The Ice floating at Fjallsárlón tour we started at Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon is a brand new activity in Iceland. This fantastic activity of floating in a protection suit in the icy water has been done for many years in other places but has finally made it´s way to Iceland.
We provide our guests with an immersion suit, also known as a survival suit, for the ice floating experience. This is a type of dry suit, meaning you can comfortably wear your own clothes underneath it.
The survival suit is designed with extreme thermal capabilities to keep you warm, even in near 0°C water, and possesses strong buoyancy to ensure you float safely at all times. It is made of neoprene, a material known for its excellent insulating and floating properties.
This protective gear is designed to be easy to put on and is not overly tight, ensuring a comfortable fit. Our specialized protection suits are designed to keep you warm and comfortable. They include integrated protection for your hands and feet, as well as a hood. For enhanced relaxation and support while floating in the water, a pillow is built in behind the head.
While other water protection gear like wetsuits exist, they are unsuitable for ice floating. A wetsuit, designed for warmer water, will get you wet and doesn’t offer the necessary flotation. A regular drysuit would keep you warmer but also lacks the essential flotation capability. Therefore, for our ice floating tour at Fjallsarlon, we specifically use a survival suit or immersion suit, which provides both warmth and the required flotation.
Fjallsárlón iceberg lagoon offers a unique experience, sharing the relaxing atmosphere of a swimming pool but with a breathtaking twist. Equipped with our safety gear, you can swim safely and confidently among the icebergs. Our dedicated guides will be with you throughout the entire experience, providing assistance as you enter and exit the water and ensuring your secure and enjoyable float alongside the stunning winter ice and icebergs.
At Fjallsárlón, we are all about adventure, wild landscapes, and getting up close to Iceland’s raw nature. Our home turf is Southeast Iceland, and we have plenty of activities to offer, but we also believe everyone with extra time should explore Iceland to the fullest. So, for those with a week to spare, North Iceland… Continue reading Spend a Week in North Iceland Without Rushing
FjallsárlónAt Fjallsárlón, we know a thing or two about epic Icelandic adventures. While our home base is the breathtaking Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon in the southeast, we are also passionate about exploring every wild corner of this incredible country, including the untamed wonders of Northern Iceland.
FjallsárlónAs explorers and locals at Fjallsárlón, we spend our days surrounded by icebergs, glaciers, and the endless drama of Southeast Iceland’s wild landscapes. And, if there is one thing we see over and over, it is travelers zipping through the region on a rushed South Coast itinerary – snapping photos at Jökulsárlón and then dashing back to Reykjavík.
