Description

See Akureyri from the water on an intimate tandem-kayak adventure across Eyjafjörður to a remarkable geothermal waterfall and a quiet stretch of North Iceland coastline.

Paddle from Akureyri across the sheltered inner fjord in a stable tandem kayak, discovering coastal views normally hidden from the road. The highlight is a geothermal waterfall flowing directly towards the sea, with the possibility of a short shore walk and warm-water dip when conditions invite it.

Small groups, local knowledge and approximately 75 minutes on the water create a personal, relaxed adventure that feels wonderfully different from ordinary sightseeing.

Choose your date and discover Akureyri from its most refreshing perspective.
