Magical! The lagoon is beautiful and unlike any other kayaking experience I’ve ever had! Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. This is a must do during your trip to Iceland.
Really a unique experience. Loved it. How often do you get to paddle around icebergs and with seals?
Fun activity for a family traveling with young adult children. We are novice kayakers but felt like we were given enough instruction to enjoy the experience. Easy to spend several hours in the area and worth a stop!
Our original one hour tour was cancelled due to unsafe wind conditions. They gave us an option for a longer tour at same price in a secluded bay with no wind. Two guides knowledgeable and personal. The one guide encouraged everyone on the water to be still for two minutes, put our phones and listen to the sounds of the glacier and water. It was beautiful. He later put on an Italian song for tourists who broke put on song in the bus...It was very memorable. They were respectful of other time commitments and reservations we had.
Fabio and Nico were great! Fabio was charming and gave us lots of information about the lagoon and icebergs and Nico watched over the group to ensure that we were safe and our gear was properly fitted and working. The scenary was so spectacular that we barely noticed the presence of other boats on the lagoon. Would definitely recommend.
We really enjoyed our kayaking guide and the experience was really fun. We also had beautiful weather so it made the experience even more enjoyable.
The one part of the experience that deferred from what was advertised was that you could not get close enough to the icebergs to actually touch them for safety reasons. This is not a reflection of the tour management, mostly an observation because the pictures shows the kayakers touching the icebergs
Otherwise, it was a very relaxing awe-inspiring experience.
Well, my experience sucked simply because the tent was empty. Nobody was there and I never got a refund. I requested a refund. It’s been a week and I still haven’t gotten one so I guess I’ll just leave a negative review up here until it happens.

Absolutely beautiful way to see the glacier! Guide was very knowledgeable and made my family feel safe!
Because of much fog and permanent rain, we could not paddle as normal for safety reasons, many motorboattours are on the laggoon too. So we often stopped to have a very long look at the ice in the lagoon. We didn't even see the end of the glacier. So put on many layers of clothes if you have the same weather conditions. On a bright day it must be a highlight.
Very unique experience - more touristy than I wish it was, but it is what it is. That is all I wish to say but it’s making me put more text due to a limit.
Based on the comments, one of them scared us saying that the lake would be very crowded, not at all, very far from reality. There were only the 12 of us who started the activity at the same time, and that was at the end of July. Also, we thought we weren't going to see icebergs, and there they were. And the views are spectacular. Hats off to the guides as well. Thanks for everything.

It is kayaking so paddling. But the pleasure is especially to be in the middle of the waves surrounded by seals that appear near the kayak along the way.
