Full-Day Kayak and Bike Tour in the Icelandic Fjords

Bike and Kayak Combo

Overview

The Bike and Kayak Combo is a full day, beginner friendly adventure that pairs calm water paddling with an easy mountain bike ride. Over 7 hours, you will explore the fjord from the water, then switch gears after lunch to ride scenic trails with big views.

🗺️ What to Expect

Your day begins with relaxed kayaking on calm water, following an easy route along the shores of the fjord. This is a fantastic stretch for wildlife spotting, with chances to see Arctic Terns, Eider Ducks, Cormorants, Black Guillemots, and a curious seal colony that lives at the end of the fjord. As you paddle beneath towering mountains, you will also take in a unique perspective of the town from the water.

After a break for lunch, you will don a helmet and head out on the mountain bike portion. The ride follows easy trails along the mountainsides and through a rare Icelandic forest. Views across the water are stunning, and on clear days you can see across the ocean to the snowy mountains of the Snæfjallaströnd coastline. The trail is easy to mix and match, so your guide can include or avoid certain sections depending on ability.
