More about the Tour

See the “Capital of the North” from a completely fresh perspective on this immersive 2-hour water adventure.
Perfect for seasoned kayakers and curious beginners alike, this tour teams you up with a buddy in a stable tandem kayak to explore Akureyri right from the ocean.

As you paddle along the dramatic coastline, your local guide will share fascinating insights into the region’s history and the diverse wildlife that calls these waters home.
The undisputed highlight of the journey is gliding right up to—and beneath—a stunning coastal waterfall fed by natural geothermal water.
Depending on the day’s conditions, the adventure doesn’t stop at the shoreline; we’ll park the kayaks and take a short hike up to the geothermal river that feeds the falls. There, you can cap off your paddle by jumping directly into the warm, soothing natural springs for an authentic Icelandic soak.

It is the perfect blend of active exploration, education, and pure relaxation.

Please Note

– We reserve the right to modify, alter or cancel the tour or kayaking routes if conditions (weather) require it. This may include changes due to weather, sea state, tides, safety concerns, or other unforeseen operational factors.
– Kayaking activities inherently involve outdoor and water-based risks. By participating, guests acknowledge and accept these risks, including but not limited to changing weather conditions, cold water exposure, currents, and physical exertion.
– We will get wet (It is a water-sport so expect to be a bit wet)
– Might get cold or warm (it is all up to the weather we will have that day but get ready for everything)
– Be open minded (we cannot control the wildlife or the weather)
– You will be kayaking in your own clothing (expect of a water-repelent jacked we can provide or you can use yours if you have a better one)
– Take spare clothing!

What to bring :
– Warm woollen or fleece clothing including top, bottoms and socks. Please avoid cotton as it keeps you cold when wet and takes a very long time to dry.
– Soft shoes like trainers or even flip flops if it’s a warm day (they might get wet)
– Sunhat, sunglasses and sunscreen, it can get sunny up here!
– Water bottle
– Warm water bottle (if you get cold easily)
