The Jökulsárlón Glacier lagoon is considered one of Iceland’s natural wonders. On this paddling experience you will move across the calm water of the lagoon and take in striking views of the surrounding ice cap and the vast dome of ice that rises above. The setting will give you close-up perspectives of the glacier landscape that are hard to see from the shore.

Along the way you will paddle among floating icebergs and encounter local wildlife. You will see seals and birds as you navigate between the chunks of ice. The trip focuses on the scenery and the immediate environment of the lagoon, letting you experience the scale and textures of the ice while observing the animals that live there.
