Description
Sail past blue icebergs on this Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon boat tour in Iceland, aboard an amphibian boat. Running from May to November, this 30 to 40 minute amphibian boat tour is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and families who want a calm and easy way to see icebergs and seals up close.
Arrive at the cafe near Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon at least 20 minutes before departure to exchange your vouchers for boat tickets. From there, you’ll board an amphibian boat that rolls smoothly from land into the water.
Unlike the smaller, faster boats on a Zodiac boat tour of Jokulsarlon, the amphibian boat offers a calm and steady ride. This gentle ride suits travelers of all ages and makes it easy to explore the lagoon.
Before stepping on board, you’ll likely be amazed by the sight of the lagoon from the shore. However, being on the water offers a completely different experience, surrounded by icebergs of various shapes, sizes, and shades of blue. The lagoon is formed by the melting Vatnajokull Glacier, creating a surreal environment with a glacier tongue visible in the distance.
The boat tour provides plenty of time to take photos of this otherworldly landscape. An English-speaking guide will share insights about the lagoon’s formation, history, and future.
As you explore, keep watch for seals. Many of these playful animals live in the lagoon, often swimming near the boats or resting on the icebergs. Their friendly nature makes it easy to observe and photograph them up close.
After the tour, you can visit Diamond Beach, where the icebergs drift ashore after reaching the ocean. The striking contrast of the glistening ice against the black sand is unforgettable and makes this area a favorite among visitors.
Don’t miss this Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon boat tour, cruising among icebergs and spotting seals at one of Iceland’s most spectacular sights. Check availability now by choosing a date.
