Hornvik day hike
A bucket list tour to the Hornbjarg bird cliffs in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve!
• The spectacular Dynjandi waterfall, a majestic icon of the Westfjords
• Fjord landscape of Arnarfjordur, Dyrafjordur, Onundarfjordur, and Skutulsfjordur
The highlight of the Dynjandi Express private tour from Ísafjorður is the majestic beauty of Dynjandi waterfall, one of Iceland’s prettiest waterfalls and an icon of the Westfjords.
Along the way to Dynjandi we travel past some of the most beautiful fjords and charming fishing towns in Iceland. Geologically considered to be the oldest part of Iceland, Onundarfjordur has a unique golden beach and dune system that are a protected eider duck nesting site. Dyrafjordur is rich in flora, fauna, history and geological marvels and home to the highest mountains of the Westfjords.
We take the new tunnel at the bottom of Dyrafjordur. Before the opening of the tunnel in autumn 2020, the only connection between the Northern and Southern Westfjords was a treacherous mountain pass only accessible during the summer.
Dynjandi is at the bottom of the Dynjandisvogur creek in Arnarfjorður, one of the longest fjords in Iceland at 30km long. Actually a series of seven waterfalls falling like a bridal veil from the edge of a cliff, Dynjandi will take your breath away. The river originates from the Eyjavatn Lake in the Glama moors, which was considered to be a glacier until the late 19th century.
We stop for an hour so you can enjoy the waterfall and scenic landscape. It is possible to take the short hike for a closer look at the top tier and spectacular views of the fjord and surrounding mountains.
Please note that this tour has a minimum of 4 persons. If we do not reach the minimum, we will inform you a week before the departure date.
