Top Skaftafell On the Water

Many glacier tours in Vatnajökull National Park require travelers to walk from the parking lot to the glacier terminus, eating into their time on the ice. On this tour, maximize your time on Falljökull glacier by traveling as near as possible in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Explore moulins, crevasses, and other formations in the company of an Association of Icelandic Mountain Guides-certified guide.

This is a great pick for adventurous travelers. Combine glacier hiking and kayaking in a day to save time and make the most of your time in Iceland. First, go on a scenic hike to a glacier lagoon with a guide to take care of the navigating. Then, paddle along a glacier lake where you can hike on glacier ice. No need to worry about buying specialist gear, as a drysuit, packraft, paddle, and personal flotation device are provided.
