Testimonials

From Christine

We are regular paddlers on lakes in Nevada and the Sierras, and we wanted to experience paddling in iceland. Our guides, Pall and Johann were welcoming, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and experienced. My husband and I are active environmentalists so we were interested in those issues. They were knowledgeable about that and talked about the history of the fjord, the culture and the wildlife. We'll be back!

Into The Mountains - Hiking Day Tour from Ísafjörður in the Westfjords

Mountain walking day tour from Ísafjörður town up an over to Bolungarvík village, includes a trip to the local swimming pool.

Trip difficulty 2 out of 5 possible, easy.

Category: Day tour, available directly from Ísafjörður in Iceland.

The mountains and valleys around Isafjordur offers the enthusiastic walker some great opportunities for daytrips in the unspoiled nature. The view over the picturesque town and the sheer mountains on each side is spectacular and takes on a different shape with every step of the way.

We´ll start the walk at the cross country ski area in Seljalandsdalur and slowly progress up to the Thjofatindar peaks. Between the peaks is an easy mountain pass that offers excellent view over the Hnifsdalur valley and the fjords to the North. From there we descent a bit and cross the valley while maintaining altitude. The last part of the walk is down the Sydridalur valley close to the town of Bolungarvik. We end the trip in the local swimming pool that offers sauna and jacuzzis to sooth our sore muscles. If you want to skip the swimming pool, you can wander around town and check out the local atmosphere and the Einarshus coffee house. Drive back to Isafjordur at the end of the trip.
