Leave civilisation behind and get the opportunity to experience the breathtaking wilderness of the Westfjords of Iceland and feel the power of nature on your own skin.
How about that? This tour is absolutely one of its kind.
Imagine being in a place with no pollution, no buildings around, no traffic noise, no newspapers, no cell phone... Add a glacier, a horse, a few natural hot tubs, some more horses, eight days, great company and you've got yourself a unique trip.
In and around Hornstrandir nature reserve in the mountainous Westfjords you are able to have a fully guided horseback experience like no other. In 2012 the full expedition is only available twice over the midsummer so you better start thinking about it.
Leave your modern life behind and join this unique adventure!
Travelling on your own horse accompanied by packhorses and a free-running heard you will enter the nature reserve and ride for a few days.
Beginning in Laugaland farm you will head West into the fjords of Isafjardardjup and North across the Drangajökull glacier area. Crossing glacier rivers and fjords you will encounter some of the most stunning landscapes in Iceland. Slowing down in the Northern Hornstrandir you will have the opportunity to relax in the surroundings of Reykjafjörður and bathe in a natural warm swimming pool. The last 3 days are spent riding into fjords and along cliffs accompanied by the midnight sun that has the habit of shining 24 hours in Hornstrandir this time of the year.
With lots of experience and modern GPS technology, our seasoned guide leads the adventurous way across the Drangajökull glacier. On the other side, our final destination the valley of Skjaldfannardalur and our farm Laugaland, are waiting up for us.
Nature like you have never experienced it before. Does it get more refereshing than this?
