Wonderful 8-Hour Southeast Iceland Tour with Jokulsarlon Lagoon from Djupivogur Cruise Port

Experience the wonders of Southeast Iceland, from the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon to Diamond Beach, on this eight-hour tour with a local guide. Cruise passengers arriving in Iceland through the Djupivogur port who are keen on seeing stunning attractions will love the itinerary of this sightseeing tour.

This day tour in Iceland begins at the Djupivogur harbor, where you'll meet your knowledgeable guide. Djupivogur is a charming coastal town south of the Eastfjords region with a picturesque harbor and colorful buildings.

Accompanied by your friendly local guide, you'll embark on an unforgettable journey through Southeast Iceland's stunning landscapes. Your guide knows the best information and local stories about Iceland, so feel free to ask them questions.

From Djupivogur, your first stop is the breathtaking Stokksnes peninsula. The peninsula is home to the iconic Vestrahorn mountain, best known for its jagged peaks against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean.

In addition, Stokksnes's black sand beaches and grassy plains create a postcard-like scene that nature lovers and photographers will love.

Next, prepare to be amazed by the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, the crown jewel of the Vatnajokull National Park. Jokulsarlon is Iceland's deepest lake, characterized by its floating icebergs of different sizes and colors.

With some luck, you may even see seabirds and seals resting in and around the lagoon. If you spot these wildlife, you may take photos, but remember to keep your distance to avoid disturbing them.

While exploring the lagoon, you'll enjoy a delightful picnic with traditional Icelandic sandwiches, refreshing drinks, and chocolates. These snacks are already included in the tour price. 

Adjacent to the glacier lagoon lies Diamond Beach, where some icebergs from Jokulsarlon wash ashore on their way to the ocean. The contrast between the black volcanic sands and the ice chunks shining like diamonds under sunlight creates the perfect scene for peaceful viewing or photography.  

After exploring the wonders of Jokulsarlon and Diamond Beach, your journey continues to the charming town of Hofn. Known for its picturesque harbor and vibrant cultural scene, Hofn offers a delightful blend of scenic beauty and local charm. 

Take some time to wander through the town, soak in the coastal views, talk with locals, and perhaps indulge in fresh seafood at one of the local eateries. Hofn provides the perfect backdrop for immersing yourself in the rich culture and natural splendor of Southeast Iceland.

After a day of sightseeing, the guide will drive you back to the Djupivogur port, marking the end of this tour.

The tour takes roughly eight hours. However, it can span anywhere between six and nine hours, depending on the arrival and departure time of your cruise in Djupivogur.
