What To Expect
Isafjordur
Surrounded by towering mountains and tucked into a scenic fjord, Ísafjörður is the cultural and historic heart of the Westfjords. This charming fishing town dates back centuries and features some of Iceland’s oldest timber houses, remnants of its days as a Danish trading post. A short stroll reveals cozy cafés, local boutiques, and the harbor area, where you might visit the Westfjords Heritage Museum to learn about life in this remote region. With its blend of history, culture, and stunning natural beauty, Ísafjörður offers a perfect introduction to the wild and welcoming Westfjords.
Bolungarvik
Just a short drive from Ísafjörður through a scenic mountain tunnel lies Bolungarvík, one of Iceland’s northernmost fishing villages. Here, we visit the Ósvör Maritime Museum, a full-scale replica of a 19th-century fishing outpost. With turf-roofed huts, drying racks, and traditional rowboats, this open-air museum offers a vivid glimpse into the harsh but resilient life of early Icelandic fishermen. The ocean views and coastal cliffs add a dramatic backdrop to this step back in time.

The pot of gold under our double rainbow tour to Isafjordur and Westfjords

5.00We took the Isafjordur and Westfjords Private Day Tour with Valkyrie Tours. Our guide Steffan. was thoughtful with his planning for my family, which included our two teenage children and my parents. Born and raised in Iceland, Steffan was personable and knowledgeable. His bus was roomy, allowing private tours big & small. He carefully curated the perfect day, taking us to Dynjandi Falls, where he personally helped my mom, who is nursing a knee injury, up and down the falls. He was patient, allowing us enough time to visit at our leisure. He took us to all of the Instagram worthy spots, shared some local delicacies, and took us to some of the smaller villages, which we always appreciate. Steffan is so good at his job, that he ended our tour at the top of Bolajfall Mountain, under a double rainbow. Would highly recommend Valkyrie Tours
Perfect Day Trip in Isafjordur!

5.00We walked off our ship and Stephan picked us up for a private tour. The highlights included visiting a gorgeous waterfall, taking a dip in a natural hot spring, exploring a quaint fishing village, and ending with a close up visit with 4 seals on a sandy beach! A truly memorable day! Thank you Valkyrie Tours.
