Hornstrandir Panorama Day-Hike

We’ll meet up at our Service Center for a briefing, where we will answer any questions and make final preparations. We depart at 9 am from the harbor in Ísafjörður on our passenger ferry.

The ferry ride takes about an hour, taking us past some spectacular cliff-lined shores and stunningly beautiful fjords. If we’re lucky, we might see some marine life, because whales, dolphins, and seabirds all reside in the area. We’ll be dropped at the Adalir Valley in Veiðileysufjörður fjord – a gorgeous area that is nestled between imperious cliffs.

We’ll instantly begin to make our way to its summit, passing trickling streams and arctic tundra as we climb to an elevation of 500 meters, where we’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking vista over the entire Westfjord System. We’ll stop there to enjoy some Icelandic delicacies to one of the best views that you’ll find anywhere.

We’ll hike back to our beautifully restored in the Kvíadalur Valley – it is perched on a verdant hillside that offers a beautiful contrast to the sparkling blue fjord. You’ll spend the rest of the day exploring the area by yourself, while we prepare the group a traditional Icelandic dinner. Among the highlights of the area are several cascading waterfalls and the family of curious Arctic Foxes that live in our garden. We’ll enjoy a well-deserved dinner together and then catch the ferry back to Ísafjörður – after a tiring day that will provide memories that last a lifetime.
Please note – this itinerary is provisional and could be subject to change depending on the weather and the ability of the group.
