Hornstrandir Traverse

Join us on a journey through the wild and remote landscapes of Hornstrandir Nature Reserve, where we guide you to the very best that this extraordinary area has to offer. Traveling in a small group of like-minded adventurers allows for a more personal and immersive experience. The region is rich in both history and wildlife, making it a truly unique destination in Iceland. During the summer months, millions of seabirds soar along the cliffs while curious Arctic Foxes roam the land. As we hike through the reserve, our guides share fascinating stories about the people who lived here until the area was abandoned shortly after World War II. Every step of the trail brings you closer to the raw beauty and untouched wilderness that defines Hornstrandir.

We spend two nights in our cozy basecamp located in a scenic bay, where each guest has their own bed in a spacious two-person tent. Gourmet dinners and social gatherings take place in a large mess tent, providing the perfect setting to share stories and experiences from the day with fellow travelers. All camping gear and food are supplied, so you only need to bring a small backpack for your personal belongings. This combination of adventure, wildlife, history, and comfort makes the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve an unforgettable destination and a must-see for anyone seeking a true wilderness experience. From exploring rugged landscapes and observing Arctic Foxes to enjoying communal meals and learning about the area’s history, this trip offers a perfect balance of excitement, discovery, and relaxation in one of Iceland’s most stunning and remote regions.
