Fishing in Grundarfjordur - Greg is wonderful guide! He kept me safe and showed me how to fish successfully for the first time in me life. I recommend this trip for everyone. One of the best experience I ever had.

Best kayak tour in Iceland - We really enjoyed our tour with Greg, a more beautiful, informative, and relaxing tour than other kayak tours we have done in Iceland. This is the tour you’ll want to book!

Fun way to start the day! - This was such a fun experience and our guide, Sonne (I hope I spelled it right), was full of fun information. I originally booked a later time slot, but I was the only one signed up, so they gave me a couple of options. It all worked out in the end. No worries. We were on the water for 70 minutes and even stopped for a little special snack. Hot chocolate and cookies were provided at the end of the tour. Our guide also told us of other things to do in the area.

Lovely!! - This tour was so much fun! The guide, Greg, was very kind and friendly. I enjoyed my time in the water and going around the mountain! Amazing experience! I even got to see a seal briefly as it followed us for a short time.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend! - Myself, husband & 2 sons (age 13 & 15) did the Classic Adventure and absolutely loved it. Our guide Kate was fantastic - so friendly and welcoming, and shared interesting information along the way, while also ensuring our safety & comfort. After all the driving & hiking we'd done travelling Iceland, it was a refreshing change to explore from the perspective of the water. This is an awesome tour company, and can't possibly rave more about Kate, she truly made the whole experience special.

Great bay/cove with views of Kirkjufell - Our morning kayak had sunshine which made it very beautiful and enjoyable. We had Suny as our guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and humorous filling us in on the stories of the area. The wind started gusting half way through so the trip was probably not as long as it could have been. He wanted to make sure we did not have to fight the gusts for long. Great area and would do it again. You just have to roll with the weather Iceland throws at you.
