What to expect?
Join the adventure and explore the best of Iceland from a different perspective. Surrounded by the mesmerising landscapes of the forgotten fjord on a stand-up paddleboard. The Fjord is known for its unique beauty with canyons and waterfalls, taking you on a breathtaking journey through history and nature. The area in which we will SUP is tranquil, away from the hustle and bustle, with only a few people around.
Yes, it might be a little colder here than the places people usually go to Stand-Up Paddleboard, but the breathtaking scenery will make you forget all about that and focus on the majestic landscape and soothing sounds of the untouched, pure nature that Iceland has to offer.
Our primary focus for you is choosing beautiful and epic locations for our tours. As the northern weather can indeed be highly unpredictable, we work with the best local SUP guides, who have been in the travel and water sports industry for many years, to follow the weather forecast and choose the best spots for our adventure.
