Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach
Feel free to contact us
Description
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach is one of the most striking long-day journeys in South Iceland. The lagoon is filled with floating icebergs that break from Vatnajökull glacier, while nearby Diamond Beach scatters pieces of ice across black volcanic sand.
This is a tour for travellers who want the South Coast to feel grand in scale. The drive is longer, but the reward is a landscape that feels completely different from the waterfalls and beaches closer to Reykjavík.
Choose this tour if Jökulsárlón is high on your Iceland wish list and you want the logistics handled in one clear, bookable day.
