Local Travel Agency

Fantastic Fjords is a local Travel Agency in Ísafjörður. After  many years in the Travel and Service industry, both in Reykjavik and New York, we decided to move to the Westfjords of Iceland and start our own company in early 2016. Focus on Soft Travel with culinary touch, history and culture and mix and mingle with the locals.

Travel with a foodie twist

Fantastic Fjords specialises in so-called soft travel, where experience, leisurely travel and local connections are at the forefront. This way, food culture, historical insights and interaction with locals are part of each trip, making the experience both personal and memorable.

Customized trips

Each trip is customised to the needs and interests of each client with an emphasis on personal service and unexpected surprises that are often missing from traditional travel.

Unexpected experiences in unexpected places

Fantastic Fjords’ goal is to create unique experiences in places that surprise guests. Whether travelling exclusively in the Westfjords or combining the trip with other parts of the country, we ensure that each guest goes home with unforgettable memories.
