About This Tour
Hornvík is one of the most isolated and northernmost areas in Iceland, accessible only by boat or multi-day trekking. This remoteness preserves its untouched nature. It is surrounded by two of the three largest bird cliffs in Europe and has a mystic remoteness and magnificent landscape. The region is dominated by Hornbjarg and Hælavíkurbjarg, towering cliffs that rise sharply from the sea, providing some of the most striking landscapes in Iceland. It is one of the best places for birdwatching, particularly for puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes. Hornbjarg is one of the largest bird cliffs in the country. Adventurous visitors are drawn to challenging hiking trails with breathtaking views and the sense of total seclusion. Hornvík exemplifies the raw, untouched beauty of Icelandic nature, making it a bucket-list destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.
