Private Hornstrandir Fox Watching
A private fox watching tour to the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve to see the fox in its natural habitat!
• The majestic Latrabjarg bird cliffs with a variety of birds including puffins in the summer
• The spectacular Raudasandur red-sand beach and seal colony
• The best views over the area from the deserted roads to Keflavik and Kollsvik
• A visit to the Heritage Museum at Hnjotur to learn about life in Iceland in the olden days
Season: 15th April to 1st October
What better way to enjoy travelling the rough, unpaved tracks of the Westfjords than in a jeep with a local guide telling you stories and fun facts about the southern region of the Westfjords?
You’ll explore the majestic 441m high Latrabjarg cliff with its magical bird life – the largest seabird colony in the Northern Atlantic (bird season mid-April until the beginning of August). We will learn about the history of how the cliff has been used and of a famous rescue in 1947. Driving the rough track towards the deserted Keflavik you will enjoy the magnificent view over Raudasandur, Breidavik and Latrabjarg.
The steep, rough high-altitude road to Kollsvik will provide a thrilling drive and a “helicopter view” over Haenuvik and the opening of the two fjords of Patreksfjordur and Talknafjordur.
The large sandy beach of Raudasandur is one of the most spectacular sites of Iceland. The red sand glows in the summer light, getting its reddish color from crushed scallop shells. We will stop by the French Café at Raudasandur before we head back to Patreksfjordur.
