Curated by Condé Nast Traveler with Oceania Cruises | Featured Editor’s Tip: During your call on Isafjordur, Iceland, visit Önundarfjörður Pier on the way to Dynjandi. It’s one of those natural landmarks everyone should see when they’re in the area. Local lore tells a story of supernatural beings living in each of the falls (there are seven total) and it’s easy to believe once you set eyes on the hypnotizing free fall—the largest in the Westfjords. Located 50 minutes south of Ísafjörður, there’s one pit stop you’ll must make on your way to the waterfall: the white sand beach at Önundarfjörður Pier. Iceland may be known for its swaths of black sand, but this nook looks like it belongs in a much warmer climate. More often than not, you’ll have the pier and surrounding beach to yourself, offering a rare opportunity to gaze at the mountains and bay without any distractions. When you arrive at Dynjandi, make the most of the multiple viewing platforms (it’s a 30-minute journey from the parking lot to the top at a stroller’s pace) and be sure to wear a water-resistant layer if it’s windy; more often than not, a fine mist will find its way to you.
