Private Glacier Lagoon Tour

Discover floating icebergs and spectacular glacier scenery on a private Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon tour from Reykjavík. Travel along Iceland’s South Coast with your own local guide and a premium 4x4 vehicle, enjoying dramatic landscapes throughout this full-day journey.

Pass mountain peaks, moss-covered lava fields, and black sand plains as your guide shares stories of Iceland’s glaciers, volcanoes, and local life. Stops along the route offer opportunities to stretch your legs, take photographs, and appreciate the changing scenery.

At Jökulsárlón, watch icebergs drift across the lagoon beneath the glaciers of Vatnajökull National Park. Explore nearby Diamond Beach, where pieces of ice wash onto the volcanic black sand, creating an ever-changing landscape.

A summer boat tour can be arranged at an additional cost, subject to availability, operating schedules, and time within your itinerary. Your guide tailors the day’s stops around your interests, weather, and road conditions.
