Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and the South Coast Private Tour from Reykjavik

Summary

Get picked up at your accommodation anywhere in Reykjavik's city center to start your day's adventure. Meet your private guide and climb into a comfortable tour vehicle bound for Jökulsárlón, Europe's largest glacial lagoon.  On the scenic journey there, pass through Skaftafell National Park. Stop at the cascading Seljalandsfoss waterfall and make a stop at the Þorvaldseyri Volcano museum.  Arrive at Jökulsárlón to take in the magnificent sights of this impressive natural wonder. Learn about its history, ecology and geology through your guide's informative commentary; the lagoon has existed since 1934 and is continuing to grow as large chunks of ice calve off the Vatnajokull glacier. During the return trip to Reykjavik, stop off to visit Skógafoss waterfall and the black sand beach of Reynisfjara.
