Itinerary
A Full-Day Journey to Iceland’s Glacier Lagoons
1. Reykjavík Departure and South Coast Drive
Depart Reykjavík at approximately 07:00 and travel east along Iceland’s Route 1. Watch the landscape change from farmland and lava fields to black-sand plains, waterfalls and glacier-covered mountains.
2. Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Visit the peaceful Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where a glacier tongue descends toward the water. Its quieter setting offers clear glacier views and excellent photography opportunities.
3. Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Arrive at the main highlight of the tour and watch naturally formed icebergs drift across Jökulsárlón. Explore the lagoon shoreline and enjoy time to photograph its constantly changing ice formations.
An optional boat tour may be available when operating, subject to availability and conditions.
4. Diamond Beach
Visit the black volcanic shoreline opposite Jökulsárlón, where pieces of glacial ice may wash onto the sand. The contrast between clear or blue ice and the dark beach creates one of Iceland’s most distinctive landscapes.
