The Jokulsarlon Summer Tour Package offers a truly unforgettable experience in one of Iceland’s most iconic natural landscapes. Situated at the edge of Vatnajökull National Park , Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon becomes a vibrant and accessible destination in the summer months, offering mild weather, extended daylight, and a range of outdoor activities. From scenic boat tours among floating icebergs to up-close encounters with seals and stunning photographic opportunities, this summer tour lets you witness Iceland’s glacial beauty without the harsh winter conditions.
With 24-hour daylight during midsummer, visitors can explore Jokulsarlon and nearby attractions at a relaxed pace. Whether you're a nature lover, adventure seeker, or photographer, this package provides a perfect blend of comfort and thrill. The tour often includes guided transport from Reykjavík or local towns, expert commentary, and options to add glacier hikes, Diamond Beach visits, and wildlife watching.
While Jokulsarlon is breathtaking year-round, summer transforms it into a haven of light, wildlife, and accessibility. The lagoon fills with floating icebergs calved from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, gently drifting toward the Atlantic Ocean. The calm waters reflect the blue sky and glowing ice, offering spectacular photography and a chance to see seals swimming or lounging on ice.
A highlight of any summer visit to Jokulsarlon is the boat tour that takes you among the towering icebergs. Amphibian boats are larger and family-friendly, while Zodiac boats are smaller and get closer to the icebergs. Both provide spectacular views and expert guides who share fascinating facts about glacial formations and iceberg movement. ..
