Start · the harbour
The cultural heart of the Westfjords, with some of Iceland's oldest timber houses from its days as a Danish trading post.
Valkyrie Tours was founded by Jake Lampe, an American guide who has spent years leading tours all over Iceland before starting his own company to do it his way: real, personal and actually fun. No big buses and no rushing from one crowded stop to the next – just small groups, honest stories and time to take it all in.
“A day that doesn't feel like a checklist.”

“I highly recommend this tour. Cass, my guide was incredibly knowledgeable offering insights on the ecology of the region as well as local life in the west fjords. The e-bike makes traversing the hills so easy and we saw waterfalls, local wildlife and beautiful scenery. I can’t think of a better way to spend your day here.”

“This was a great small group tour. We got to the waterfall before the buses so it wasn’t too crowded. Our tour guide Flo was full of interesting information about the area. He also took our picture when we got to the top. Highly recommend this tour!”
