I did Lost Fjords in Hornstrandir Aug 8-13 this year. Otherworldly beautiful and challenging hiking. The views everywhere were gorgeous.

Hiking in HornstrandirI went hiking and camping for six days in Hornstrandir. The landscape is stunning but the weather provides plenty of challenges. I went on my own, joining a group of five. This kind of trip throws people together from all over the world, and our group was up for anything, great fun, and fascinating people who I feel grateful to have met. Max, our guide was superb from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble. Very skilled and careful in navigating the environment. Very funny, and lots of excellent stories. He was a true inspiration. This was my second trip with Borea, after kayaking last year. They are an excellent company. I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Their trips are well organised and safety conscious. You definitely need to be properly prepared, and the other reviews have lots of excellent info. I would say, if you have an adventurous spirit, but are looking for the security of the organisation being taken care of, then this is the company for you!

Lost fjordsTook this six-day tour last week. There were five others on the trip plus a guide. It was an enjoyable and rewarding experience – great hiking opportunities and amazing sights. Weather is variable – we had three sunny days and three that were not so good. But it never got worse than rain. Best thing to do is invest in a pair of sturdy waterproof boots and make sure you bring enough pairs of socks. Our guide, Max, was very assured in his knowledge of the terrain. He was on top of everything throughout, made sure we had everything we needed and was a great travel companion too. I am delighted I took this trip and would definitely do another with Borea Adventures.

Lost FjordsThis was the experience of a lifetime. Our group had such a fantastic adventure going through the beautiful (and at times challenging) nature reserve. Max was an excellent guide, we could not have asked for anyone better to guide us and cooked some fantastic meals. He showed great expertise and ease in helping me through some of the tougher bits, and was just a lovely chap all around. Everyone at Borea Adventures were so welcoming and helpful, we could not have asked for a better company to travel with.

Great experience, great hikeI joined the “lost fjord tour” by Borea Adventures. It was a great experience! Stunning nature, millions of birds, excellent guidance by Örvar who knows a lot about nature and history of the westfjords, incredible light for photography and the best homemade cereal bars I’ve ever had!

The Best and Only Way To See HornstrandirVery professional and experienced operation. The very best way to see Hornstrandir. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful guides. Highly recommend

WonderfulThis is a superb organization, and an amazing place. Simply stunning. An experience we will never forget. Our two day trip was the highlight of our time in Iceland, and the staff of Borea went beyond expectations. We can’t stop thinking about it, and I am ready to go back! It goes without saying, that Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is beyond beautiful. But, we also found the staff of Borea skilled not only in their knowledge of the area and nature, but in their understanding of people. They were very helpful in some of the challenging moments of the hikes.
