The sound of rushing water and the pristine surroundings make this a truly immersive experience. A favourite among photographers and nature lovers alike, Dynjandi is a highlight of the Westfjords and an unforgettable encounter with Iceland’s raw and untamed landscape
Day at sea
One of the world's most remote towns and the most isolated community in Greenland, Ittoqqortoormiit is largely inaccessible by ship for nine months of the year. Founded in 1925 by Danish explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen and Inuit settlers, it is home to 450 residents who mostly rely on hunting and fishing. The community preserves Greenlandic traditions, from harvesting qiviut–the prized muskox underfur–to maintaining sled dogs and wearing national dress
Activities:
Ittoqqortoormiit community visit - 3 hours
A visit to Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland, offers a rare glimpse into one of the world's most remote and unique communities. The town's open layout, surrounded by breathtaking Arctic scenery, invites exploration and discovery. At the heart of the experience is a visit to the local museum, where visitors can immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of East Greenland. The museum provides a window into the traditions and resilience of the people who call this challenging environment home.
As you wander through the town, you'll be struck by the harmony between the community and its stunning natural surroundings. The peaceful atmosphere and friendly locals make it a memorable stop on any Arctic adventure. Whether you're admiring the architecture, soaking in the tranquil beauty, or learning about the region's heritage, Ittoqqortoormiit leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.
The world’s largest fjord system, Scoresbysund spans over 350 km into Greenland’s heart. This vast network of fjords, glaciers and icebergs is framed by towering basalt mountains, which shield Greenland’s wildlife from Arctic winds. Muskoxen, Arctic foxes and mountain hares roam the land, while little auks, puffins, fulmars, snowy owls, gyrfalcons and great black-backed gulls soar overhead. Seals and whales are common sightings in the waters
Kong Oscar Fjord marks the northern edge of Scoresbysund and leads to Northeast Greenland National Park, the world’s largest national park. Its vast valleys open to the sea, framed by towering mountains, deep waters and shimmering ice. This dramatic, hostile yet beautiful landscape features Berzelius Bjerg, a striking mountain with colourful strata, formed millions of years ago when these peaks lay beneath the ocean
Surrounded by fjords in the Westfjords region, Ísafjörður is a bustling fishing town and cultural centre in northwest Iceland with cafés, restaurants and museums. The Heritage Museum, also known as the Maritime Museum, houses some of the country's oldest buildings and explores the region's fishing heritage through compelling exhibits. Nearby, Osvor is a replica of a 19th-century Icelandic fishing station
Activities:
Flowers & Fjords - 3 hours
The Flowers & Fjords tour takes you on an adventurous journey through a mountain tunnel and across the Westfjords mountains to the fjords of Dýrafjörður and Önundarfjörður. Enjoy breath taking views of spectacular landscape carved out by glaciers ages ago.
Flateyri village and its surrounding area boasts of many singular experiences. Join us on a tour to this quiet place where the country’s first botanical garden was created.
The view during the drive to our destination features narrow, steep passes and deep, sheltered fjords where farms and villages huddle on a narrow strip of land, bearing witness to the pioneering spirit of man.
The first stop on our journey is Skrúður, Iceland’s first botanical garden founded in 1905. It was the realisation of a dream that the minister and principal at the school at Núpur had. The garden was to be used to teach the students botany, introduce them to a more vegetable-rich diet and examine which plants were able to grow in the sub-Arctic climate of the Westfjords.
From Núpur we’ll continue to the village of Flateyri. The village is located on a gravel spit that was formed around shark fishing the middle of the 19th century. Here we will visit the local church to enjoy a musical performance. From the church the guide will take us on a leisurely stroll down the small main street of the village with a visit to a coffee-shop where we enjoy refreshments made locally. Next door to the café you can visit the old bookstore or enjoy the view by the harbour.
