The Best of Isafjordur

Relax and admire the views of majestic mountains and serene fjords during a panoramic drive. Along the way, your guide will share stories about local life through the ages.

At the old Icelandic settlement of Ósvör – now an open-air museum – a skin-suited fisherman will extend a warm welcome and show you around the 19th-century fishing base. Take a look at the salt and drying huts and the various tools from days gone by.

Call at the village of Bolungarvík for an Icelandic music recital in the pretty Hólskirkja church, then head to the handsome waterfall in nearby Tunguskógur. The town gets its drinking water from this pure source so don’t be shy – try a sip!

Back in Ísafjörður, visit the Westfjords Heritage Museum. Here, in one of Iceland’s oldest houses, you’ll gain an insight into the local maritime industry and you’ll have the chance to taste delicious traditional schnapps and dried fish.
