Veiðileysifjörður is one of many fjords called Jökulfirðir in Hornstrandir. The landscape of the Jökulfirðir fjords is beautiful with its impressive, steep snow-flecked mountains and its quiet and secluded coves.
The boat leaves from Ísafjordur and makes the first stop most often in Hesteyri before continuing to Veiðileysufjörður.
Veiðileysufjörður is a great start for a multi-day hike and is the closest stop to Hornvík from Jökulfirðir.
Hornstrandir is one of the most beautiful places in Iceland. There are no roads and sporadic cell reception, so you might experience complete tranquillity without interruptions – apart from bird songs and the Arctic fox. You must be well prepared for the hike, but it is well worth it!
