Begin your adventure at the base in Gufunes, Reykjavík, where you’ll be welcomed by friendly and experienced local guides. Get fully geared up in top-quality dry suits, warm fleece layers, gloves, footwear, life vests, and helmets with built-in communication systems to keep you warm, dry, and connected throughout the ride.
Once suited up and after a comprehensive safety briefing, hop on a stable and easy-to-operate jet ski and set out across the stunning waters of Faxaflói Bay. As you cruise along Reykjavík’s scenic coastline, enjoy spectacular views of the city’s skyline, vibrant sea, and distant mountains—a perspective of Iceland that few visitors get to see from the water.

Here, have the chance to watch these charming birds in their natural habitat, flying, diving, and nesting around the rocky outcrops. To enhance your wildlife experience we will provide compact binoculars and capture fantastic photos so you can focus on the moment.
