What's this trip about?

Hike the heart of Hornstrandir, taking in all its beauty, Hornbjarg bird cliffs and history in a short time. We have departures every Friday from 10. June until 26. August. When limited to only a couple days in Hornstrandir, the toughest part can be deciding where to go. Hornvík Bay is a clear favorite for many travelers and is our recommendation for the “I only have a couple days where should I go?” traveler. We totally recommend doing more than a day trip to the nature reserve since in the evenings the nature takes on a different shape. The Arctic foxes come out from the dens searching for food, the midnight sun shines straight into Hornvík bay and it's so cozy to sit around the table in our basecamp enjoying a nice cup of tea talking to your fellow travellers. The wildlife in Hornvík is amazing with over 6 million birds nesting in the cliffs, Arctic foxes that are so relaxed that you can enjoy their company from a short distance and many species of waders that call the bay their home. The nature is pristine and breathtaking. You will return from this trip a different person.
