All about the trip

The bay of Ísafjarðardjúp offers excellent kayaking. The serene beauty of the fjord system is well-known by locals but unfamiliar to the outside world. The coast of Snæfjallaströnd gives you the feeling that you are close to the Arctic Circle with the snow-covered hills and the fifth largest glacier in Iceland just around the corner.

We travel the whole length of Seyðisfjörður fjord, around the Folafótur (e. Horse Leg) peninsula and into Hestfjörður fjord. Along the way, we often spot whales, seals, dolphins, and a huge variety of seabirds. Paddle under the cliffs which guard the mountain of Hestur while listening carefully for distant barks of the Arctic fox.

Enjoy your lunch on the Folafótur peninsula which holds a rich history. Over 100 people lived here and the ruins of their settlement are still visible today.
