Description

Explore the tranquil waters of the Solheimajokull glacier lagoon with this 2.5-hour meet-on-location kayaking tour. Travelers seeking an exciting activity in a stunning, iceberg-dotted lagoon on the South Coast of Iceland should book this tour now.

Your excursion begins when you meet your expert guide and the rest of the participants at the operator's Solheimajokull base camp. The starting point is next to the Solheimajukull parking lot, 101 miles (164 kilometers) from Reykjavik.

This tour offers a small-group experience for a maximum of eight people. The small group size ensures quality interaction with your English-speaking guide throughout the excursion.

First, your expert guide will give you a kayak, paddle, and a dry suit to keep you warm during the tour. The tour operator has single and double kayaks, and your guide will decide how best to divide the kayaks between participants.

You'll also receive a safety briefing, and your guide will show you the basic paddling technique. The kayaks are sit-on-top style and easy to steer, so prior experience isn't necessary.

Next, it's time to begin kayaking across the calm waters of the Solheimajokull glacier lagoon. Although the tour is rated as easy, the wind strength can affect the difficulty level.

Many people come to see the Solheimajokull glacier, which is loved for its accessibility from Reykjavik and beautiful views. You'll enjoy excellent glacier vistas from the water, a vantage point unavailable to other visitors.

Solheimajokull is an outlet glacier of the mighty Myrdalsjokull ice cap. Meltwater from the glacier forms the lagoon, which constantly grows in size. It's a breathtaking sight, yet a reminder of the impact of climate change.

Kayaking is ideal for active travelers and also those seeking a meditative-like activity. You'll feel relaxed and energized as you glide across the water. Listen to the water gently lapping against the kayak's sides as you immerse yourself in the gorgeous natural setting.

Icebergs are scattered around the lagoon, adding to its allure. While you might expect them to be white, they can also be streaked with black or a brilliant blue. The landscape is ever-changing, ensuring a unique and memorable experience.

Take your time to marvel at the picture-perfect scenery around you. Your guide will lead you to the best spots to take in the otherworldly surroundings. 

The active part of the tour lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. After an unforgettable excursion, you'll head back to the operator's base, where the tour officially ends. From there, you're free to continue your adventures in Iceland.

Don't miss the chance to join this fantastic 2.5-hour kayaking tour at the Solheimajokull glacier lagoon, which is suitable for all levels. Check availability now by choosing a date.
