Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon & South Iceland Tour
Discover glaciers, waterfalls and black sand landscapes on a Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and South Iceland Tour from Reykjavik. Travel along Iceland’s spectacular South Coast to one of the country’s most extraordinary natural wonders.
The highlight of this full-day adventure is Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where enormous icebergs drift across the water beneath Vatnajökull.
You will also explore Diamond Beach, Stjórnarfoss Waterfall, Vík and Seljalandsfoss. The complete journey takes approximately 14 hours.
Discover Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Jökulsárlón is one of Iceland’s most impressive glacial landscapes.
Icebergs break away from the nearby glacier and slowly travel through the lagoon towards the Atlantic Ocean. As a result, the colours, shapes and scenery constantly change.
Take time to enjoy the incredible views and watch the floating ice before continuing to nearby Diamond Beach.
An approximately 30-minute boat ride on Jökulsárlón is available as an optional extra and can be purchased for an additional fee.
Walk Along Diamond Beach
Next, visit the famous Diamond Beach.
Here, pieces of glacial ice wash onto the black volcanic shoreline after travelling from Jökulsárlón towards the ocean.
The contrast between the ice and dark volcanic sand creates one of South Iceland’s most memorable landscapes.
Explore More of Iceland’s South Coast
The journey includes several carefully selected stops along the South Coast.
Discover the hidden gem Stjórnarfoss Waterfall before visiting the charming coastal village of Vík. Here, enjoy the black sand coastline and views towards the dramatic Reynisdrangar sea stacks.
Later, visit beautiful Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. When conditions allow, you can follow the path behind the falling water for a unique perspective.
The tour may also include a stop at Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon when time and conditions allow. However, this bonus stop cannot be guaranteed.
With glaciers, waterfalls, black beaches and dramatic coastal landscapes, the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and South Iceland Tour offers an unforgettable full-day journey through southern Iceland.
