Before heading back to Isafjordur, the boat may take a short stop at Hesteyri, a once-thriving village abandoned in the 1950s. Today, it’s a tranquil site with weathered wooden buildings, quiet hiking paths, and rich historical charm.
From there, the boat enters the expansive Isafjardardjup Fjord. Rugged mountains and ever-changing light frame this deep and scenic waterway.
If weather conditions are favorable, keep an eye out for marine life. Dolphins, porpoises, or even whales may appear alongside the boat, adding a magical touch to the voyage.
Your journey concludes at the harbor in Isafjordur, the largest town in the Westfjords. With its colorful houses, charming cafes, and dramatic mountain backdrop, Isafjordur feels like a welcome bridge between wilderness and comfort.
From here, you can continue your Icelandic adventure, enjoy a warm meal, or simply rest after your time in Hornstrandir.
