The sit on top kayaks are excellent for beginners and for people with a little experience. Good safety checks and advice before leaving to the end of the trip back at the lodge.

We went kayaking down Svartá river for your girls birthday, she just turned 8. She started the trip out in tow but about halfway down the river she wanted to try for herself and finished the tour kayaking on her own. Our five year old boy was in tow the whole time and loved it. He wants to go again as soon as possible. It was a great experience for the whole family and we will most definitely try some of the other tours :)La experiencia en kayak estuvo muy divertida!

La experiencia en kayak estuvo muy divertida! Nos caímos y nos mojamos varias veces! El guía era súper divertido (no nos acordamos de su nombre, pero el era de Nepal) y siempre estuvo al pendiente de nosotros, nos tomó fotos y videos increíbles. Terminamos en el jacuzzi donde nos calentamos después del agua fría y de las casi 2 horas de recorrido.27th July 2023. Great oportunity to experience icleandic nature.
