5Great times
I had a wonderful time with Dori as our guide. He was friendly and looked after us well throughout the trip. I enjoyed being able to appreciate the glaciers and the surrounding landscape at a slow pace through kayaking. We went on the tail end of the season so it was just my friend and I for the tour. Dry suits were provided but it was still recommended you dress warmly on the inside.
5Great kayaking in the Lagoon
Miro was a great guide! We were all beginners but he was very patient. He also prioritized our safety during the excursion
5Closeup with a Glacier
We were right there a foot away from the glacier! I have seen glaciers multiple times but have never been this close. Being in the lagoon with the icebergs around us is a cherished experience. Dorrie, our guide, was knowledgeable, informative, and patient with our inquisitiveness. A great guide enhances the adventure and he did just that!

It was really amazing experience!!! Our guide was friendly and very nice. Thanks Miro. ❤️
5Fantastic Kayak Tour!
Dori was a fantastic guide! My wife and I had never been kayaking before. His instructions were concise and we saw quite a few of the icebergs up close! Be aware you will be wearing a dry suit, so if you run warm don't bother with heavy cold weather gear. Strongly recommend this tour!
