Hornvík Heights and Sights

Day 1

Day 1 We meet at our office in Aðalstræti 17 (downtown main street) at 7am for a briefing, where we will answer any questions and make final preparations. We depart from the harbour in Ísafjörður on our passenger ferry Bjarmi at 8am. The destination is our renovated farmhouse Kvíar which stands on the shore between the fjords of Veiðleysufjörður and Lónafjörður. The journey takes around an hour. En route there is a very good chance that we’ll see humpback whales. We enjoy a relaxing evening with a nice home cooked meal and the wood heated sauna!

Day 2

After a hearty breakfast, we will head out for another adventure in the surrounding mountains and fjords. We normally split the day into a good hike in the morning and optional sea kayaking into Lonafjörður Fjord where we can try our skills on the water if conditions are good. Sea kayaking is very easy and we use stable and seaworthy kayaks for a comfortable paddle. Back home for a nice dinner and optional wodd heated sauna at the farmhouse.

Day 3

On the last day, we can take a ride on our RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat). This is a small speedboat which we can use to explore the surrounding fjords. It is a great way to visit secluded spots further away from Kvíar. It’s really nice to pack a picnic and head to a beautiful spot, turn the engine off and keep an eye out for the curious seals which populate our shores. We then head back to Kvíar and await the passenger ferry which will transport us back to Ísafjörður. The boat arrives around 5-6pm. We arrive back in town at approximately 6-7pm. Please note that sometimes the RIB may not always be available
