Tour Description

Spend a full day immersed in the raw beauty of Southeast Iceland with this unique combo tour that combines kayaking on Heinaberg Lagoon with a guided glacier hike on Breiðamerkurjökull. Both tours depart from the same convenient meeting point at Tröll Expeditions – Glacier Lagoon, Jökulsárlón, making your transition between adventures seamless and easy.

We begin by kayaking on the secluded Heinaberg Lagoon, a hidden gem surrounded by dramatic mountains and remote glacier tongues. This lesser-known glacial lagoon offers an incredibly peaceful paddling experience as you weave between icebergs, soak in panoramic views, and explore ice formations up close — all under the guidance of experienced kayaking instructors.

After a short break and time to switch gear, we lace up our hiking boots for the second part of your adventure: a glacier hike on Breiðamerkurjökull. This majestic outlet glacier stretches from the mighty Vatnajökull and invites you to explore a world of deep crevasses, blue ice formations, and stunning frozen landscapes. With crampons, helmets, and harnesses provided, you’ll walk safely across the glacier alongside expert guides who share insights into the glacier’s formation, features, and future.

This is a combo of two separate guided tours, both approximately 3.5 hours long. The transition between activities is coordinated and smooth — and since both start from the same meeting location, there’s no need for additional travel between sites.

All necessary glacier and kayaking equipment is provided, including drysuits for kayaking, safety gear, crampons, helmets, and ice axes. Participants must be at least 14 years old and comfortable with moderate physical activity.
