Exceptional tour with great views

We did both the kayak and glacier hike tours. The kayak tour of icebergs in the lagoon were a beautiful sight to be up close. It was relaxing! The glacier hike was amazing. Our guide Þóris was exceptional! His knowledge and love of the glacier and natural landscape around was great to learn. The hike was fairly easy and very different from the other glacier hikes. We loved it! They did give you 1.5 hrs in between both to eat(food and bathrooms avail) as well as a walk across the street to Diamond beach. Great day!

Amazing Experience-BOOK THIS ONE!!!

We HIGHLY recommend this combo! We were lucky enough to book the combo with wonderful Kayaking Guides, Beth and Orestis; along with an outstanding Glacier Guide, Aron (a native Icelander). The gear provided for both experiences was perfect. We were warm, dry, and comfortable (even though it rained on us for a portion of the kayaking tour). What an unforgettable and spectacular day--from being on the water with beautiful icebergs to breathtaking views at the top of the glacier. Just WOW!

Weather forced the...

Weather forced the cancellation of the Kayak portion of the tour. We rescheduled the glacier hike portion due to safety concerns for the next day. Hike was one of the highlights of our trip.

Kayaking

Me and my partner just did the kayaking. The weather was very rainy, bit no wind. Stefan our guide was very experienced and made us all feel safe. We saw over 12 harbour seals and the icebergs are amazing. Want to go again on a sunny day. Loved it
