This Ísafjörður kayaking and biking tour combines two ways to see the Westfjords in one day: paddling the fjord by kayak, then mountain biking into the forest and hills of Tungudalur valley.
This tour splits the day between two activities: kayaking on the fjord that Ísafjörður sits on, and mountain biking into the valley behind the town. It is a good way to see the Westfjords landscape from the water and from the trail in the same day.
On the water you paddle about 6 km along the shoreline of Ísafjarðardjúp, with a chance to spot Arctic terns, eider ducks, cormorants, black guillemots and sometimes seals. On the bike you ride about 11 km, passing avalanche barriers on the mountainside before dropping into Tungudalur valley, riding through forest and along the Buná river.
The order of kayaking and biking can change depending on weather and group logistics, and the guide adjusts the route to the group's ability, so it suits people without much prior kayaking or biking experience. Westfjords weather changes quickly, so dress in layers and bring something waterproof even in summer.
No, the guide adjusts the pace and route to the group, so this suits people without much prior experience.

All kayaking gear, a mountain bike and helmet, and a professional guide.

Had a blast on this tour in Isafjordur on our Ring Road drive in August 2024. We decided to spend a full day in Isafjordur (we were driving almost every day on our trip) and wanted to relax but still do something exciting. I am so happy that Heida recommended this tour to us. The guide we met was great and all four of us had a fantastic time.
