Your Journey through Iceland’s Wonders

Set out for a full-day expedition from Reykjavik exploring some of Iceland's most breathtaking landscapes and geological marvels. Leave the city in comfort as your expert guide takes you along the spectacular south coast, home to glacier rivers, black sand beaches and striking volcanic terrain. This immersive tour combines the world-famous Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, the mesmerizing Diamond Beach and visits to two legendary waterfalls—making it an unmissable Iceland adventure for nature lovers.

Begin Your Adventure

Your day begins with a convenient pickup in Reykjavik. Once on board, settle into a comfortable bus equipped with free Wi-Fi, and listen as your guide outlines the day’s itinerary and highlights. Observe the landscape shift as you travel far from the capital into rugged wilderness dotted with mossy lava fields and rural villages. Along the way, your guide shares insights into Iceland’s unique geology, glacial history and folklore, enriching your trip with stories that bring the passing scenery to life.

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon Boat Tour

The highlight of your tour is the unforgettable Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. Spanning 18 square kilometers, this serene lake is filled with centuries-old icebergs that have broken free from the Breidamerkurjokull glacier. Step aboard an amphibian boat for a gentle 30-minute cruise. As you glide among massive floating ice, you’ll witness iceberg colors ranging from icy blue to crystal white. Your guide will explain how the lagoon was formed, what creates the lagoon’s vivid colors and the journey of each iceberg from glacier to sea. Keep your camera ready—seals may be spotted lounging and arctic terns are often overhead.

Diamond Beach

Just a short distance from the lagoon lies Diamond Beach. Here, icebergs wash ashore and glisten like precious stones on volcanic black sand, creating a stark, fascinating contrast. Enjoy time to explore the beach, capturing photos of frozen sculptures lit by the Icelandic sun. Listen for the soft crackle as melting ice meets the Atlantic waves—a truly unique spectacle only found in Iceland.

Waterfall Wonders: Seljalandsfoss & Skogafoss

No journey along Iceland’s south coast is complete without experiencing two iconic waterfalls. Stop at Seljalandsfoss, where you can walk behind its thundering cascade for a rare, immersive view (weather permitting). Next is Skogafoss, whose 60-meter drop creates misty rainbows on sunny days. With time to stroll and admire both natural wonders, these stops offer a closer connection to Iceland’s powerful landscape.

Other Scenic Stops

Weather and time permitting, your guide will show you more of the south coast’s best sights. There may be views of volcanic peaks or stops in villages like Vik, famed for dramatic sea stacks and coastal cliffs.

Comfort and Convenience

Throughout the journey, your guide provides commentary and makes regular stops for food, restrooms and photos. The tour lasts approximately 14 hours and brings you back to Reykjavik in the evening, leaving you with remarkable memories and photos of Iceland’s geological marvels.
