Experience

Highlights
  • Get blown away by the beauty of the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
  • Walk among icebergs on the so-called "Crystal" or "Diamond" Beach

Full description
Tour Iceland's southern coast and see natural wonders, including Jökulsárlón and the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Learn about the area from your guide as you visit quaint villages and black sand beaches. Begin with a visit to the 60-meter-high Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, a must-see attraction for trips down the coast. Then, stop at the southernmost village of Iceland, Vík í Mýrdal before riding east. Watch the scenery transform from lush farmlands to darkened plains and black deserts. If the conditions allow, pay a visit to the stunning river canyon of Fjadrargljufur. Finally, arrive at Jökulsárlón, and be struck by its ethereal ambiance and glittering icebergs. Keep an eye out for curious seals and dive-bombing Arctic Skuas. Walk between the icebergs on the “Diamond” Beach, known for its black sand near the glacier lagoon. On the way back, stop to see an old turf church and note its striking resemblance to "hobbit holes." Learn more about this and the region from your guide.

This was absolutely worth our money! The tour guide was amazing, he told us a lot of interesting facts and stories about Iceland which was so nice. And the places we saw were incredible! We saw the waterfall by night, which was so impressive. Definitely recommend this tour when in Iceland!

I highly highly recommend this day trip - the bus is very comfortable despite the long hours of the trip, the guide (Ian) was really informative and while he seemed a bit gruff in the morning (it's the early start I guess!) he soon started telling us more information and stories than I think we got on any other tour! The locations are amazing, particularly the lagoon, and overall I would absolutely repeat the experience!

One of the best tours we have done. The super professional guide explained everything in detail. We saw so many beautiful places in just one day. Finally on the way back the Northern Lights. I highly recommend, the cost is appropriate.
