About tour
In one day, you'll meet Iceland's ice two ways: kayaking among drifting icebergs on Fjallsárlón lagoon, then hiking onto Falljökull glacier at Skaftafell. Fjallsárlón is the quieter neighbor of nearby Jökulsárlón, and at water level you'll paddle right up to the icebergs and hear them creak and shift around you. Groups are capped at six, and your guide covers the basics first, so no experience is needed.
For the glacier hike, you'll drive on to Skaftafell in Vatnajökull National Park and step onto Falljökull, an outlet of the Vatnajökull ice cap, Europe's largest by volume. With crampons on and a certified guide alongside, you'll look into deep crevasses and learn how these glaciers form, move, and retreat.
