Reykjavík: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon Tour & Boat Ride

Join us on a glacial mission and sail in-between the icebergs on our Glacier Lagoon tour including the sailing experience.  

This 14 hour tour takes you straight from the capital to Iceland's icy treasure and allows you to explore the ever changing glacial landscape, colours and forms. The Glacier lagoon, Jökulsárlón leaves no one untouched with its stunning beauty and the exploration by boat, in between the icebergs truly adds to the experience. Part of the glacial wonders, and not to be missed, is the black volcanic and ice speckled, Diamond Beach. You will also visit the nearby Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon (if time allows) and the hidden gem Stjórnarfoss waterfall.

The scenic landscape along the South Coast screams out for a couple of mandatory stops. We'll enjoy optional dinner and beach time at Vík Village where Reynisdrangar seastacks and petrified trolls run the scene. Seljalandsfoss waterfall that welcomes us with it's mighty drop, fresh water and a quick adventure behind the falls when conditions are good, before we head back to civilisation.
