Sea kayaking is a fun way to explore Iceland from a whole new perspective. The tour departs from the harbour in Stykkisholmur, a lovely little village on Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Stykkisholmur is located in Breidafjordur Bay, known for its many small islands and varied wildlife, making it an excellent location for sea kayaking. The guide will take you along the beautiful coastline which provides views of stunning basalt columns, cliffs, and many remote islands. With the abundant wildlife in Breidafjordur, you are likely to see seals and puffins, and if you are lucky you may even be able to see some whales.
The groups for the kayaking tours are small, making the tours beginner friendly. Participants are shown the basic techniques for sea kayaking and the kayaks are stable and easy to use, so no kayaking experience is needed. The guides will be ready to paddle with you and are always in reach if anything should happen or if you simply have a question about the scenery. This tour is an excellent reason to visit Stykkisholmur and a good way to add some excitement to your day, whilst enjoying the stunning surroundings of Snaefellsnes Peninsula.
Please be ready at Stykkisholmur harbour at least 15 minutes before departure.
Please wear warm undergarments (fleece/wool sweater), no cotton, and a change of clothing.
Please note that the sea kayaking tours are dependent on weather conditions and wave forecast and could be cancelled or changed at short notice. Should the tours be cancelled, you will receive a full refund.
