Overview

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon at Vatnajökull National Park, is an amazing place and an absolutely mind blowing experience. Go on an amphibian boat tour (optional extra), navigating amidst white and blue icebergs, watching the heads of seals chasing fish into the water.

Check out the Diamond Beach at the mouth of the short glacial river where crumbling bits of transparent ice sparkle in the black volcanic sand.

This 14-15-hour day trip from Reykjavík immerses you in the splendors of Iceland's south coast. It unveils scenic wonders like the Eldhraun Lava Field, Skaftafell, and Öræfajökull, Iceland's highest peak. Opting for a private tour provides flexibility, enhancing the experience of these picturesque locations.

While there's considerable driving, the journey is a reward in itself, culminating at the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon—a jewel shaped by the forces of ice and fire.

Being right between the two great volcanoes Eyjafjallajökull and Katla the coastline here is ever changing and during the 1918 Katla eruption the coastline moved out almost 200m due to the amount of sand, gravel and ash brought forth. There are some fascinating rock formations embedded in the mountainside and basalt columns rise from the surf just off the shore. During summer, this is also a nesting site for puffins.
