Iceguide is a leading tour operator of glacier kayaking tours in Vatnajökull National Park.  

Since our founding in 2000 by local explorers Óskar Arason and Íris Heiður Jóhannsdóttir, we’ve been driven by one mission: to share the wild, icy beauty of Vatnajökull National Park with curious, nature-loving travelers from around the world. 

We’re proud to say that we were the first company in Iceland to offer kayak tours on glacier lagoons – long before drysuits were trendy and paddling among icebergs was on everyone’s bucket list. 

Our signature Jökulsárlón Glacier Kayaking Tour and Heinabergslón Glacier Kayak Adventure have given thousands of guests a front-row seat to floating ice sculptures, mirror-still waters, and the quiet magic of paddling beneath towering glaciers.

Over the years, we’ve expanded our offerings to include ice cave exploration, glacier hikes, ice climbing, super jeep tours, and more – but our philosophy hasn’t changed: small group adventures, expert guides, and deep respect for nature.

In 2025, Iceguide joined forces with Troll.is, one of Iceland’s leading tour operators, known for its spirit of adventure, slightly troll-ish sense of humor and comprehensive selection of tours and activities. With operations across the country – from Silfra to Skaftafell – Tröll brings a wealth of experience and resources to help Iceguide grow while staying true to its roots in southeast Iceland.

Together, we’re continuing to offer unforgettable tours in Jökulsárlón and Heinaberg, with the same focus on safety, sustainability, and storytelling that’s defined us from the start.

Whether you’re paddling a kayak next to the icebergs, snorkeling between the tectonic plates, climbing a glacier, or exploring the hidden wonders of an ice cave, you’re in expert hands – and good company.

Come explore the edge of the largest glacier in Europe with the original guides who made it possible.
