Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon Tour Ιtinerary


◾ Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Drive for a few hours and get to Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon, a location filled with floating icebergs. Fjallsárlón is popular amongst the locals as an adventure destination for it’s a wonderful place to go sightseeing, lake kayaking, and boat riding among the icebergs. Stop for lunch in a local restaurant with a stylish interior and great lunch options and great views of icebergs and the enormous outlet glacier.



◾ Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
After another drive, reach the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, praised as Iceland’s crown jewel. It’s located near the Vatnajokull National Park, about 380 km (236.12 miles) from Reykjavik. Jokulsarlon is popular for its stunning beauty and ever-changing appearances. It also inspired many moviemakers to give their work a unique touch. James Bond films like Die Another Day and A View to a Kill, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Batman Begins all shot scenes at the glacier lagoon.



◾ Diamond Beach
Visit Diamond Beach right next to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon an extension of the vast Breiðamerkursandur glacial outwash plain. The icebergs that broke away from the glacier tongue wander into the lagoon before being washed ashore. Some still immense and blue, some tiny and crystal, these pieces of glacier ice scatter on the black sand beach, forming an eye-pleasing contrast. Truly one of a kind experience.



◾ Stjórnarfoss waterfall
Take a small detour to see an attractive yet lesser-known natural wonder, the Stjórnarfoss waterfall. Stjórnarfoss waterfall cascade falls in two stages, both about 15 meters high. The lower drop falls over a dome-shaped rock in the form of an eye-pleasing symmetry. The photogenic waterfall has attracted many photographers for its unique appearance.



◾ Vík Village and Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks
A charming seafront village, Vík í Mýrdal is small with only 300 inhabitants but filled with amazing natural wonders as Iceland’s southernmost village. Several stores and gift shops with great options are found here for visitors to recharge and shop for souvenirs.



◾ Seljalandsfoss waterfall
One of Iceland’s most well-known, most popular waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss waterfall is fed by the glacial meltwater from the famous/notorious glacier volcano Eyjafjallajokull. Falling from a 60-meter cliff, Seljalandsfoss hosts a special surprise. When conditions are allowed, visitors can walk behind the cascade and take a look at the entire area from behind the fall for a spectacular panoramic view. Then, take Route 1 for your return journey back to Reykjavik. You will be dropped off at the pick-up location.

About the area

Iceland’s South Coast is a true natural beauty, as numerous popular attractions lie along the coastal line. 380 km (236.12 miles) from Reykjavik is the astonishing highlight; Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and its surrounding wonderland, are truly one of a kind.

The sheer force of nature has carved one of the outlet glaciers from Vatnajokull ice cap, Iceland’s largest and Europe’s most voluminous glacier, and formed Jokulsarlon and the Diamond Beach. The beach’s black-velvet-textured sand is scattered with big and small blocks of ice. Coming into existence in the 1970s, the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and its vicinity became a symbol of Iceland’s pure and ever-changing nature.
