The capital of the Westfjords of Iceland is Isafjordur. The landscape is majestic, with fjord after fjord towering above shore and sea, but each and every fjord has its own distinctive character. Tiny fishing villages nestle at their foot. On arrival take a stroll through the streets of the town. Note the interestingly decorated ‘front yards’. Visit the Maritime Museum that contains all sorts of nautical and historical displays, and if interested in kayaking there is a kayaking outfitter right next door. Also don’t miss the part of the town known as Neostikaupstaour, which consists of the oldest buildings in Iceland, including four buildings from the 18th century.

Many take the 30-minute each way trip to the island of Vigur, a small island surrounded by looming fjords. The island is also home to a variety of bird species including the amazing arctic tern as well as seals. The single family that lives on the island offers visitors coffee and cakes. The family also runs a little post office. Just south of Ísafjordur is Dynjandi. It´s about an hour and a half drive south but it´s worth the drive, because of the amazing waterfall placed at the back of a beautiful fjord that is like heaven on earth.

The West Fjords are an ideal place for hikers and all nature lovers, in summer and winter alike. But for all the grandeur and variety of the landscape, perhaps the most enchanting attraction is the peace and quiet and endless calm that make the West Fjords, a world you’ll want to escape to forever. If time permits, get over to the deserted northern peninsula. The wilderness and seeing foxes, seals, and ducks is stunning. It's so interesting to be in a place with NO trees, and still see lots of driftwood - from Siberia.
