About us and our goals
When designing our walks, hikes, and private tours, we always have you, the visitor, in mind: travellers who want to explore Ísafjörður and its surroundings while enjoying something truly special.
Our goal is to make every walk, hike, and tour an enjoyable and memorable experience, and we hope you will enjoy them as much as we do. On our private tours into the surrounding area of Ísafjörður, we share with you the places that continue to fascinate us.
Touristguides, we work with are all experienced professionals who enjoy their work as much and we do.
We would be happy to create a personalized tour tailored to your interests.
Our Environmental and Sustainability Goals
We are committed to sustainability and strive to ensure that nature can be enjoyed without being harmed, so that future generations can continue to experience this unique environment.
For this reason, we plan our walks and tours in a way that minimizes our impact on nature. Any herbs we collect are carefully chosen and are certainly not among endangered plant species.
We always respect the natural environment and encourage our guests to do the same.
Helga Ingeborg Hausner -
Tourist Guide for the Westfjords.
My other professions are: social worker and dipl. educator, primary school teacher, educational counselor, and author.
I am a certified touristguide and tour operator based in the small and beautiful town Isafjördur in Westfjords of Iceland, and I also hold a passenger transport license.
I am German and have been living in Iceland since 1997. My small day-tour company is based in the picturesque town of Ísafjörður in the Icelandic Westfjords.
I founded my company in 2011 and have developed it into what it is today: a business specializing in small groups and personalized guiding, combining high quality with great flexibility.
Since 2023, my son Tobias has also been part of the company, although so far only during the summer season. It is a great advantage for me to have an excellent guide in the family who shares the same enthusiasm and passion for introducing our guests to our adopted home.
I have a deep interest in understanding the past - how people lived, worked, and thought - in order to better understand the present.
I am also fascinated by the myths, legends, and true stories connected to the places we visit. Through my walks and tours, I aim to take guests on an engaging journey through time, bringing history, culture, and local traditions to life. I hope you will enjoy this experience as much as I enjoy sharing it.
Tobias Hausner -
Software Developer and Tour Guide in Summer
I moved from Germany to Iceland with my mother in 1997. After living in Reykjavík from 2004 to 2025, I moved to the area near Þingvellir in 2026.
Like many Icelanders, I have worked in a variety of jobs, including sales, warehouse work, and customer service, before learning programming. Today, I work as a backend software developer.
Since 2024, I have been assisting my mother, Helga, in our family business, Ísafjörður Guide, during the three summer months. I greatly enjoy this work, and it provides a welcome balance to my programming work career during the rest of the year.
My interests, much like my mother's, lie in connecting the past with the present and showing how history continues to live on in our culture. I love Icelandic nature and spend a great deal of time exploring it. Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to share it with our guests and help them experience its unique beauty.
