This is the most majestic place that I've been too. Remote, isolated, with very few people (although the ones you meet are quite helpful), and no infrastructure. If you have an emergency here,, you will be on your own, so you should be self-sufficient. Be prepared for all types of weather. One moment it may be sunny and warm to the point where you feel the need to undress. The next moment it will be snowing with high winds at 35 km/h. Locals tend to underestimate hiking times. If an Icelander says that a hike will take 2h, give yourself 3 - 3.5 hours. There IS limited cell phone coverage, although it's mostly on the top of mountains. Vodafone has a nice map of spots where you can get a signal.

Heavenly place to visit once in a lifetime. No internet, no technology, no pollution. One of the best place to get close to nature. The scenic beauty is something that cannot be described by words.

Best time to go there is mid-June to mid-July. Plenty of daylight for hiking. Out of that period weather can be an obstacle. This is a very remote place and Hornstrandir is a natural reserve. Best way to get there is by plane with Air Iceland from Reykjavik to Isafjörður (45 minutes for a cost of 170$ one way). One alternative way is by bus (90$) + ferry (?$) but that requires a full day of traveling. Renting a car (around 120$/day + drop-off fee of 180$ if car is not returned at point of origin) is the third way to get to Isafjörður. From Isafjörður to Hornstrandir no other way than the ferry charters offered by Borea Adventure or West Tours. However once on the peninsula landscape is just breathtaking.
