Highlights

Embark on a breathtaking journey to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most spectacular natural wonders. Departing from Reykjavik, this full-day group tour takes you through a landscape of striking contrasts—towering glaciers, black-sand beaches, and rugged volcanic terrain. Led by an experienced guide, you’ll uncover the geological drama and serene beauty that define Iceland’s south coast.


Along the way, stop at the village of Vík, renowned for its basalt sea stacks and photogenic coastal cliffs. Wander along its hauntingly beautiful black beaches, carved by time and tide. Continue toward the Glacier Lagoon, where massive icebergs drift serenely, and watch them make their way out to sea, creating a dreamlike, icy panorama.
