Description

Take the boat from Hornvik Bay in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve back to Isafjordur Town on this one-way trip, which suits travelers exploring Hornstrandir on their own.

Hornvik is one of the most remote places in Iceland. It's surrounded by two of the three largest bird cliffs in Europe, including Hornbjarg Cliff, and is home to Arctic foxes and seabirds such as puffins. The Hornstrandir Nature Reserve can only be reached by boat, and there are no services, so you must be well prepared and self-sufficient, with your own food and camping equipment.

The boat leaves from Hornvik and sails to Isafjordur. The ride can sometimes be bumpy, and it can be colder at sea than on land, so dress warmly.

Isafjordur is the largest town in the Westfjords, surrounded by steep mountains and a fjord. It's known for its historic wooden buildings, some dating back to the 18th century, and is the gateway to the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve.

The boat docks at the harbor in Isafjordur, where you can continue your travels in the Westfjords.

What to bring

Warm, waterproof clothing

Good to know

This is a one-way boat ride from Hornvik to Isafjordur.

The boat ride takes 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on sea conditions.

The return time is only an estimate and may be delayed by 1 to 2 hours because of weather, sea conditions, and other factors.

You must be well prepared to travel on your own in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve, as the boat crew isn't responsible for you while you're in the area.

There's no phone or internet coverage in most of Hornstrandir, so book your boat tickets in both directions.

Seasickness medication isn't recommended, as it can make you drowsy.
