Unforgettable 6-Day Summer Vacation Package with Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon

The first day of your exciting summer vacation in Iceland begins as you arrive in the country, landing at Keflavik International Airport.

Once you've collected your luggage, you'll board a bus that will take you through the lunar-like landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula on your way to Iceland's capital, Reykjavik.

You could stop at the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa on your way to Iceland's capital city. This world-renowned spa is known for its healing waters, vivid azure colors, and luxurious treatments. 

It is in the middle of a moss-covered lava field, giving it an otherworldly atmosphere. Adding the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa to your summer vacation package itinerary will be arranged according to your flights. 

If there is no time to visit the spa today, it can be added to another day. Your travel consultant will be able to arrange this for you. 

There is still plenty to see and do in Reykjavik if you have extra free time on your first day in Iceland.

After settling into your hotel in Reykjavik, you can spend the rest of the day exploring what the city offers. 

Be sure to walk around the old town center and visit the main shopping street, Laugavegur, where you'll find boutiques, bars, and restaurants.

Look around the beautiful Old Harbor area, close to many of the city's most popular museums.

If you’re interested in the sea, check out the Reykjavik Maritime Museum to learn more about Iceland's seafaring history.

Reykjavik has some interesting architecture. Look at the glass-fronted Harpa Concert Hall and the impressive church, Hallgrimskirkja. Here you can go to the top of the tower and get spectacular views over the city.

You can take advantage of the long days under the midnight sun, enjoy a meal at a restaurant, or some of Reykjavik's nightlife. If you prefer, head to your accommodation to rest before tomorrow's adventures.

On the second day, it becomes even more exciting for your summer vacation in Iceland, as you'll go on a guided day tour of the Golden Circle sightseeing route.

The route consists of the Gullfoss waterfall, Haukadalur geothermal area, and the Thingvellir National Parliament Park, the first national park you'll visit out of three during your trip to Iceland. 

The first stop on the Golden Circle route is the Thingvellir National Park. Due to its rich history, where the Icelandic parliament, the Alpingi, was founded in 930 AD, Thingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is also remarkable for its geology, as it sits above the meeting place of two tectonic plates. You'll be able to see the rifts in the ground, marking where the Eurasian plate and the American plate meet at the Silfra fissure. 

You can also opt for a snorkeling tour in the Silfra fissure, which boasts some of the most transparent waters in the world. Participants need to be comfortable in the water and be able to swim.

Another stop you can go for is the Kerid crater, a striking volcanic crater lake with vivid red slopes and bright turquoise water, located along the Golden Circle route. Here, you can walk along the rim or even descend to the water’s edge.

Your next stop is the Haukadalur geothermal area. There, you'll find Geysir, the geyser all others in the world are named after. The site is filled with other geothermal hot springs, geysers, and vents. 

Geysir stopped regularly erupting a while back, but the Strokkur geyser that stands next to it erupts frequently and can reach an average height of 66 feet (20 meters) with each blow.

The last stop on this day will be the Gullfoss waterfall. If conditions allow, you can walk up close to the stunning Gullfoss waterfall and see how it tumbles into the Hvita glacial river canyon over a two-tiered fall of over 105 feet (32 meters).

You can add another optional tour to the day here. 

You could head out from Gullfoss waterfall on horseback and get to know the Icelandic horse and nature better, or you could opt for a faster ride on a snowmobile trip to the Langjokull glacier. 

Afterward, you'll return to Reykjavik, where you will spend the night. You can add additional activities in Reykjavik to your itinerary today, too.

The fourth day of your vacation package is jam-packed with excitement as you'll visit the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and the nearby Diamond Beach.

You'll wake up in the shadow of the great Vatnajokull glacier and start the day by visiting one of Iceland's most breathtaking natural attractions: the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. 

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon is formed by the melting ice from the Breidamerkurjokull glacier, which creates a stunning lake filled with floating icebergs of various shapes and sizes. 

The lagoon's crystal-clear, blue waters reflect the surrounding glaciers and create a magical atmosphere.

If you visit from May to October and wish to get a closer look at these icebergs, you can opt for a boat tour on the lagoon. You'll board an amphibious boat where people of all ages can enjoy a relaxing sail among the giant icebergs.

Boarding a specially designed boat that can traverse land and water, visitors embark on an unforgettable journey amidst majestic floating icebergs. 

Expert guides navigate through the icy maze, providing insights into the glacier's formation and the lagoon's unique ecology. 

The tour allows travelers to witness the lagoon's ethereal beauty up close, providing ample opportunities for photography and encountering curious seals swimming in the waters. 

This one-of-a-kind experience allows visitors to connect intimately with the captivating landscape of Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon.

Close to the lagoon is a black beach where icebergs have broken into smaller pieces and washed onto the sand. When the sunlight hits them, they resemble chunks of diamonds, earning the beach the nickname Diamond Beach.

You will then start heading back towards Reykjavik, stopping at a few of your local guide's favorite locations and enjoying the view of the Westman Islands in the south and the Myrdalsjokull and Eyjafjallajokull glaciers in the north.

In the evening, you'll return to Reykjavik, where you will spend the night in comfortable accommodation.
