Highland Base - Kerlingarfjöll

F347, 801 Selfoss

Highland Base was conceived as the staging ground for epic adventures deep in the highlands of central Iceland. A year-round oasis of warmth and comfort, this remote outpost accommodates all levels of hospitality. With a campground, hostel huts, dormitory beds, upscale rooms, luxury suites, private lodges, thermal baths, and a cozy restaurant, Highland Base is a first-of-its-kind highland resort.

Located at the edge of the majestic Kerlingarfjöll mountain range, the destination is a thrillseeker’s paradise, offering a vast array of guided and unguided adventures. While the experiences are seasonal, the excitement is timeless. In summer, hiking and mountain biking bring you face-to-face with the mountainscape's geothermal valleys and breathtaking panoramas. In winter, cross-country skiing, backcountry skiing, and snowmobiling set you free to explore the untamed wilderness. And when you return to Highland Base from a day of adventuring, you'll always find a warm and welcoming refuge—a place to relax, reflect, and recharge.

Doctorshouse in Hesteyri

Læknishúsið Hesteyri, 415 Bolungarvík

We are a small family-run café and guest house in Hesteyri, located directly in the middle of the untouched nature of the West Fjords in the „Hornstrandir National Park“.

Hesteyri is an old fishing village in the nature reserve Hornstrandir which is on the furthest point of the northwest of Iceland.

The area is known for its rugged and steep landscape and moos covered valleys and stony tablelands. 
A large colony of seabirds nests. Hornstrandir is also known as a common hunting ground for polar foxes. The nature is almost untouched by people. 
The village’s prime time was 100 years ago but in 1952 the last residents left. The ruin of the old whaling station is a reminder of the good old times. Today there are still 10 houses in the original style and being used as summerhouses. 

You can only travel by boat to Hesteyri. From the middle of June till the middle of August tourists and hikers can take boats from Bolungarvík or Isafjörður to Hesteyri. 
Hesteyri is the most popular place for hikers to start their hicking trips around or throughout the nature reserve Hornstrandir. 
A visit to Hesteyri with its outstanding unique untouched nature is like taking a tour to the last century.
