GLACIER LAGOON KAYAKING - JÖKULSÁRLÓN
The Jökulsárlón Glacier lagoon is considered as one of the natural wonders of Iceland. Paddling on the Glacier lagoon provides outstanding experience and gives participants a magnificent view of the ice cap and the vast dome of ice that rises above. A unique journey where we paddle amongst floating icebergs and wildlife, seals and birds.
This is the perfect tour for those who want to be environmentally friendly while exploring nature.
The Kayaks are SIT-ON-TOP boats, very stable and are suitable for first time kayakers. In the tours we use tandem kayaks (boat for two persons) for their safety, easy handling and stability. We also have single kayaks only in case of single travellers and/or odd number bookings. When booking, you select number of passengers, not boat or boat type. The type of boats will be chosen on spot accordingly by your guide, not upon request.
Available from May 15th – September 30th
KAYAK TOUR MEETING POINT is located in a box van at the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon main parking lot. We recommend being there at least 15 minutes before departure time. You will find the Iceguide meeting point on Google Maps here
