It runs along the Norwegian-Swedish border from the Singlefjord ({{langx|en|Single Fjord}}).<ref name="UN">''A Brief Geographical and Hydro Graphical Study of Bays and Estuaries the Coasts of which Belong to Different States''. 2009.

It opens to the Skagerrak via the Svinesund and Hvaler archipelago (a cluster of classic skerries). The outermost stretch is called the Ringdalsfjord ({{langx|en|Ringdals Fjord}}),<ref name="UN"/><ref>Hyde, Robert. 1979. The Sparks Flew in Sweden.

Like several other fjords, it was named after a part of its coast, in this case the parish of Idd.
