Discover the breathtaking beauty of Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon with our specially curated adventure tours. Located in southeast Iceland, Jokulsarlon is a place where massive icebergs drift serenely across a glacial lagoon, forming one of the country's most captivating natural sights. The lagoon connects with the Atlantic Ocean and is fed by the meltwater from the mighty Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier, a tongue of the Vatnajökull ice cap — Europe’s largest glacier.
Our Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon adventure experiences are designed to immerse you in Iceland’s raw beauty, combining scenic drives, photography stops, glacial boat rides, Diamond Beach walks, and optional add-ons like glacier hikes or ice cave visits (seasonal). Whether you join us on a day tour from Reykjavík or opt for a multi-day package along Iceland's south coast, Jokulsarlon remains the crown jewel of your Icelandic journey.

The star of the journey, Jokulsarlon is a natural wonder that draws visitors year-round. Icebergs of various sizes and shades of blue break off from the glacier and float in the calm lagoon, creating a peaceful yet dramatic spectacle.
Just a short walk from the lagoon lies Diamond Beach — where the icebergs wash ashore and contrast beautifully with the black volcanic sand. The scene is surreal, making it one of Iceland’s most photographed locations.
On the way to or from the lagoon, you’ll visit famous waterfalls such as Seljalandsfoss (which you can walk behind) and the powerful Skógafoss. Many tours also include stops at Reynisfjara black sand beach and Vík village.
Depending on the season, you can enhance your Jokulsarlon adventure by adding activities like:
