Why it's on Icebreaker

Glacier Kayaking at Heinabergslón

Kayaking a glacier lagoon gets you in among the ice without the sweat of a hike or climb. The paddling keeps your blood moving but is chill enough that your energy goes on the scenery, and the kayaks are sturdier than they look. Iceguide, guides from the Höfn area who told us years ago they would sooner keep groups small than compromise the experience, run this one on Heinabergslón, a lagoon under Vatnajökull far enough off the beaten path that nobody else is on the water. Meet at Gerði Guesthouse, get into a drysuit, paddle among the ice and, with glacier gear on, step onto an iceberg for a short walk. Three and a half hours; minimum age 14. A shorter, easier paddle runs on Jökulsárlón.

From the Icebreaker app, curated with The Reykjavík Grapevine.
