2-Day Hike to Iceland's Westfjords' Hornvík

This tour promises the best of Hornstrandir's wild beauty, from the six million birds nesting on the cliffs to the Arctic Foxes that casually wander the area. The untouched, pristine landscape will leave you breathless, and you may return from this trip a changed person.

Accommodation will be in comfortable 2-person tents with a larger, heated cooking/eating tent where you can socialize and dry off your gear.
