Why visit Dynjandi Waterfall in the Westfjords?
Dynjandi is considered one of Iceland’s most beautiful waterfalls and remains far less crowded than many waterfalls in South Iceland.
Most visitors never reach the remote Westfjords, making this region one of Iceland’s lesser-visited destinations and creating a more peaceful experience.
The scenic drive itself becomes part of the adventure as you travel through coastal roads and mountain tunnels surrounded by dramatic landscapes.
What makes Isafjordur to Dynjandi Waterfall such a unique journey?
Dynjandi rises approximately 100 meters and is the tallest waterfall in the Westfjords, cascading down multiple layers into a spectacular fan-shaped formation.
Along the way, visit the charming Gemlufall farm, meet Icelandic horses and enjoy coffee or tea with a slice of traditional Icelandic Happy Marriage Cake.

Itinerary
Meeting pointCruise ship dock in ÍsafjörðurThe meeting point for this tour is the cruise ship dock in Ísafjörður. Ísafjörður is becoming increasingly more popular as a cruise ship port of call. Once everyone is onboard, we head out of town and take the mountain tunnel of Vestfjarðagöng. On emerging from the tunnel on the other side of the mountain, we venture onwards through a series of small villages, stunning fjords and sheer faced mountains, before we reach Dynjandi.
1 Dynjandi WaterfallNestled at the innermost point of the Arnar Fjörð, the surrounding area around the Dynjandi waterfall is quite breathtaking, even before we take Dynjandi into consideration.
From the parking area, it is a leisurely 15 walk over the trails towards the falls, which dominate the landscape here. You will pass several smaller falls along the way towards the main attraction. Even if you don´t make it all the way to the falls, the view from afar is still mesmeric.
The word dynjandi in Icelandic means thunderous, pouring or resounding. One can see at once why the falls here were named so, as several smaller waterfalls merge here to form the larger Dynjandi falls.
It has a distinctive appearance, a narrow 30 meters wide at the top and tapers to its full length of 60 meters at the bottom. It therefore, when viewed from afar, somewhat resembles a white bridal veil. Up close, one can´t help but be impressed by the scale of this magnificent series of waterfalls.
2 Gemlufell Traditional Icelandic FarmAfter the jaw-dropping sites at Dynjandi, we make our way back towards Ísafjörður, but not before one extra stop. We visit the charming Gemlufell Farm, a typical Icelandic working farm situated in idyllic surroundings on the coastline of Dýrar fjord. Daily life in this remote homestead is so peaceful, and you can take in these surroundings while enjoying complimentary tea, coffee and a traditional Icelandic cake called Hjónabandssæla. This oat and rhubarb jam cake loosely translates as Happy Marriage cake!
In summertime, you even get a chance to meet the Icelandic horses up close. These gentle animals are a unique breed and you will learn about it during the visit.
