Description

Come along on the journey of a lifetime with this private tour of the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach. Those looking to see icebergs floating on a deep lagoon and scattered on black volcanic sands in style and luxury should grab this opportunity now.

The tour will begin at your desired pick-up location in Reykjavik, the capital area of Iceland. For more convenience, you can set your accommodation in the city as your specific spot.

From there, you will be whisked away to the South Coast of Iceland to enjoy the scenic landscape along the shore. Accompanying your private group is a driver-guide with whom you can ask questions and assistance for the next 12 hours.

Along the way, you will stop at a restaurant of your choosing, where you will be able to enjoy a nice warm meal should you wish. You may also ask the guide's recommendations if you don't have any food places in mind.

After the meal, you will journey toward Vatnajokull National Park, home to the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach. Jokulsarlon, in particular, is considered the crown jewel of Iceland because of its natural beauty and unique features.

Jokulsarlon lies at the mouth of Breidamerkurjokull, one of Vatnajokull's outlet glaciers. Through continuous glacier melt, this lagoon has become Iceland's deepest lake at 814 feet (248 meters).

As you arrive at the lagoon, countless icebergs of different sizes, shapes, and colors will welcome you. You will have the time to walk around and breathe in the fresh glacier air while enjoying the picturesque landscape surrounding you. 

After strolling around the glacier lagoon, you will head down to Diamond Beach, where you will see the breathtaking sight of the glacier lagoon meeting the North Atlantic Ocean in all its glory. 

The numerous ice chucks scattered on the beach's black volcanic sands are commonly described as "like glittering diamonds." It's a sight you will never forget and the perfect subject for photography.

You will have an excellent time walking around the beach and lagoon surrounded by glaciers and mountains before returning to the capital area.

After a satisfying time in Vatnajokull, the tour proceeds back to Reykjavik, but you can stop at a restaurant or a café on the way back to enjoy some refreshments.

There is also the possibility of adding extra stops along the route, such as visiting the famed Skogar museum or the Lava Center in Hvolsvollur. However, please note that these additional stops are subject to availability and extra costs. 

The guide will drop you off at your hotel in Reykjavik, marking the end of this private tour in Iceland.
