Iceland highlight! - I thoroughly enjoyed our kayaking tour with Fernanda. The experience from the water and having the opportunity to be up close to some of the icebergs was so special. We happened to have the best possible weather with beautiful sunshine, but we were well equipped with equipment for all sorts of weather. And Fernanda was so helpful by explaining and answering all of our questions about the landscape formation. This was a highlight of our trip!

Great kayaking adventure with Fernanda - Fernanda was a great guide for this kayaking adventure. She was super helpful getting us suited up and did great when a member of our party had issues during the kayak trip. She told good stories and gave us great info on the location. She also made sure to take great pictures of us. Highly recommend!

Great guide and experience - Kayaking on a glacier is an experience to remember for a really long time. Fernanda is an experienced, enthusiastic and super cute guide who made sure we were well prepared and safe. She gave us enough time and space to explore the glacier and gave pro-tips on taking photographs and videos so that it will seem like we know what we’re doing. Overall an experience and a guide to recommend. Thank you, Fernanda!

Amazing Kayaking Experience. - **Unforgettable Glacier Kayaking Experience!**
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an absolutely incredible time kayaking on the Solheimajokull Glacier Lagoon with Icelandic Mountain Guides! This was hands down one of the highlights of our Iceland trip.
Our guide, Dianela Bergaglio, was phenomenal – knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire experience. She went above and beyond by taking amazing photos for us, which we’ll treasure forever!
The company provided everything we needed: dry suits, boots, gloves – all top quality gear that kept us warm and dry. We got up close and personal with massive icebergs, paddling through the stunning glacial lagoon surrounded by breathtaking ice formations. The scenery was absolutely spectacular, and being right there among the icebergs is something you just can’t capture in words or photos (though Dianela certainly tried her best with the camera!).
The whole experience was perfectly organized, safe, and truly magical. Whether you’re an experienced kayaker or a first-timer, this tour is a must-do in Iceland.
Highly recommend Icelandic Mountain Guides and specifically requesting Dianela as your guide if you can – she made an already amazing experience even better!

Amazing, breathtaking, peaceful - Me and my partner Greg absolutely loved the experience. We had the best guide Dianela Bergaglio who took us around the glacier and icebergs. Also gave us the best knowledge and facts. If you come to Iceland, book this straight away and with Dianela Bergaglio.

Glacier, Icebergs and adventure - An activity that you can not miss, see the glacier so close and the icebergs is amazing, our group was only 6 people and the best thing is that our super professional Sebastian guide gave us a lot of valuable information about the place and how to row without risk, totally recommended 👌🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏👏🏼
