Helga Hausner is a wonderful guide! Our tour with Isafjordur Guide Helga Hausner was wonderful. We toured the church with hand carved birds. A tour and history of the city and hike in the hills. She know a great deal about the vegetation of Isafjordur even what plant you can eat. (2025)

A very interesting tour in beautiful nature. It was really fun. Helga has also responded very individually to our wishes and needs. Worthwhile. (2019)

We learned a lot about the Icelandic flora. Helga knows a lot about it. We have learned a lot of new about the plants native to us. Now we know what you can eat. On the trails that we would never have found without Helga, we really enjoyed nature. Thanks, Helga. (2019)

We had a very nice last minute Botanical tour with Helga on the hills of Isafjordur on a very sunny day in early June 2019. We were very curious about the Icelandic plants and got many confirmations and interesting additions to our knowledge so far

You get an insight into the Icelandic vegetation and see plants in their natural habitat, while experience the wonderful view of the fjord and surrounding valleys. Our guide will show you the plants and tell you interesting facts about the wild flora and their use in the past and today.
You will be fascinated by the Icelandic nature and enjoy the special atmosphere - where even the stones smell!

Also in autumn our vegetation is an amazing experience with it´s yellow, red and violett colours and delicious berries.

Tour of the Church in Ísafjörður

As an extension you have the opportunity to visit the evangelical church with its famous mural. Of all the tourists, only my guests are allowed to visit the church outside of the very unreliable opening times. It is a special experience to admire the flock of 749 red clay golden plovers that cover the wall behind the altar. All the birds are unique because they were made by the residents of our place.
