Tour Highlights

Itinerary Overview

Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Reykjavik, heading east along the stunning South Coast.

Known for its jet-black sand, towering basalt columns, and sea stacks (Reynisdrangar), this beach is as photogenic as it is powerful. ..

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.
