Delightful paddle around the bay - My husband and I recently took part in this tour. The other group members cancelled, so it was just us. Greg, our guide, was helpful, funny and patient. He was very knowledgeable about the area and a delight to talk to. He told us lots of stories about the area and about the GoT appearances that the mountain made. The conditions were very easy, and we had a lot of fun paddling around the bay. We were in dry suits, so fairly warm, although my husband's suit was a bit damp inside. Greg gave us some sea truffle to try, which was delicious and such a fun addition. The sunset was pretty, and we enjoyed finishing with hot chocolates and biscuits to warm us up. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

Great fun activity - Really fun activity, particularly for those with little sea kayaking experience. Great leaders who provide information about the area and point out things to you. We were lucky enough to see Puffins on the water and a seal.

Amazing Experience - Don’t miss out on this experience! It’s amazing! Conditions were perfect and our guides, Greg and Reda, were the absolute best! We learned so much about Iceland and got lots of insider tips. The natural beauty is truly breathtaking and we even had a seal popping up and accompanying us for a good part of the night. Highly recommend!

Do this tour!!! Greg is great and the views are incredible! - AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! We ended our honeymoon trip to Iceland with this midnight kayaking tour and it really couldn’t have been better. Not only did it end up being a private tour but Greg the tour guide is just awesome- super kind and very knowledgeable. He told us so many interesting stories and facts about the area and history. One thing to keep in mind is that it does get windy which can make parts difficult- however Greg was prepared for that and bought a rope just in case we needed help. Again such a great tour to do - it was truly magical. Oh! And our adventure ended with hot cocoa and cookies with was such a treat after the tour!

Bobbing about under brooding skies. - Phenomenal! We had such a great time paddling around in this beautiful place. The grandeur of Kirkjufell and the abundant wildlife made this a memory we shall cherish for ever. Curious seals followed us as we explored and newly arrived Arctic Terns flew overhead occasionally swooping into the clear waters for a meal, we can’t recommend this enough. Our guide was superb. They attentively listened as we reeled off our plans for the week, they even gave some superb recommendations that turned out to be some of the best things we did. Just amazing!

Must do! - While in Grundarfjorour, this is an experience not to be missed. We kayaked til near midnight in calm water with a sunset behind Kirkjufell Mountain. Drysuits kept us warm, our guide was knowledgeable and patient.

AMAZING - What a fantastic experience! My 20year old daughter and I just got home and I had to write a review. I think this is only the 2nd one I’ve ever written. That’s how great Kate and Sony (our tour guides) were. They were kind and patient and even took pics and airdropped them to us! The weather was spectacular - so we were extra fortunate. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
