Description

Discover the frozen Jökulsarlon lagoon and other sites during this day trip to the Island's southern side, departing from Reykjavik!

You’ll be picked up early in Reykjavik and travel through landscapes dotted with volcanoes, glaciers, and sweeping coastlines. Your first stop will be at Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall you can walk behind for a unique perspective. You’ll continue to Skógafoss, another dramatic cascade plunging from lush cliffs.
Then, you’ll visit the village of Vík, known for its black sand beaches and basalt sea stacks at Reynisdrangar. Your journey’s highlight will be the magical Jökulsárlón lagoon, where massive icebergs drift serenely across the icy waters. Just a short walk away is Diamond Beach, where these ice chunks glisten on the black sand, offering a spectacular photo opportunity.

There will also be an optional boat trip during the stop at the lagoon. Here, you can see filming sites used for movies such as Batman Begins, Tomb Raider, or James Bond.

After this wonderful and exciting day, return to Reyjavik in the evening. You can see more of the tour by clicking the link below.
