Embark on a spectacular journey combining two of Iceland’s most iconic destinations — Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Thingvellir National Park. This immersive tour showcases the powerful forces of nature, contrasting icy serenity with historic geology. From drifting icebergs to the birthplace of democracy, this unforgettable adventure lets you witness the very essence of Iceland.
Few tours offer the chance to explore both a UNESCO World Heritage site and a glacial wonder in a single day. This carefully curated experience allows you to admire Iceland's south coast, the Mid-Atlantic Rift, volcanic landscapes, waterfalls, and black sand beaches — all while being guided by knowledgeable local experts.
The day begins with an early departure from Reykjavik, driving through Iceland’s scenic countryside. Your first major stop is Thingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates visibly pull apart. Learn about its political and geological significance, and explore the rift valley where the world’s oldest parliament was founded in 930 AD. ..

After exploring Thingvellir, the journey continues toward the south, where you'll witness cascading waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss or Skógafoss (time permitting). As the landscape transforms from mossy lava fields to vast glacier tongues, you’ll approach one of Iceland’s greatest natural treasures — Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
At Jokulsarlon, gaze at luminous blue and white icebergs floating silently, some of which drift out to sea and wash up on the nearby Diamond Beach. Capture mesmerizing photographs, stroll along the lagoon, or opt for a boat ride among the icebergs.
This tour operates year-round. During the summer, you can enjoy extended daylight hours and boat rides at Jokulsarlon. In winter, frozen scenery, ice caves, and potential Northern Lights add magical elements to the journey. Each season presents its own unique beauty, and the tour is adjusted accordingly.
Thingvellir National Park is where Iceland’s geological identity and human history meet. The park sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Rift, where you can walk between two tectonic plates. It's also the birthplace of the Alþingi, the world’s first parliament. Walking through the rift is like stepping through a portal to both the Earth’s mantle and human governance.
Jokulsarlon offers insight into Iceland’s glacial history. The lagoon is part of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, itself an outlet of the vast Vatnajökull ice cap. The melting and movement of the glacier shape the landscape, making every visit slightly different.
