South Africans kayak around Iceland in March 2011

Riaan Manser circumvented the African continent, some 37,000 km, on a bicycle 2003-2005. Now this brave South African is heading for Iceland 16 March with the intent to kayak around Iceland.

This time he's going to take his protege Dan Skinstad with him on this adventure. The duo will be accompanied by a crew of six photographers.

One of their main concerns is not to get eaten by an orca whale, same whale as starred in the Hollywood movie Free Willy. Other concerns are to meet Bjork and have to listen to her, the freezing water and temperamental volcanoes.

None of the above will stop Riaan and Skinstad from setting off on their journey around Iceland in a Kayak.

Riaan's partner Dan was born prematurely and suffers from a mild form of cerebral palsy.

Riaan and Dan - if you read this post, please contact us at Reykjavik Bike Tours. We'd love to meet you and show you our city from the saddle of a bike.
