About This Tour
Heinabergslón is a hidden gem which feels far off the beaten path. If you like to experience raw nature without the tourists crowds then this place is for you! The neighbouring mountains are totally inaccessible by road, guaranteeing solitude. We use packrafts, lightweight inflatable boats which give us ultimate flexibility in crafting our adventures. We emphasise "slow travel"; adventurous trips which explore seldom visited places and give our guests the time to take in the unique environments that we are lucky enough to visit. We take a maximum of 6 travellers to keep our tours personal.
