Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon Kayaking
Feel free to contact us
Description
Kayaking at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is one of the most memorable ways to experience Iceland's iceberg scenery. Instead of only watching the lagoon from the shore, you paddle on the water among floating ice and glacier views.
The experience is calm, scenic and highly visual, with a completely different feeling from a standard boat tour. It is ideal for travellers who want a more active and intimate connection with the glacier lagoon.
Choose this tour if Jökulsárlón is a highlight of your South Iceland route and you want to do something more immersive than a viewpoint stop.

Kayaking at The Glacier Lagoon - Frequently Asked Questions
Jökulsárlón is famous for floating icebergs that break from Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull. The mix of glacier ice, black sand and deep blue water makes it one of Iceland's most memorable places.
Yes. This style of tour is centred on Jökulsárlón and the ice scenery around the lagoon, with time to enjoy the landscape from a closer perspective.
Many Jökulsárlón tours include or allow time for Diamond Beach nearby, where pieces of glacier ice often wash onto black volcanic sand.
Very much so. The lagoon changes constantly as the ice moves, so every visit gives different shapes, colours and reflections.
