About Dýrafjörður
Dýrafjörður combines dramatic Westfjords scenery with an unusually rich collection of historical and cultural attractions. Þingeyri sits on the southern shore, while Hrafnseyri, Haukadalur, Sandafell and the remote Svalvogar peninsula make the wider fjord worth exploring slowly.
Our practical tips
✓Þingeyri makes a useful base for exploring the fjord.
✓Allow time for Hrafnseyri and the smaller historical attractions rather than simply driving through.
