Reykjavik: Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon & South Iceland Tour

About this experience

Reykjavik to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon & South Iceland Tour This comprehensive day tour takes you from Reykjavik to some of Iceland's most spectacular natural wonders along the dramatic south coast. You'll visit the world-famous Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, where ancient icebergs from Europe's largest glacier drift serenely across a vast lake, often accompanied by curious seals. Your journey includes stops at two of Iceland's most photographed waterfalls: Seljalandsfoss, where you can walk behind the 60-metre cascade, and Skógafoss, known for its powerful drop and frequent rainbows. The tour also features Diamond Beach, where ice chunks from the lagoon wash up on black volcanic sand, creating a striking contrast. You'll travel through the charming village of Vík í Mýrdal and witness the dramatic Reynisdrangar basalt sea stacks rising from the Atlantic. Throughout the 14-hour journey, your expert guide shares insights about Iceland's geology, history, and folklore whilst you travel in comfort with panoramic windows and scheduled stops for meals and refreshments.
