This four-hour tour begins with a hike on Bolafjall Sky Walk, where you’ll enjoy spectacular views of steep cliffs and the North Atlantic Ocean, with the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the distance. The walk includes a brief overview of NATO's historical monitoring infrastructure positioned on the mountain, adding a layer of interest to the natural beauty.
After the sky walk, the group will hike to the old lignite mine in Syðridalur. The trail is marked and takes about 25 minutes at a moderate pace. The mine itself, active from 1917 to 1921, requires some crawling to enter, but opens up to a standing space inside. The journey includes a stop at the Ósvör Maritime Museum, making for an enriching outdoor experience.
Reviews
This tour is outstanding. Orla and Justas are genuinely knowledgeable and sincere. My family gained an understanding of Icelandic culture, saw breathtaking landscapes, and will always remember this experience. The caves, waterfalls, and viewpoints are essential.
The scenery was stunning and the hike was definitely worth it. Our guide recommended a brief stop during the trek, and it turned out to be a beautiful experience.
This tour was exceptional. Our guide was a pleasure, always cheerful and full of knowledge. Despite the challenging weather, we still had an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this for anyone seeking a distinctive small group adventure.
The hike is quite challenging yet beautiful, and it's manageable for those of us in our 70s. The vistas from the Coast Guard station were breathtaking. Our guide was enjoyable and lively.
Evelyn, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable during the trip. The hike to the mine was lovely, offering beautiful scenery and moderate difficulty. Bolafjall was stunning, and the drive to the summit provided amazing vistas. The observation deck offered expansive views. Being part of a small group allowed us to fully enjoy the experience at our own pace.
Elizabeth guided my wife and me on a hike to an ancient mine, then over a mountain pass to another valley and the ocean. We gained valuable insights about life in Iceland and the region from her extensive knowledge.
