Additional Information

The Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon, distinguished by its mammoth, centuries-old icebergs, is a standout attraction in Iceland that is not to be overlooked. The serene ambience generated by the thousand to fifteen hundred-year-old ice chunks, which have detached from the Vatnajökull glacier and silently drift into the lake on a melting journey, is awe-inspiring. The lagoon spans approximately 18 square kilometres (7 square miles), reaching depths of over 248 metres (814 ft). As you stroll along the water’s edge, you might realize some familiar scenes from renowned films like Batman Begins, Tomb Raider and a couple of James Bond films that used this unique location as a backdrop.

  • Operates in cold weather conditions, please dress appropriately. We recommend warm layers including hat and gloves and rain gear

Fantastic trip thanks to Albert - Fantastic tour with our guide and driver Albert. He was well informed, kept us on time, and even was able to sneak in a few extra scenic stops for quick photo opportunities. He made the day truly a delight and we never felt rushed despite a full day schedule

Much more than just a ride! - The tour is very complete with great moments like the boat trip to Jokulsarlon Lagoon around the icebergs. Albert our guide is excellent. He conveyed to us with all his explanations and his kindness, the love he has for his country.

Great day with Sigurdur Albert on the south coast - Sigurd Albert was the sweetest bus driver ever. He drove us around many cool spots adding some special ones of his own. He also told us many interesting stories about iceland. It was a lovely day, I'd recomend to anyone that wants to explore the south coast.

Glacier Lagoon & Diamond Beach - Awesome opportunity and experience to see and visit both the Black Diamond Beach and Glacial Lagoon. Both were extremely unique in terms of the landscape and are most definitely worth the hype!
