SUP Into the Forgotten Fjords One-day tour

Description

Hvalfjörður // SUP INTO THE FJORDS
SUP trip into the forgotten fjord Hvalfjörður, one of the longest and most beautiful fjord in Iceland. Famous for his war and whaling history and it´s also the home of Glymur, the highest waterfall in Iceland. The area where we SUP is especially quiet and tranquil with few people around.

Join the adventure and explore the best of Iceland in amazing landscape on a stand up paddle board. That´s where you see things differently.

Our main focus is on choosing beautiful and epic locations for our tours dependent on weather that day, as the arctic weather can indeed be highly unpredictable. Our local sup guides have been in the travel and water sport industry for many years and they specialize in forecasting the weather and choosing the best spots for our customers.

No experience with stand up paddle / sup ? No worries, we customize the tours around our customers and our professional trained guides will teach you everything you need to know and learn. That´s the best with SUP, everybody can do it….And believe us, you can!
