Reykjanes peninsula in Ísafjarðardjúp Bay. It is a favorite spot among many Icelandic sea kayakers and it becomes obvious why once you experience the area. The waters around Reykjanes are often calm and many seals can be spotted on both sides of the peninsula. Reykjanes is also home to the Westfjords' largest outdoor geothermal swimming pool.

The drive to Reykjanes from Ísafjörður is 1.5 hours. Once we arrive we will head out to sea for a relaxed paddle along the coast to observe the seals, birds and the unique geothermal water flow into the ocean. In the distance you will see the majestic Drangajökull glacier and if the waters are calm enough we might even paddle to Borgarey Island.

​

After a paddle into the fjord we will come ashore for lunch on the beach and watch the curious seals check us out. We will then head back out to sea while paddling along the coast to get a closer look at the wildlife that calls this place their home. We will spend about 3-4 hours kayaking around Reykjanes then head to the hot pot to relax in the soothing geothermal water. Once everyone is ready will will make the drive back home to Ísafjörður.

What is kayaking? Our kayaks are Dagger Exodus, the best open water kayaks available. They are closed boats so no water gets into them.

​

You glide peacefully through the water, powered by your paddle strokes. You will be wearing a lifejacket; a specially made dry jacket and wet pants that will keep you warm even in the harshest off circumstances.

​

Almost anyone can go paddling with us. Our guides will teach you everything you need to know. They will also paddle with you and are always in reach if anything should happen or if you simply have a question about the scenery!
