Description
See Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and other highlights of Southeast Iceland on this sightseeing day tour from Djupivogur. The tour suits cruise passengers and short-stay travelers, with mountains, icebergs, and black sand along the way.
The itinerary is paced to make the most of your time, with photo stops and a mix of famous attractions and quieter viewpoints.
Your trip begins in Djupivogur, a fishing town in the Eastfjords known for its colorful harbor. Here, you meet your local guide and the other guests.
From Djupivogur, the route follows the southeast coast, where rugged peaks meet the Atlantic Ocean. Your guide is happy to answer questions about the sights along the way.
The first stop is Vestrahorn Mountain, whose steep ridges rise from the shoreline to 1,490 feet (454 meters), surrounded by black sand dunes and shallow tidal flats. The water often mirrors the outline of the mountain, which makes it a good place for photos.
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, the highlight of the tour, is next. At the edge of Vatnajokull Glacier, the largest glacier in Europe, the lagoon is full of icebergs that break off the glacier and drift slowly across the still water.
Each iceberg has its own shape, with colors ranging from white to shades of blue and ash black. On calm days, the lagoon's surface reflects the icebergs and the mountains around it.
Just across the road is Diamond Beach, where chunks of clear ice wash up on the black volcanic sand.
On the way back, you stop at Eystrahorn Mountain. Less visited than Vestrahorn, it has rugged cliffs and wide views of the coastline, and its quiet setting contrasts with the busy shore of the lagoon before you head back to Djupivogur.
The tour is paced to give you time at each location, with chances for short walks along the way.
