Iceland, known as the land of fire and ice, is a popular destination for those looking to explore glaciers. Located just north of the town of Vik on the South Coast, the Sólheimajökull Glacier offers a unique experience for both locals and tourists. While hiking across glaciers is a common activity, a kayaking tour provides a different perspective of Sólheimajökull.

Equipped with a dry suit and guided by experienced instructors, visitors can paddle into the glacier’s picturesque lagoon. Enjoy the stunning nature surrounding you as you navigate through the outlet glacier, marvel at the unique landscape, and pass by massive icebergs floating in the lagoon.

This excursion is perfect for beginners, as no prior kayaking experience is required. For more adventurous activities on the South Coast and in Iceland overall, check out other exciting options available.
