Vatnajökull Glacier Kayak Tour
Description
At your chosen time, we'll meet in front of the Hotel Smyrlabjörg. Once everyone's arrived, the guide will give us some tips on how to handle the kayaks and explain some safety measures that we'll need to follow.
We'll then head to the lagoon of the Vatnajökull glacier, which is one of Iceland's most important and famous glaciers. When we reach the shore, we'll start our kayak tour and row through the icy water as we admire incredible panoramic views of this spring and its surroundings.
In addition, we'll stop halfway through our journey to take a short walk on the Vatnajökull glacier and see this spectacular example of Icelandic nature from a unique perspective. You'll soon realise how enormous it is, occupying 10% of Iceland's surface area.
Our tour will finish as we return to the starting point after 3.5 hours of adventure.
Kayaks
The kayaks can be single or double kayaks. It depends on the availability of kayaks on the day of booking, and your skill in handling them.
