Duration: 03:00 hours


Description

Experience the beauty of Sólheimajökull by kayak. You can take a closer look at the icebergs and surrounding landscape as you paddle on a glacier lagoon on Iceland’s south coast.
Your tour will begin as you meet your expert kayaking guide at the Sólheimajökull parking lot. From here, you will be equipped with a dry suit before being shown the basic techniques to manoeuvre in your kayak.

These sit-on-top kayaks are extremely easy to steer, and no previous kayaking experience is required. Once on the kayak and you push off into the lagoon, you’ll be immediately immersed into a world of iceberg-filled calm waters, with breathtaking views of the Sólheimajökull Glacier, which is only able to be seen while on water.

After a few hours of gliding along the stillness of the lagoon, you will head back to shore having collected some unforgettable memories.
