Why take this tour?
The Glacier Lagoon - Jökulsárlón, and its surrounding glacial wonderland is truly one of a kind and certainly not to be missed.The Glacier Lagoon is a stunning force of nature which is fed with icebergs from one of the offsprings of the largest ice caps in Iceland - Vatnajökull. As the ice breaks away from the melting glacier it drifts through the lagoon and towards the ocean, creating a very unique landscape that is constantly moving and shifting. Part of the scenery is the black basalt iceberg decorated Diamond beach. The contrasts between the black sand and the sparkling pieces of ice are beyond this world.We will also make time during the drive to visit well-selected places on the South Coast. We will visit the mysterious Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which you can walk behind and the charming subtle village of Vík.The water that feeds this 60m tall waterfall originates from the (in)famous Eyjafjallajökull glacier-capped volcano. The black beach at Vík is extremely beautiful and its wonderfully sculpted seastacks only add to its beauty.Highlights of this tour: - Glacier Lagoon - Jökulsárlón - Diamond Beach - Boat ride (optional extra) - Seljalandsfoss waterfall - Vík villagePlease bring: - Warm, waterproof clothing - Comfortable footwear - Lunch and snacks (we will make stops along the way for you to purchase food)Please note: being located in the southeast some 380 km from the capital, The Glacier Lagoon tour is our longest day tour of 14 hrs, but most certainly worth the drive. A 30-minute boat ride on the Glacier Lagoon can be purchased on the bus for ISK 5900 per person.
