This incredible tour will take you to the foot of the Sólheimajökull Glacier, one of the most majestic places in Iceland. You will be able to glide across the icy waters, weave in and out of the icebergs and enjoy incredible views of the majestic glacier outlet.
Meet your group and your friendly guide in the Sólheimajökull glacier parking lot. You will be equipped with a dry suit and a life vest and shown the basic technique needed to maneuver the kayak. We use sit-on-tops kayaks, that are very stable and easy to steer. You don’t need to have previous kayaking experience.
As you push away from the shore, you will enter the amazing world of the iceberg-filled glacier lagoon. Your guide will lead you around the glacier between the icebergs and tell you all about the area’s history and future. You will have the opportunity to admire these natural wonders from a perspective that can only be seen while on the water. After 1,5 hours of gliding along the still surface of the lagoon, you’ll head back to shore with a lifetime of memories.
