Feel the thrill of an Iceland paddleboarding adventure as you glide across a remote alpine lake surrounded by the wonderful mountains of the Westfjords. This 4-hour activity is ideal for nature lovers and active travelers who want a closer connection to Iceland’s raw landscapes in a small, welcoming group.
This tour gives you the chance to experience the Westfjords in a way few visitors do: by standing on a paddleboard in the middle of a mountain lake. The setting is quiet and remote, with only your small group sharing the water. It is an active but calm adventure, where you can move across clear water, pause by a waterfall, and enjoy a landscape that feels untouched.
Your paddleboarding tour begins in Isafjordur, where you will meet your guide and get fitted with all the gear needed for the day. From there, a short 20-minute drive takes you through the stunning Westfjords landscape to an alpine lake near Bolungarvik.
At the lake, your guide will provide a safety briefing and a short introduction to paddleboarding, showing you how to balance on the board and use your paddle with ease. Even beginners will quickly feel confident, as the calm water and step-by-step guidance make it simple to get started.
All the gear you need is included in the tour. Equipment is available for participants up to 242 pounds (110 kilograms) in weight and 6 feet 4 inches (195 centimeters) in height.
Once you step onto the board and push away from the shore, you will feel the smooth glide of the paddle against clear water. The lake is calm and peaceful, with mountains towering above and reflections of the sky shifting on the surface.
Midway through your Iceland paddleboarding experience, the group will pause for a break beside a waterfall. You can sit and take in the sound of rushing water as it echoes through the valley, with mountains rising in every direction.
This is the perfect time to enjoy your packed lunch, which each traveler brings along for the trip. If needed, there will be a chance to stop at a store on the way to pick up something to bring with you.
After lunch, there is more time to explore the lake on your board or take in the surroundings from the shore. The Westfjords are known for their unspoiled beauty, and this alpine lake is a chance to slow down and fully appreciate it.
When the paddleboarding session is complete, you will return to Isafjordur with lasting memories of one of the most peaceful outdoor experiences in Iceland.
