Description
Paddle among icebergs on Fjallsarlon Glacier Lagoon in Vatnajokull National Park on this small-group kayaking tour. No kayaking experience is needed.
Fjallsarlon Glacier Lagoon is fed by Fjallsjokull Glacier, which flows down from Oraefajokull Volcano, the tallest volcano in Iceland and home to its highest peak. Its icebergs are streaked with volcanic ash.
The tour starts at the Fjallsjokull Viewpoint, next to the lagoon. Here, your guide shows you how to use the equipment safely. The boats are packrafts, a type of inflatable kayak, and both single and double kayaks are available.
Then you carry your boat, which weighs 11 pounds (5 kilograms), about 220 yards (200 meters) to the water and set off across the lagoon.
Your guide leads you to the best spots on the lagoon as you paddle through a maze of icebergs. In some places, you can paddle right up to the icebergs and touch the smaller ones, while the larger ones are avoided for safety.
After about an hour on the water, you paddle back to shore and carry your boat back to the meeting point.
