Shore Excursions and Short Walks in small groups! My most popular Walk is Ísafjördur Walk (2 hr): Our guide, dressed as a woman from the 19th century, takes you on a walk through the city and up to the slopes above Ísafjörður. On the way you will visit interesting places and receive information on history and culture and hear a lot of stories about elves, trolls and other beings. Other Walks into the nature: Plants (3 hr), Geology (3 hr) and Nature Walk to a beautiful waterfall (5 hr). Culinary experiences as Please Taste (3,5 hr) and Culinary Explorations (2 hr). Private Tours in the environment.

Our micro brewery is a small family business founded in Isafjorður in Octorber 2017 merely for the purpose to make local craft beer and the Westfjords really needed one. Then our first beer was made in the early summer of 2018. The brewery is located at Sindragata 11 but that’s were all of our products are made.

Hversdagssafn - Museum of Everyday Life

*We happily open our door for groups and enthusiasts all year round outside opening hours. Please leave us message us on FB * Hversdagssafn - museum of everyday life has the main purpose of investigating the mundane and the common, finding the poetry that comes forward when no one is looking. It’s a collection of local voices, memories and story fragments - nostalgic, humorous and thought provoking - curated in various interactive ways. It’s local, as it gives a glimpse to people’s life in the Westfjords, and it’s universal since it touches on the things we all share. Everyday life is a little like dark matter, what happens in between significant moments in life and holds everything together. It’s meeting friends, having dinner, yelling at children, being yelled at, sulking. It’s walking between places, going to work, staying home, worrying, washing up, cutting vegetables. It’s both random and routine. Once you stop and look at it, the beauty of the mundane is revealed.

This building is itself an amazing piece of history. Make sure you visit the top floor! With a section on local fishing, accordion culture in Isafjordur, local plants, boat building tools and even an old dive suit this place is a little gem in a beautiful town of the Westfjords.
