    Full description

    Explore the dramatic landscapes of the south of Iceland on a full-day sightseeing tour by bus. Go to the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon outlet of the largest glacier in Europe, leaning about its history and formation from your local guide.

    Following a pickup from your hotel in Reykjavik, transfer to the southern coast and the dramatic Glacier Lagoon. Enjoy plenty of time to see the floating icebergs and enjoy the stunning scenery.

    During the season, make sure to reserve your ticket to the boat cruise on the Jökulsárlón and experience the unique Glacier Lagoon spectacle up close. When you prebook, your place is guaranteed.

    Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is Iceland’s largest and deepest glacier lagoon. It branches from Breidamerkurjokull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajokull, Europe’s largest glacier.

    Return to Reykjavik, stopping at the gorgeous waterfall Seljalandsfoss. You will visit the Diamond beach with black sand, and there will be an additional stop in Iceland's southernmost village at Vík for dinner.

    It was a memorable experience. All the main tourist spots were good but our guide Beggi was super nice and took us to places which were relatively less explored but also better. He entertained us with lots of stories, poems, and information about the places. Our driver Tomek was very punctual and covered the entire trip, nearly 800 kms, very smoothly. I definitely recommend this trip

    This was THE BEST! The Driver (Tomek) and the guide (Bigge) were utterly fantastic. Bigge gave a lot of background information. After he told us about the Icelandic tradition of storytelling, poem writing, and singing, he actually sang 2 poems to the whole bus!! He had a beautiful voice! Even though this tour may seem like too long it was totally worth it. The bus itself was very comfortable.

    Great experience!! Our guide, Monika, was super knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. She perfectly balanced keeping the tour moving with letting us see as much as possible! It is well worth the trip to see Jökulsárlón! Very happy we booked this and highly recommend it!
