Isafjordur kayaking

Difficulty level: Easy
Total distance: 6 kms

This tour is suitable for beginners and experienced kayakers alike.

The journey begins at our base at Mavagardur C (grey building), where you meet your guide and gear up. We then walk down to the shore behind the old houses in Nedstikaupstadur, where we have a short safety briefing and paddling lesson.

And then we’re off! We explore the fjord keeping a good lookout for various bird species and seals. We spend approximately 2 hours on the water before heading back to our base at Mavagardur C.

Our guides will be sure to tell stories of history, folklore and life in a small town close to the arctic circle. During the summer, we can expect to see many sea birds including Oystercatchers, Arctic Terns and Eider ducks.
