Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon and Diamond Beach Day Trip from Reykjavik

Your tour begins with pickup from central Reykjavik, where you board a climate-controlled vehicle and follow a scenic route towards Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon.

During the journey to the lagoon, be mesmerized by some of Iceland’s most beautiful scenery: pass Hvannadalshnjúkur, Iceland’s tallest mountain, and the sprawling black sands of Skaftafell National Park.

En route, stop at Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, two dramatic natural landmarks that make for fantastic photo opportunities. Finally, arrive at the Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon and be rewarded with 18 square kilometers (7 square miles) of unique scenery. As you wander around the lagoon’s perimeter, recognize scenery featured in blockbuster movies such as 'Batman Begins' and 'Tomb Raider,' and keep your eyes peeled for frolicking seals.  

To conclude your day, you have the possibility of viewing the Northern Lights. If weather and temperature conditions are optimum, see a phantasmagoric display of light and color in the night sky. Sightings of the Northern Lights are not guaranteed.

Bid your guide farewell after drop-off in Reykjavik.

With its enormous, ancient icebergs, the Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon is a natural wonder of Iceland and a sight you absolutely cannot miss. The lagoon produces a feeling of incredible tranquility as the 1000-1500 year old ice that has broken away from Vatnajökull glacier silently drifts into the lake and slowly melts away. The lagoon covers 18 square kilometres (7 square miles) and reaches more than 248 metres (814 ft) at its deepest point. As you take a walk along the shore, you may recognize the lagoon from scenes out of famous movies such as Batman Begins, Tomb Raider and two James Bond movies that were filmed here.
