Description

Explore the South Coast and visit the Crown Jewel of Iceland on this luxury day tour to the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon from Reykjavik. Travelers seeking an exciting and memorable experience at one of Iceland's most incredible attractions should book this tour today.

The Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon is world-renowned for its stunning beauty and unique features. Bordering the Vatnajokull National Park, this large lagoon is filled with meltwater and icebergs from the nearby Breidamerkurjokull glacier.

The massive icebergs in this lake are thousands of years old and are an awe-inspiring sight. Wildlife sightings are also common here, as Jokulsarlon is a home and breeding ground for Arctic terns, seals, and other animals. 

Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon is a must-see for professional and amateur nature and wildlife photographers. No matter the time of year, the views here are unparalleled, and the ancient icebergs are the perfect subject for your photographs.

Today's tour begins with meeting your experienced guide at your hotel and enjoying a ride in a luxury SUV along the South Coast. 

You'll marvel at the mesmerizing views of the coastline, the famous villages of Selfoss and Vik, and the Skogafoss waterfall. You'll also pass through the Skeidararsandur desert and by the Oraefajokull glacier before arriving at your destination. 

You'll have ample time to enjoy the lagoon's beauty, so take the opportunity to walk along the shoreline, admiring and photographing the giant icebergs floating by. Look carefully, as you may spot seals lounging on the ice.

During the summer months, you may add a boat ride to the tour to have a closer look at these incredible ice formations and see the lagoon from another angle. 

Right next to the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon is another wonder of Iceland, the Diamond Beach. Named for the chunks of ice that sparkle like diamonds all over the sand, Diamond Beach is a must-see destination.

Once you have finished taking in the beauty of Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach, it is time to return to Reykjavik. Relax in the comfort of the luxury SUV before arriving back at your hotel for a well-deserved rest. 

This tour runs year-round, but unpredictable weather in Iceland can require itinerary changes due to road and safety conditions. Be sure to dress in warm, waterproof layers and comfortable, sturdy shoes. 

Experience the incredible beauty of the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and see why it is known as the Crown Jewel of Iceland when you book this luxury SUV tour from Reykjavik. Check availability now by choosing a date.
