Iceland

Westfjords

Hornstrandir nature reserve

July 4 - 14, 2025

Backpack through the spectacular and remote Northwest reaches of Iceland

Perched on the furthest tip of Iceland’s Westfjords, this peninsula is the most remote and wild back country region of Iceland. It is only accessible by boat. Considered one of Europe’s last wildernesses, this 589 square km (227sq m) reserve has an end-of-the-world feel. Waterfalls thunder down mountains, the midnight sun kisses the ocean, cliffs plummet to the sea and the mighty Drangajökull glacier overlooks the scene.

NOTE - You must have backcountry experience to participate in this expedition- rated moderate to challenging.

This is for experienced backpackers only.
