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.

Our Environmental and Sustainability Goals
We are committed to sustainability and strive to ensure that nature can be enjoyed without being damaged, 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.
Helga Ingeborg Hausner -
Tourist Guide for the Westfjords.
My other professions are: social worker and dipl. educator, primary school teachers, learning consult and author.
I am a certified touristguide and touristoperator in the small and beautiful town Isafjördur in Westfjords and have 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 great interest in understanding how things were in the past, such as how people lived, in order to understand how things are today.
I also like to know the myths and legends of the places we visit as well as real life stories. So I try to make my walks an interesting journey through time and hope that you will enjoy them too.
Tobias Hausner -
Software Developer and Tour Guide in Summer
I moved from Germany to Iceland with my mother in 1997. I have lived in Reykjavík since 2004 and, since 2026, near Þingvellir.
Like most 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 during the winter season.
