Don’t miss out on your opportunity to experience the “Crown Jewel of Iceland”, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, all from your very own kayak!

What’s not to love?For those who are concerned about kayaking (particularly those who have never tried the sport before), there is absolutely no reason to fear. This excursion is fully guided by a knowledgeable, qualified and English-speaking tour leader who will be quick not only to provide you with all necessary equipment, including a dry suit, kayak and paddles, but will also teach you about the area’s incredible culture and history.As an added security, this tour only uses SIT ON TOP kayaks, a particular type that is far wider than usual, thus more stable. You will have the option to ride in a kayak with a buddy, or go solo. Kayaking atop the lagoon’s gentle, still surface, you will pass a wealth of fantastical sights; with Arctic terns and skuas flying overhead, and seals bobbing gently in the water around you, you’ll have trouble decided where to look—the picturesque scenery? The vibrant wildlife? The astonishing floating icebergs? Nowhere else in Iceland can match Jökulsárlón for its eclectic beauty. After your time kayaking on the lagoon is over, you are recommended to check out the nearby Diamond Beach, found only a few minutes walk away from the lagoon. Here, icebergs that float out from Jökulsárlón often washed ashore onto the beach’s black volcanic sands, making for a fantastic, stark contrast in colour. So, time to paddle up-creek with this fantastic kayaking tour at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, one of the most beautiful natural sites to be found in Iceland.

Whether you are an old hand at kayaking or a complete beginner, you'll undoubtedly enjoy our one to three-hour “Robinson Crusoe” trips. This is a guideless, short excursion is well suited for families, couples, and individuals who have always dreamed of doing a bit of kayaking on their own in a safe paddling environment. The tour begins at our base in the centre Stokkseyri, a picturesque seaside town, 40 minutes drive south-east of Reykjavik. After suiting up in warm overalls, gloves and life vest, our experienced instructors will teach you everything you need to know- paddling techniques, how to manoeuvre your kayak and the basic safety rules. Our comfortable sit-on-top kayaks are known for their ease of handling and are ideally suited for families with children or for those who are new to the sport. This relaxing excursion will bring you into close proximity to a large number of nesting birds that flock to the area every summer to breed including dunlin, snipe, black-tailed godwit and a variety of seabirds who will accompany you as you spend a relaxing few hours paddling through the shallow inland canals at the edge of Löngudæl Lake. Summer is, of course, the best time make use of the 24 hour daylight in this tranquil and serene setting, winding your way through a maze of canals that eventually lead you right back to where you started. When the weather is good, no less than four of Iceland’s best-known glaciers are visible in the distance─ Langjökull, Tindfjallajökull, Myrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull glaciers. The Eyjafjallajökull icecap hides a volcano that last erupted in 2010 and made headlines around the world for its unpronounceable name and ability to bring European air traffic to a complete standstill. The village of Stokkseyri (pop. 497) was founded around 900 AD and is one of Iceland’s oldest continuously inhabited villages. Centuries later, it was to become the most important trading and fishing centre in the entire country. Situated at the edge of the Great Þjórsá Lava field, Stokkseyri is home to the largest existing lava flow known to have occurred in Iceland as a result of a single eruption that occurred some 8600 years ago. At the end of the tour, participants are offered free entrance to the Stokkseyri swimming pool and hot tubs, along with complimentary coffee or hot chocolate.

The Power Challenge Circle Tour is an exciting 2-hour guided tour geared at those at an intermediate skill level, ages 14 and up. Experience the thrill of paddling out to sea, yet staying safely within the boundaries of the quiet lagoons in this very scenic and bio-diverse habitat. Far offshore, you can hear the Atlantic breakers pounding the ridge of submerged lava, part of a 25 km long lava “barrier reef” from The Great Þjórsá flow─the largest existing lava flow ever recorded in Iceland as a result of a single eruption. The day starts off at our headquarters in the village of Stokkseyri, a mere 40-minute drive from Reykjavík. Here you will meet your guide, and after suiting up in warm overalls, gloves and life vest, you will be briefed on the day’s activities. We only use comfortable sit-on-top kayaks that are known for their ease of handling and are ideally suited for everyone, from beginners to skilled kayakers. With your guide leading the way, you will paddle across the calm waters of Lake Löngudæl, through narrow, winding canals, down the gently flowing Hraunsá River and on out to sea.Now we have entered a very different habitat where seals can often be seen lazing about on seaweed laden skerries, while swans, eider ducks and a whole panoply of seabirds and waders feed nearby. The more curious seals have been known sometimes to follow our kayaks as we make our way across the lagoon! We will have time to explore the area, take photos, and, if conditions are optimal, we will take a closer look at the kelp and dulse, types of wild seaweeds that grow in the area. In the final leg of our journey we will paddle over to Stokkseyri harbour, 3 to 4 km away, (depending on the tides) where we will disembark and then take the 2-minute walk back to headquarters. At the end of the tour, we'll head to the Stokkseyri swimming pool to relax in the hot tubs, and enjoy hot drinks to warm up after the trip.
