Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon Ice Floating – French
The Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon Ice Floating Experience is the first of its kind in Iceland. Step into a world of serenity at Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where stillness meets adventure. Dressed in a special immersion suit, you’ll float safely and comfortably among drifting icebergs, surrounded by the majestic outlet glacier of Vatnajökull National Park.
Float Safely Among the Icebergs on the Ice Floating Tour
Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon ice floating is a unique floating experience in South Iceland. It offers you a moment of weightless calm, a chance to disconnect and reset both body and mind. Feel the rhythm of the icy water, breathe in the pure glacier air, and let the peaceful surroundings work their quiet magic. Your adventure begins at our tour reception by Fjallsárlón, where your guide will greet you. A short walk takes you down to the glacier lagoon, where you’ll receive a safety briefing and your floatation suit. When you are all dressed and ready, you will gently enter the water. During this adventure, you will experience the incredible sensation of floating among icebergs, safely supervised by your professional guide. Afterward, we’ll return to the reception area to warm up and enjoy a complimentary hot drink at our cozy Frost Restaurant.
