YouTube Video Description

No tours planned for Isafjorder, Iceland? We got you covered! This was our latest port of call with Holland America cruises during our Iceland and Norway voyage. In this cruise port guide, we’ll explore the possibilities of staying in this charming town in the Northwest Westfjords of Iceland. It’s the gateway to Dynjandi Waterfall and Vigur Island, among others, but staying in town has its own interests, especially biking, hiking, and exploring the town, with its Rainbow Path town square and Hornstrandir Visitor Center. See why this place can be a destination in itself. Here’s the Lowdown!

We found that many videos lack the details we needed, such as parking, restrooms, available services, and even sidewalk quality. We act as your “port scout”, providing first-hand reports on essential information that others overlook; our videos cover port terminals, independent excursions, goods, services, transportation and even ship tours. With time ticking away during your port visit, we understand the importance of sound planning to make every moment count. Let us give you the Lowdown!
