The Jokulsarlon Glacier and Volcano Adventure is an exhilarating expedition that invites travelers to explore Iceland’s most dramatic landscapes—towering glaciers, ancient volcanoes, lava fields, and shimmering glacier lagoons. This multi-dimensional tour blends the raw power of fire and ice, offering an unforgettable journey into the heart of Iceland’s geological wonders.
Embark on a full-day or multi-day tour from Reykjavik to the southeastern coast of Iceland. Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon , nestled at the edge of Vatnajökull National Park , is the crown jewel of this journey. From icebergs floating on serene waters to distant volcanoes steaming in the background, every frame is postcard-perfect. The tour typically includes glacier hikes, volcano visits, lava field treks, and opportunities to explore nearby ice caves, depending on the season.
Jokulsarlon is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural attractions. This deep glacial lake is fed by the retreating Breidamerkurjokull Glacier, a tongue of the Vatnajokull Ice Cap. Here, guests will witness massive icebergs that have calved from the glacier drift slowly toward the Atlantic. During the summer, optional amphibian or zodiac boat tours allow visitors to navigate between these massive frozen sculptures, offering close encounters with the icebergs and seals that inhabit the lagoon. ..
