Combine Iceland’s Iconic South Coast Sights With Kayaking
During this South Coast tour, you can get away from the crowds and view the glacier features from a perspective that few others are able to enjoy. Paddling among the always-changing icebergs of this newly formed glacier lagoon, gives you a first-hand experience of the massive glacial retreat in recent years. Our Sit-on-Top kayaks are very stable, and do not require prior kayaking experience. Before boarding, your certified kayaking guides will teach you the basic paddling technique and provide you with a dry suit. Whilst on this drive from Reykjavík, we also give you the opportunity to visit the picturesque waterfalls of Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss.
Truly an experience of a lifetime which only few places in the world offer.
