Hornstrandir Panorama

The Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is a truly special destination located at the very north of the Westfjords, just shy of the Arctic Circle. Its remote location gives it an adventurous and untouched feeling, as the only way to reach the peninsula is by boat. Hornstrandir has had no permanent residents since the early fifties, leaving the landscape raw, pristine, and largely untouched by human activity. This tour is ideal for visitors who only have one day to explore the area, offering a chance to experience the wild beauty of the peninsula. Hike through remote trails, enjoy breathtaking views, and encounter a diverse range of wildlife as you immerse yourself in this extraordinary natural environment. The sense of isolation and untouched wilderness makes every moment of the visit feel unique and memorable.

To enhance the experience, the tour includes a delicious home-cooked dinner in a beautifully restored farmhouse originally built in 1921. The farmhouse provides a cozy and charming setting, giving visitors a glimpse into the history and culture of the area. Adding to the magic, an Arctic Fox family has their den in the backyard, and the curious cubs often make appearances for guests. This small interaction with wildlife adds a memorable and enchanting touch to the day. From remote hiking and stunning natural landscapes to the warmth and charm of the farmhouse, this tour offers a perfect way to experience Hornstrandir even with limited time, leaving visitors with lasting memories of Iceland’s wild North.
