What kind of kayak is used on
the glacier kayaking tour?

User friendly boats and safety equipment

The safest and most comfortable position while kayaking is seated in your boat. At Glacier and Volcano Expeditions, we have selected packrafts for our glacier kayaking tours due to their exceptional user friendly characteristics. The unique design of these boats offers unmatched stability, significantly reducing the likelihood of participants tipping over and falling into the lake, making our tours beginner-friendly.

Our inflatable packraft boats provide a comfortable seating experience and are easy to maneuver through the small icebergs that often dot the glacier lake. While the risk of tipping is minimal, we prioritize safety by ensuring that everyone wears a drysuit and a life jacket which are properly secured for a safe and enjoyable adventure.

Single and double boats available

There are single and a double boats available and both of these boats have advantages and disadvantages. For emaple, Single boats are great for those who want total freedom over their craft or wish to take photos of their partner in a separate boat. Double boats are great for those who prefer to combine forces with a buddy, parents that pair with a child and for those who feel more confident with a friend!
