We meet up in Isafjordur 09:00. The guide will provide required information and gear for the guests. We pack our gear and lunch in our backpacks. Afterwards, we will jump in our camper van and drive at the beginning of the hike. The hike will be around 1 hour long one way.

When reaching the lake your guide will set up towing gear for wakeboarding. We will ride in teams of 2. Your guide will give a lesson on the shore and instructions how to assist each other in the water. Guide will control towing device, observe guests who are riding, give tips for improvement, will assist in the water if needed.

If group is bigger then 2 guests, it is a great opportunity for others to hike around this wonderful lake or use your snorkel and mask!

While hiking we can expect to meet rock ptarmigan, common snipe, whooper swan, several species of geese, golden plover, several species of gulls, arctic tern.

If it is your first-time enjoying water sports and you have difficulty standing up on the wakeboard or water skies, we will provide beginner friendly knee board which is great to practice first steps.
