tour buses.
Yes, there's no minimum age, but young children need a car seat. Walks are short and easy.
You get a full refund if road or weather conditions mean the tour cannot run safely.
We took this as a family (kids 10 and 13) and it was perfect. The pace was relaxed, the views were unforgettable, and the guide was wonderful with the kids, answering all their curious questions. We were also the only people on the tour even though we did not book it as a private tour. We saw seals and seabirds, walked quiet beaches, and had moments where it felt like we were the only people around. Highly recommend for families wanting nature & peace.
Meera P.Un tour meraviglioso! Paesaggi incredibili, mare, montagne, cascate, villaggi isolati. La guida era molto preparata, ci ha raccontato della storia locale, della fauna e delle piante. E la tranquillità… indimenticabile.
Luca B.Absolutely beautiful. We drove along fjords, stopped in fishing villages, saw cascading waterfalls, had the sea breeze and silence—it felt like discovering Iceland for the first time. The guide was calm, friendly, and clearly knew the region well. Highlight of our trip!
Aisha H.This is a tour for travellers who want more than the usual. Remote villages, rugged cliff-sides, hidden waterfalls and few other tourists in sight. The guide tailored the route to what we loved. Landscape, culture, photography. Unforgettable day.
Theo M.We wanted to see parts of Iceland that felt untouched, and this tour delivered exactly that. The Westfjords are incredible—dramatic fjords, quiet roads, and scenery that felt like it was all ours. Our guide was exceptional—very knowledgeable about local wildlife and geology, and made sure we avoided the busy spots. If you want to avoid the crowds, this is it.
Nora S.This was definitely our best day on our cruise!
We booked this tour for our group of 4 and it was a private tour! It was simply amazing to have the guide all to ourselves. He was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. He told us so many stories from the Westfjords and we absolutely loved every part of this tour.
The best thing about the tour was that we were able to explore locations that we did not even know about. When we came back to our cruise we told our fellow cruise passengers from so many places that they did not see on their tours. They are all going to recommend this tour to their friends in the future!
