Vatnajokull National Park - Hike and Boat tour ideas?

Hello,

We're planning a trip in early June and spending 2 nights at the Hotel Jokulsarlon near the glacier lagoon and national park. We're hoping to do a full day including both some sort of small group Glacier Hike and Zodiac boat tour.

Are there recommendations for any guides that might be able to coordinate both? We're fairly active and up for a full day of adventure.

Thank you.

The zodiac boat tour is only run by IceLagoon, no other company. Glacier hikes and ice caves are also available through them. I have done the zodiac boat tour a couple of times, but not used them for glacier hikes or ice caves. Note that your trip is in June and companies are no longer doing the cave tours in the summer as last summer a cave collapsed and a person was killed. So now they run from October to April. They do have a tour that includes the zodiac and glacier hike,

We have done a glacier hike at Solheimajokull and you can book through Troll or others, but once there the actual tour operator is Icelandic Mountain Guides.
