Hesteyri is a paradise for hikers and a popular base for longer tours, especially for those that long for untouched nature, an area with no roads nor vehicles of any kind.  On the way visitors will get an insight into the history, how it was to live almost on the edge of the earth, and enjoy the pure, colorful nature.

The old Doctor’s House serves traditional Icelandic refreshments. It also serves as a primitive guesthouse, where time has pretty much stood still since the abandonment.
The area around is a great place to pick wild berries in August and September.

The boat departs from Bolungarvik at 9:30 am. Look out for whales and dolphins along the way.

Spend the day picking berries. You can take a break to explore the area, visit the old houses or walk along the beach. Enjoy traditional fare at the Doctor’s House (not included in the price).
