Backpack through the spectacular Westfjords with our partners at Cedar Path Expeditions on this Iceland Hiking Adventure.

Perched on the furthest tip of Iceland’s Westfjords, this peninsula is the most remote and wild backcountry region of Iceland. It is only accessible by boat. Considered one of Europe’s last wildernesses, this 589 square km (227sq m) reserve has an end-of-the-world feel. Waterfalls thunder down mountains, the midnight sun kisses the ocean, cliffs plummet to the sea and the mighty Drangajökull glacier overlooks the scene.
NOTE – You must have backcountry camping experience to participate in this expedition – rated moderate to challenging.
