From Reykjavik: Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon Boat Ride & Diamond Beach Tour

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon Boat Ride & Diamond Beach Tour from Reykjavik

This full-day expedition takes you from Reykjavik to Iceland's most spectacular natural attractions along the south coast. You'll cruise among ancient icebergs at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, walk on Diamond Beach where ice meets volcanic black sand, and witness the power of Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls. The tour combines comfortable transport with expert commentary, giving you access to sights that showcase Iceland's unique geology and glacial landscapes.

Your journey covers the dramatic south coast, travelling through mossy lava fields and rural villages to reach the 18-square-kilometre Jokulsarlon lagoon. The highlight is a 30-minute amphibian boat cruise among centuries-old icebergs that have calved from Breidamerkurjokull glacier. You'll see icebergs in shades from crystal white to deep blue, with chances to spot seals and arctic terns. At nearby Diamond Beach, massive ice chunks wash ashore on black volcanic sand, creating a striking contrast you can only experience in Iceland.
