Description

Explore Iceland’s stunning South Coast region and have your picture taken at some of the top attractions when you choose this combination adventure, glacier hike, and photoshoot day tour from Reykjavik. Travelers who wish to see and have photos at famous destinations such as Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, Vatnajokull glacier, and Diamond beach should book this tour today. 

Today’s tour starts when your guide, who is a certified glacier guide and professional photographer, picks you up at your hotel in Reykjavik. They will get to know you and teach you some interesting facts about Iceland as you head east along the Ring Road. 

Your first stop is in the charming coastal village of Vik, where you will have a few minutes to explore and see the quaint beauty that the town offers. Enjoy a coffee and lunch break before heading off to your first attraction.

Vatnajokull National Park is home to the massive Vatnajokull glacier, the largest glacier in Iceland and the second largest in Europe. Here, you will get dressed in glacier safety gear and embark on a 3-hour hike along this stunning feature. 

The Vatnajokull glacier hike provides incredible views, unique ice formations, and fun scrambles up icy inclines. Your guide will instruct you on navigating the glacier while simultaneously taking pictures so you can never forget the experience. 

After your unforgettable glacier hike, you will drive to the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, often called the “Crown Jewel of Iceland.” This unique site allows you to see massive ancient icebergs floating in the deep lake, and often you can spot seals lounging on the ice. Taking portraits here is a must!

Once you’ve soaked up the majestic beauty at Jokulsarlon, you can visit the nearby Diamond Beach. It gets its name from how the chunks of ice scattered across the black sand glitter like diamonds in the sunshine. This is a perfect background for more photos!

After you have finished exploring the area and giving the camera your best poses, it is time to return to Reykjavik. Relax and watch the scenery pass by during the drive, and before you know it, your guide will drop you back off at your Reykjavik accommodation.

Within 14 days of your magical tour, you will receive an edited 30-photo package. The package includes portraits, candids, scenery, and group shots and is perfect for sharing your adventure with your friends and family back home.

Dressing appropriately for this tour is essential, as Iceland’s weather can change quickly, and the glacier hike can be pretty chilly. Warm base layers, a waterproof outer layer, and sturdy hiking boots with ankle support are required. 

Travellers interested in an exciting glacier hike, visits to the top South Coast attractions, and a fantastic album of photos to remember the day should book this tour today. Check availability now by choosing a date.
