How far each one goes
An Iceland Westfjords tour out of this port can mean a two-hour ride along one fjord or a seven-hour drive between several, and the price follows the distance more closely than anything else. Fifteen listings leave from town, from $79 to $1,875. This page sorts them by how deep into the Westfjords they actually take you: the valley behind town, the fjord road to Dynjandi, the fishing village of Flateyri, the seal colony and Súðavík, the island of Vigur, and the historic farmstead at Hrafnseyri.
Quick answer
The short answer. The standard Iceland Westfjords tour here is a half-day of 3 hours 30 minutes or 4 hours on the fjord road to Dynjandi, and it starts at $79. Add the fishing village of Flateyri and it becomes four hours from $129. Want less driving and more of one place? The two-hour e-bike ride stays in the valley behind town at $169, and the whale boat leaves the road behind altogether at $111.
What the word covers
Fifteen listings, one peninsula, and a price that rises with the kilometres.
The Westfjords are the peninsula in the north-west of the country, and the fifteen listings that leave this town stay inside it. An Iceland Westfjords tour from here is a question of which fjords you see rather than how far you get from the peninsula.
Distance is what you are paying for. The cheapest listing is a half-day on a modern bus to one waterfall with a local guide. Add a farm stop and it costs more. Add a village and the day stretches to four hours. Put the whole thing in a private vehicle with flexible stops and it becomes seven hours and a four-figure price. The lengths in the table below are the figures the operators publish, and they track the prices closely.
What none of these listings promises is wildlife or weather, and neither do we. The whale boat looks for humpbacks, the island is known for its puffins, the seal colony is a place where seals haul out. What you book is a trip to the ground where those animals live, not a ticket to see them.
Sorted by distance
From the valley behind town to the far side of the fjord road.
A guided small-group e-bike ride along the fjord to the Bunárfoss waterfall and into the Engidalur valley. The shortest Iceland Westfjords tour that still leaves the streets, and the highest rating of any listing here with more than ten reviews.
Five traditional dishes of the region with the meal included, and the food traditions used to tell the local history. It is a new listing with no reviews yet, and it is a tasting rather than an excursion, so treat it as the hour you have left rather than the day.
The whale boat works the coastline for humpbacks with a seasoned captain explaining the marine environment: 404 reviews at 4.8. Vigur Island is a return boat transfer to a small island known for its birdlife, its puffins and its Icelandic heritage: 104 reviews at 4.7.
A half-day to Hvítanes, where a seal colony hauls out, and on to the village of Súðavík, where the guide speaks about the avalanche of 1995. It is the one listing here that addresses that history, and it does so as history. 4.5 from 6 reviews, and one of the four listings with a free cancellation flag.
Ten of the fifteen listings drive this road to the largest waterfall in the Westfjords. The bus version is the cheapest at 4.7 from 2,329 reviews; the farm version at $149 adds coffee, tea and cake at a farm and is rated 4.7 from 1,421 reviews; the four-hour versions add the fishing village of Flateyri or a run of scenic stops.
Two private listings go further than the standard half-day. The five-hour one pairs Dynjandi with the historic farmstead at Hrafnseyri and is the only listing here that mentions a pickup. The seven-hour one is the longest Iceland Westfjords tour on the page: fjords, fishing villages and coastal viewpoints with flexible stops, at $1,875. Neither has more than one review yet.

All 15 excursions compared→Shared or private
Private here means the vehicle, and sometimes the route. It does not mean a better-reviewed day.
Four of the fifteen listings are sold as private, and they split into two very different things. The four-hour private trip to Dynjandi with scenic stops is $157 and carries 8 reviews at 4.9 — a small number, so read it as encouraging rather than proven. Above it sit $862, $1,616 and $1,875, which are prices for a group rather than a seat.
What the expensive three add, according to their own listings: Hrafnseyri and local history on the five-hour one, a short hike to the uppermost tier of Dynjandi on the $1,616 one, and flexible stops at fishing villages and coastal viewpoints across seven hours on the $1,875 one.
Two of the three have a single review each, both 5.0, and one has none at all. One review is not evidence, and an Iceland Westfjords tour at four figures deserves better evidence than that, so we would rather you knew. If proven numbers matter more to you than a private vehicle, the shared half-days carry thousands of reviews between them.

Common questions
Nine of the fifteen listings run 3 hours 30 minutes or 4 hours. The two boats and the e-bike ride are 3 hours and 2 hours, the food tasting is 60 minutes, and the two longest are private at 5 and 7 hours.
The guided bus day trip to Dynjandi at $79 for 3 hours 30 minutes, rated 4.7 from 2,329 reviews. It is also the most reviewed listing on this site.
Two name the village: the four-hour shore excursion at $145, rated 4.7 from 202 reviews, and the four-hour tour at $129, rated 4.5 from 57. A third four-hour listing visits villages along the way without naming which.
Three. The two-hour e-bike ride stays in the valley behind town at $169, the whale boat and the Vigur Island boat leave from the water rather than the road, and the food tasting is an hour in town.
Yes, and that is what the four-hour listings are for. They cost from $129 against $79 for the bus that goes to the waterfall alone, so half an hour more and a village costs about fifty dollars.
From $157 for a four-hour private trip to Dynjandi with scenic stops. The three larger private listings are $862 for five hours with Hrafnseyri, $1,616 for three and a half with a hike to the top tier of the waterfall, and $1,875 for seven hours with flexible stops.
The listings do not promise it and neither do we. The whale boat looks for humpbacks, Vigur Island is known for its birdlife and its puffins, and Hvítanes is where a seal colony hauls out. What you book is the trip to those places.
