Upon arrival at Jokulsarlon , you’ll be captivated by the striking contrast of crystal-blue icebergs gently floating in the lagoon. These chunks of ice have broken off the mighty Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and create a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere. During summer, you can opt for an amphibious boat tour that brings you up close to the icebergs.
Just a short walk away lies Diamond Beach, where icebergs from the lagoon wash ashore on the black sand, sparkling like gems in the sunlight. It's a photographer’s dream and a rare sight found only in Iceland.
Throughout the tour, you'll make additional stops at select viewpoints, charming villages, and scenic spots like the Eldhraun lava field or Fjallsarlon Lagoon depending on time and road conditions. Comfortable transport, safety, and great storytelling are guaranteed.
