Join this 7-day expedition voyage to the practically uninhabited Westfjords of Iceland. This remote corner of Iceland is one of the best-kept secrets among travelers. The slopes of the mountains surrounding Lonafjörður & Hrafnsfjörður are attractive for skiers and snowshoe walkers.
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Arrive in Reykjavik and transfer by chartered bus to Isafjordur. The shuttle is approximately 7 hours. Embark your ship this afternoon and prepare to set sail.
Enjoy a great scenic cruise as your ship crew aims to anchor in the sheltered fjords of Hesteyrarfjörður, Veiðileysufjörður, Lonafjörður, or Hrafnsfjörður looking for a great place to snowshoe. The mountains are not that high here but alpine slopes offer promising ski outings. At night, the Westfjords are a great place to watch the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) during the winter months. On these late March and early April sailings, you may still witness them.
Begin the day in a calm area in the bay of Hornvik at the northern tip of Iceland. Here, surrounded by rugged mountains, hope to snowshoe or ski up to the Hornbjarg view point, an impressive rock face towering over the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. In summer the cliffs and valleys are inhabited with birds, and in the fall the fjords offer moments of silence and tranquility. Keep an eye out for the Arctic fox that proudly roam the mountains and inlets.
Head towards the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and sail past Latrabjarg, a massive bird cliff. Keep your eye out for a variety of nesting seabirds, orcas, and other marine wildlife.
Sail around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula through Snæfellsjökull volcano, one of the most majestic symbols of Iceland. The volcano is recognized as the setting of the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth by the author Jules Verne.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
