Visit Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the most convenient way by booking a seat on this one-hour express boat transfer from Isafjordur to Hesteyri. This easy one-way boat ride is perfect for travelers eager to explore the most secluded yet breathtaking area in Iceland's Westfjords.
Your trip begins in the charming town of Isajordur, the heart of the Westfjords and a key departure point for adventures into the Hornstrandir region. The town is accessible by a 45-minute flight or a six-hour scenic drive from Reykjavik.
Isafjordur's harbor sets the stage for your journey. The boat departs from the boathouse at Asgeirsgata, and it's recommended that you arrive a few minutes early to ensure a smooth boarding process.
Once aboard, you'll settle into the comfortable seating of the modern boat. Depending on the specific boat used for the day, the vessel accommodates between 30 and 48 passengers.
All boats have indoor cabins with large windows, so passengers can enjoy the breathtaking views of Westfjords while sailing. They also have twin engines to ensure a safer and more efficient ride.
Leading your trip is a friendly and experienced crew, whom you can ask for assistance and questions during the one-hour travel. They will make your short journey exciting as it is comfortable.
As you leave the Isafjordur harbor, you'll glide into the deep waters of Isafjardardjup fjord, surrounded by dramatic mountains and the endless horizon of the Atlantic. The scenery alone, with steep cliffs, rugged coastlines, and tranquil waters, is enough to make the journey unforgettable.
During the journey, keep an eye out for marine wildlife. The fertile waters of the fjord are home to whales, dolphins, and seabirds, making this a chance to spot Iceland's diverse marine life.
Your destination, Hesteyri, is a secluded coastal village that serves as the gateway to the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. With no permanent residents, shops, or restaurants, Hesteyri offers a tranquil escape into nature.
From here, adventurers can set out on hiking trails that weave through the unspoiled landscapes of Hornstrandir, where Arctic foxes roam and millions of seabirds nest during the summer.
This one-way boat transfer is ideal for those planning to hike, photograph, or simply immerse themselves in Hornstrandir's serene environment.
Be sure to book your return transfer separately, as this package includes only the trip to Hesteyri. You're also responsible for any exploration or tour in Hornstrandir.
