Kayaking in Iceland ranges from a quiet paddle among icebergs on a glacier lagoon to exploring the calmer waters of a fjord in the Westfjords or Snæfellsnes. Most tours need no previous kayaking experience, just a willingness to get on the water.

Glacier lagoon kayaking, such as at Jökulsárlón or Fjallsárlón, puts you close to floating icebergs at water level, which is a different view from a boat tour or the shore.
Fjord and coastal kayaking is calmer and often combined with wildlife spotting, seals in particular are common along the coast.
Wetsuits and drysuits are provided for lagoon tours given the cold water. Dress in warm layers underneath and bring a change of clothes for afterwards.
Most tours run from spring through autumn. Winter kayaking is limited and weather-dependent.
No, most tours are suitable for beginners and include a short briefing before you launch.
Guides choose routes and keep distance from unstable ice. Safety gear and a briefing are part of every tour.
Warm base layers under the wetsuit or drysuit provided, plus a change of dry clothes for after the tour.
Spring through autumn is most common. Winter tours run less often and depend heavily on conditions.
Some tours allow children with an accompanying adult; check the minimum age on the specific tour.
