The bus had WiFi and USB charger which is fantastic. The Waterfall is amazing and the farm visit very interesting. The best part is the scenery there and back. Wow. Maybe just a bit longer at the farm would have been nice, but a great trip. Thank you.”

A small-group day trip from Ísafjörður to Dynjandi Waterfall, then Gemlufell Farm. See fjords, climb for views, and snack on cake.

“Kind and informative guide who was also our driver. Waterfall was lovely. Could have used an additional 30mins to not feel rushed with the climb. We arrived as one of the first busses of the day, however, crowds increased significantly by the time we returned down from the falls and it took much longer to descend. Farm visit was nice, ours was cut short due to late arriving guests from the falls and unfortunately it impacted the rest of the group. Hosts were knowledgeable and friendly, driver was safe an conscientious.”

I appreciate that the captain was respectful of the whales and let them come close to us rather than us chasing them. The guides were fantastic and gave lots of info and individually went around to check on all the passengers numerous times. Really great trip!”

A small-group Ísafjörður shore tour to Dynjandi, Iceland’s 100-meter Fjallfoss, plus a working-farm stop to feed animals.

“I booked a Small group tour several months in advance for a reason. We do not like big bus tours and are willing to pay a little more money for it. The night before our tour I received a message that our tour was cancelled because it had not reached its minimum number of guests. However they were putting us with another outfitter and it was the same tour. So far so good. But the next morning we were out in a huge bus. The itinerary was the same, but definitely not a “small group”. I reached out to the original tour, pointing out that there was a price difference…”

So disappointed about the change of itinerary but Valkyrie Tours were prompt to respond and hopefully I’ll see the refund shortly.”
