All about the trip

Join our small group for a stand-up paddleboard adventure on the magical 100 km long Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West-Iceland. This location truly has everything the diverse nature in Iceland has to offer, such as sparkling fjords, vast lava fields, wildlife, glistening glaciers, tons of black and golden beaches and towns and villages with friendly folk.

Stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP, is an activity for everyone and there is no need for prior experience as we’ll teach you the technique. This particular SUP tour is around 12 hours so it is a full day of adventures.

Your guide will be picking you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik and you’ll be driving through incredible nature with amazing views around Snæfellsjökull Glacier and stopping at various iconic places including Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall and the towns Stykkishólmur and Arnarstapi.

The stand-up paddleboarding will take place at the renowned Kirkjufell which is amongst the most photographed mountains in Iceland. This SUP location is absolutely idyllic, with breathtaking views and picturesque landscape.
