Private 14-Hour Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and South Coast Tour from Reykjavik with Photos

Make your Icelandic holiday more exciting as you take this 14-hour private trip to the South Coast and Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. Designed for solo travelers or groups of up to seven people, this tour offers stunning natural wonders and professional photos to commemorate your journey.

Your excursion begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Reykjavik. For added flexibility, other nearby areas, including Keflavik Airport (KEF), can also serve as pick-up locations. Simply contact the tour operator ahead of time about your preferred location.

For the next 14 hours, a spacious van will serve as your transportation. This private vehicle ensures a personalized experience, allowing you to explore at your own pace without the constraints of a larger group. 

A knowledgeable guide will be at the helm of your sightseeing adventure. They will provide unique stories and exciting trivia about your destinations that only locals know about. They will also take photos of you with the attractions as your backdrop.

The South Coast is a popular destination for travelers because of its breathtaking natural attractions. Visitors also get to enjoy multiple views at once because the region is framed by the North Atlantic Ocean.

The first stop on your itinerary is the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which drops 200 feet (60 meters). It's famous for its walking path that allows you to venture behind the cascading water for a unique perspective and fantastic photo opportunities. 

Next, you'll visit Skogafoss waterfall, one of Iceland's largest and most powerful falls. The thundering cascade creates a stunning view, with rainbows often forming in the mist. You can also climb the stairs to the top of the waterfall for a breathtaking view of the surrounding area.

The tour continues to the Dyrholaey peninsula, known for its dramatic cliffs and rock formations. During summer, it's also home to colonies of puffins and other seabirds. 

At the nearby Reynisfjara black sand beach, you'll be mesmerized by the unique basalt columns and powerful waves crashing against the shore. The Reynisdrangar sea stacks offshore add to the beach's striking and otherworldly appearance, making it a must-see location.

The tour's highlight is visiting the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, Iceland's deepest lake. This stunning glacial lake is filled with floating icebergs that break away from an outlet glacier of Vatnajokull. The ice chunks come in different colors and sizes, with some as big as two-story buildings.

With luck on your side, you may even spot seals and seabirds resting on the ice or along the lake shore. You can also take an optional boat tour to get close to these animals and the icebergs, subject to availability.

The nearby Diamond Beach, where icebergs wash up on the black sand shore, offers another breathtaking view and excellent photo opportunities.

As you circle back to Reykjavik for a drop-off service, you'll see more of the South Coast in a different light.
