Nice being on the Water - It was very nice to get out on the water and feel the openness . We seen some seals in the water and on a small island, which was great to see some wildlife. Had great time.

An Amazing Time Kayaking near Kirkjufell!! - We had an absolutely wonderful time kayaking around Kirkjufell! The weather and conditions were perfect. Greg was an amazing guide! He was so knowledgeable about not only the area but had amazing facts about Iceland as a whole! The process to get ready and into the water was seamless and we were greeted with hot chocolate and cookies afterwards! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is in the area as a wonderful way to take in all of the natural beauty!

Ocean Kayaking in Iceland Fun! - We had no trouble finding the spot to Kayak which was only a couple of minutes walk from the tender drop off point. Sonny and Greg were terrific guides and walked us through the entire experience from getting donned in our wetsuits to getting in and out of the ocean inlet we were kayaking in. One of our friends was kayaking for the first time and they made her feel very comfortable and she quickly gained confidence despite kayaking in an ocean! Beautiful views, great info from the guides and we saw some seals nearby in the water with us also. A totally fabulous time!

Waterside views of amazing natural scenery and birdlife - Greg led us on a delightful kayak tour of the waters around Mt Kirkjufell. Stunning scenery! Good bird and seal sightings. Greg's explanations and stories were very good, and just the right amount. Getting set up to go in the kayaks was done in a really positive way. The equipment is excellent. Highly recommended!

Fun way to start the day! - This was such a fun experience and our guide, Sonne (I hope I spelled it right), was full of fun information. I originally booked a later time slot, but I was the only one signed up, so they gave me a couple of options. It all worked out in the end. No worries. We were on the water for 70 minutes and even stopped for a little special snack. Hot chocolate and cookies were provided at the end of the tour. Our guide also told us of other things to do in the area.

Good if you're an experienced solo kayak user - It was OK. I was disappointed that there was only one 2-person kayak available and I didn't get it, so I had to use a 1-person kayak, which I'd never done before so I was very slow in paddling it. I felt bad that I held up the rest of the group. It wasn't clear from the description of this activity that most participants would use 1-person kayaks. The 2 guides were friendly and tried to be helpful. Overall the activity did not last as long as had been described. What I enjoyed most was seeing seals close up.
