Glacier Lagoon Kayaking at Jökulsárlón with the Seal Whisperer
Fantastic tour and one of our favorites during our Iceland trip! Our guide, Veronika, is knowledgeable, entertaining, and kept us safe from any iceberg flipping perils. She is also a seal whisperer and this was verified with multiple seal sightings during our tour! Stay environmentally friendly and book a kayak tour with Iceguide. We highly recommend Veronika-you won’t regret it! We plan to book a private tour upon our return to the land of fire and ice :)

Had the best time!!
I had the BEST time exploring Heinabergslón lagoon with IceGuides via kayaks. Our group was led by Bjarni, and he was super friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and funny. He was passionate about the glaciers and navigated the lagoon like a pro. We were lucky to have a brand new chunk of ice which was still ice blue in colour, and got to paddle right up next to it. It was stunningly beautiful. Bjarni jokes that there may be dinosaur bones inside 😂. He also found us some caves we could safely back into to get a cool photo. We finished our tour by climbing onto a stable berg to take some fun photos.Much more intimate setting and peaceful experience than you would get at the big glacier lagoon.Some recommendations to others:- as a solo traveller I was in a solo kayak. I’m pretty fit, so I was able to keep up with the two-person kayaks, but if you’re not, you may fall behind the group.- teamwork makes the dream work… if you’re on the verge of divorce, tandem kayaking may not be for you.- definitely use the toilet before the tour starts. Just trust me.- they recommend 2 pairs of socks, I had one ultra-thick merino, and could have used two.Overall the entire experience was 10/10. Good balance of adventure and peacefulness. Would recommend.

A must-do activity in Iceland!
July 2024Amazing experience! Without a doubt, the best way to explore Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is by kayaking among the icebergs. You get to enjoy the scenery and the blue ice up close, avoiding the noise of crowds and vessels. The only negative was that the seals decided not to make an appearance that day, but the gorgeous weather and the sights made up for it. We went on the first morning tour. After we put on the waterproof suits and boots provided, our guide Frank (who was very helpful at all times) gave us a practical briefing before we set off. We climbed on our kayaks and off we paddled. We had to stay in the group but far enough from each other so that we cold take pictures. Plenty of photo opportunities. On that occasion at least, we were just 6 double kayaks. I found that de duration of the activity is just enough. We did not add the glacier walk because we had already tried that in Norway, though I'm sure it's also worth it. All in all, I can highly recommend this activity with Iceguide. By the way, it sells out fast in summer so book well ahead of your visit!

Reservamos la actividad con civitatis, operada por ellos y un 10!!! Nuestro guía (no recuerdo el nombre, pero era un chico joven de Polonia) fue encantador y muy profesional. La actividad aunque se nos hizo corta por lo increíble que fue, es super recomendable y nada masificada. El material lo tienen en muy buenas condiciones y ayuda a sobrellevar el frío. Muchas gracias!!

Best tour and guide!
Best tour ever! Veronika was a delightful guide, she was knowledgable, entertaining and always had a smile on her face. We would highly recommend requesting her for your tour! She goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best trip (she even attracts the seals)!

Incredible experience hiking/climbing on the glacier! Our guide, Laurent, was awesome. He was great at assessing the abilities of our group and helping us experience the absolute most possible. I would highly recommend this tour to those looking for an exciting challenge.

La mejor actividad para hacer en Islandia con los mejores guías. Kayak en un glaciar nada masificado; guías súper simpáticos y bien formados. Repetiría 100%

Glacier lagoon kayak!
The weather was unfortunately not on our side, it was pouring all day, but we still decided to go! We had a smaller tour as others had changed their minds due to weather. It was still super cool to see all the icebergs close up, our tour guide was very helpful, we even heard an iceberg either flipping or breaking off in the distance (it was a bit foggy so couldn’t see too far in the distance). This is an activity you must do when visiting the glacier lagoon!!

Great hike at skaftafell with Ian
We went to the Glacier Hike with Ian on the 20th of August, we were a small group of 4, which was great compared to big tours of 20 People we saw along the hike. Good equipment, great guide the tour was on top. Ian guided us through really nice spots and views. We hiked much further and higher than we expected which was great. There were several pauses along the way so it was just fine in term of speed.

A must do, it was so peaceful and beautiful
This kayaking trip with ice guide was one of our favorite experiences. B and Carolina were excellent guides and great to talk to. The kayaking was easy but also had some challenging sections which made the experience fun. We also got to dock on an iceberg and walk on it which was so much fun. I would recommend this to anyone it was so much fun.

The most amazing experience that we have had! I don’t have enough words to describe how beautiful it was! I highly recommend to book the kayaking through the glacier with them and Rory, our guide, was very careful with us. He explained us a lot about the glacier and he was very helpful with me because I didn’t know how to kayak.

Great experience. The scenery is unique, far from the crowds of Jökulsárlón Lagoon. The guides are smart. Kind, helpful, very good at making you feel like an explorer in wild and uncontaminated waters. All with great calm and relaxation. The best is the walk on the Iceberg, where you feel a bit like Roald Amundsen reaching the South Pole 😊✌️

Nous avons fait la sortie en Kayak le lundi 12 août 2024 dans la matinée. Très agréable promenade. Vues splendides sur les montagnes, le glacier et les icebergs. Nous avons même marché sur l’un d’eux. Nos deux guides étaient très sympathiques et professionnels. Ils nous ont donné beaucoup d’informations techniques et historiques au sujet du glacier et, de la formation et de la vie des icebergs. Nous recommandons vivement cette excursion. Margot et Thomas
