Ice Floating tours (NEW in Iceland)

There's a brand new addition to the line-up of activities in South Iceland, and it's the first of its kind in the country. Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon, tucked beneath the southern edge of Vatnajökull, has launched an Ice Floating experience: a guided activity where guests float among drifting icebergs in a specially designed immersion suit.

The concept is well established in countries like Finland and Norway, but Fjallsárlón is the first operator to bring it to Iceland. It's a quiet, almost meditative experience rather than an adrenaline-led one, and it's a strong fit for travellers looking for something genuinely new on the South Coast.

The experience at a glance

Duration: approximately 1.5 hours, with 20–30 minutes in the water
Location: Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon, just off Route 1
Includes: floatation suit, professional guide, safety briefing, and a complimentary hot drink at Frost Restaurant afterwards
Age range: 15–75 years

The tour suits small groups and slower-paced itineraries. For trade partners building South Coast programmes around Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach and Vatnajökull National Park, ice floating offers a fresh anchor activity that pairs well with iceberg boat tours, glacier hikes and overnight stays in Fjallsárlón's Aurora Huts.
