On the water in Stykkisholmur - I was the only one on this tour and unlike others, the guide was fine with this and I had a great time. He was great - knowledgeable about the area & the wildlife. We saw a variety of birds, jellies, and a grey seal in addition to just the beauty of the bay. Stykkisholmur is a really nice little town and kayaking there was wonderful.

Unforgettable experience - Our group of seven -- ages 10 to 70 -- had a fabulous experience exploring the waters around Stykkisholmur with our guide, Stefan, for about two hours. I can't say enough nice things about Stefan: He was so knowledgeable and friendly, and he was the difference in making the tour feel fun and safe even though the wet and windy conditions weren't what we had preferred. (You can't pick the weather in Iceland!) He also took lots of photos for us, which we were so grateful for. Each of our 10-year-old twins (who both have kayaking experience) shared twin kayaks with their parents, and the rest of us were in beautiful long and narrow single sea kayaks. Highlights included stops on a bird-nesting island, pulling up alongside a shipwreck, and spotting baby seagulls. We never felt rushed, and the company's waterproof suits (which, yes, are a bit worn) definitely kept us dry and warm. Highly recommend!

kayaking around Stykissholmur - Stephan was a great guide, and we just had 4 people on the tour. We saw the shipwreck and lots of birds. We were out for maybe 1:25. Check the wind forecast: you may not want to go out if winds are going to be strong. We had pretty calm conditions. The drysuits are pretty old, but generally adequate.

Outstanding kayak trip. - We did our kayak tour with Stefan. He was exceptional. First, the set up in briefing were outstanding. We were given equipment without difficulty and Stephen had a great introductory class and how to kayak. He took us out on the water and did a few drills to ensure we were comfortable, and then we went out. He actually took us across an open water to an island with puffins, which is quite rare. We had an excellent time. I can’t speak enough good things about Stephen his skill in leading the group and giving us a great trip. I would do this 1000% again.

Do it and you don’t regret it - Awesome! Tour guide Stefan was very friendly and supportive. Made really good jokes and we had a lot of fun. At first we were a little worried about if we can do this (0 experience with kayak) but Stefan knows what he is doing and we were all so happy at the end of our tour! Saw cute little seagulls in the island he took us.
We also get some additional information about Iceland and what places to see next.

Exciting water adventure on our first day in Iceland - We did the evening trip from 8:30-10:30 pm, with Christian as our guide, on our first day in Iceland. The trip was unforgettable & he was very knowledgeable and encouraging, as our group had people of all skill levels. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Great experience with a great guide - Great tour. Kristján the guide is great and friendly. He goes on the tour with you and teaches you everything you need to know. This tour is a great alternative way to see the wildlife around Stykkishólmur as well as getting to see some other unique things.
They have options to be in a single man kayak or a two person kayak.
Me and my girlfriend had a great time here and definitely recommend it for people looking for a different kind of experience

Awesome experience - Kristjan is an outstanding guide - knowledgeable and made the trip really fun. It was a windy day and he exercised great judgment in where we went. The winds were so strong at the end of the trip he hooked us to his kayak for 5 mins until we got to an area that was calmer. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland. The kayaks were comfortable and he gave us suits to protect us from the wind. Super experience.

Amazing kayaking tour - My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience on the water with Kristján! It was just the two of us, so we could take all the time we wanted to admire the puffins and eagles that crossed our path. Kristján patiently waited and gave us some extra information on all the things around us. This was definitely part of our top 3 things to do in Iceland. Kristján also provided us with wetsuits so it was comfortably warm on the water. Don't hesitate, just book, you won't regret it!
