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.

I would 1000% recommend this trip Vik and our driver Paco were great. her energy is infectious and paco’s driving skills through what can only be described as blizzards unbelievable.. But when we got to all the stops it was all worthwhile. The waterfalls were stunning, but the view of the glacier lagoons is one I will take with me forever. Breathtaking. Diamond Beach was beautiful and on our way back just to finish the trip off the aurora (northern lights) came out beautifully. Paco went above and beyond to make sure everyone got some great pictures and they lit up the skies all the way back. Could not recommend enough!
