The Jokulsarlon Spring Tour Package invites you to witness one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural sites as it transitions from icy stillness to a dynamic burst of life. Spring is a magical time to explore Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and its surroundings, offering a perfect mix of melting glaciers, awakening wildlife, and quieter travel experiences. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned Iceland explorer, spring brings a unique charm to this Arctic wonderland.
Spring in Iceland, particularly between April and early June, is a season of renewal. As the snow and ice begin to melt, waterfalls swell, wildflowers bloom across meadows, and the icebergs in Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon start to float freely again. You can experience boat tours through floating icebergs, see baby puffins along the coast, and enjoy extended daylight hours for sightseeing and photography.
The lagoon is located in southeast Iceland near Vatnajökull National Park . In spring, as the ice melts and chunks begin to break off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier tongue, the lagoon becomes active and dynamic. Boat tours begin operating in May, offering the chance to glide among towering icebergs with a guide providing insight into glacier formation, climate impact, and wildlife in the area ..
