This glacier tour is provided by our local friends at Ice Guide.

The glacier tour starts and ends at Ice Guide base camp at Smyrlabjörg Country Hotel. On the tour we step on one of the icebergs and take a short walk, overlooking the lagoon and surrounding area. Heinabergslón is “out of the beaten path”.

Our Kayaks are SIT-ON-TOP boats, very stable and are suitable for first time kayakers as well.

The tour takes 3.5 hours in total, with approx. 2 hours on the boat. The age limit is 14 years.

Reasonable fitness is required for the kayak tours. Oversized people can expect having problems fitting our suits. Weight limit for the kayak tours is 120kg and our biggest suits are the size of XXL.

For safety reasons participants cannot exceed 120 kg (270 lbs) in weight for single kayaks or 180 kg (395lbs) combined weight for tandem kayaks.
