After soaking in the coastal views and dramatic waves, continue toward the highlight of the tour: Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. This ethereal glacial lake is filled with icebergs that break off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. You’ll have time to walk along the lagoon’s edge, photograph the ice, or take an optional boat tour (seasonal).
Just across the road lies Diamond Beach, where glittering pieces of ice rest against black volcanic sand, creating one of Iceland’s most iconic scenes.
The tour operates year-round. In summer, enjoy long daylight hours and access to boat tours. In winter, the icy landscapes take on a magical quality, and there’s a chance to witness the Northern Lights during your return trip.
