Driven by water.

Quest West is an adventure company based in the remote and breathtaking Westfjords of Iceland, created for travelers seeking experiences beyond the ordinary.

Surrounded by dramatic fjords, untouched landscapes, and raw Arctic nature, we design adventures that combine exploration, adrenaline, and a deep connection with the environment. The Westfjords are our home, our playground, and the inspiration behind everything we do.

From water sports and hiking adventures to winter expeditions and tailor-made journeys, every experience is designed to showcase the unique beauty of this remarkable region. Whether you're exploring remote trails, discovering hidden waterfalls, riding across Arctic waters, or venturing into the winter wilderness, our goal is to help you experience Iceland in a way that is authentic, personal, and unforgettable.

SMALL GROUPS

We specialise in private and small-group experiences in Iceland, allowing every guest to enjoy a more personal, flexible, and immersive adventure.

By keeping our groups small, we create space for real connection with nature, with the experience, and with the people sharing it.

The Westfjords are our home, our playground, and our inspiration.

Justas Šuscickis

Originally arriving in Ísafjörður for a short-term avalanche barrier project, the Westfjords quickly became home. With a deep passion for the outdoors, mountain life, and ocean sports, the idea behind Quest West was born from exploring remote landscapes and discovering new ways to experience them.

From ski touring in the mountains to surfing and wakeboarding in Arctic waters, Justas built Quest West around the idea of creating authentic adventures connected to nature, freedom, and exploration.

Today, those experiences have evolved into unique journeys designed to share the raw beauty, energy, and spirit of the Westfjords with others.

Gaëlle

Growing up on Vancouver Island, I developed a lifelong love for the outdoors and a deep appreciation for wild landscapes.

That passion has led me to explore and work in some incredible places, and discovering Iceland's Westfjords has been one of the most rewarding experiences.

I look forward to sharing the region's dramatic scenery, hidden gems, and unique character.

Based in the Westfjords, I’ve spent the past four years working as a guide in Iceland, sharing my passion for the outdoors with visitors from around the world.

I love hiking, exploring remote landscapes, and helping others experience the natural beauty that makes this region so unique.

Kate

I love water sports, adventure, animals, and experiences that bring people closer to nature.

After discovering the Westfjords, I quickly fell in love with the raw beauty and unique energy of this region. With a background in tourism, hospitality, and guiding, I really enjoy creating memorable experiences, connecting people, and sharing positive energy with everyone I meet.

For me, life is all about adventure, good people, and collecting stories along the way.

Katerina

I’m a positive person who always has something in mind that could be done. I enjoy walks in nature, exploring the world, and the Icelandic “þetta reddast” way of living.

On days when I’m not physically active, I enjoy creating things — from painting to cooking or baking, or simply relaxing with a good cup of tea.
