Hornafjordur Airport serves the town of Hofn, the largest by far in this most dramatic of Iceland’s counties. The region is dominated by the Vatnajokull Glacier and if you want to avoid the high prices for an excursion to the glacier, pre-book a hire car from Hornafjordur Airport.

Hornafjordur Airport Mini Guide

Major Airlines that Operate From Hornafjordur Airport
Only Eagle Air uses Hornafjordur Airport with their daily flight from Reykjavik. In winter the service drops away as the weather worsens but in summer the flights are packed.

Major Destinations Served by the Airport
There’s only one place you’ll get to by air from Hofn and that’s Reykjavik.

Onward Journey From the Airport
The airport is some way from the town so getting in can be a problem without a hire car – make sure you pre-book one or you may be stuck! The town is off the ring road on sub route 99.

Driving Conditions
Local conditions are affected by the mountain range and the glacier and can be cruel in winter. The roads are very isolated and in places can be impassable in winter.

Places to Stay
There’s the basic but comfortable Hotel Hofn near the centre and the ubiquitous Edda Hotel but for some traditional Icelandic hospitality, you won’t beat the guesthouses of which there are many.

Must See Places Near Hornafjordur Airport
  • Vatnajokull National Park. This amazing park has Iceland’s highest mountains and Europe’s largest glacier which dominates the landscape It’s without doubt one of the must see sights of Iceland.
  • Glacier Jeep Safaris. Head off in a 4 x 4 jeep driven by an expert ice driver. You’ll climb onto the glacier and drive for miles over a pure white landscape seeing nature at its most magnificent.
  • Jokulsarlon. To see the glacier form a different perspective, take a boat trip on the lake that’s formed in front of the face of the glacier. Lasting just over half an hour it’s a breath-taking experience.
