    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.

    An excellent day jam-packed with amazing sights and experiences. It is a long day of travelling around but very much worth it. The glacier lagoon was beautiful - I would recommend the boat trip which we could book on the day - then on to diamond beach. The waterfalls later in the day were WOW moments.

    A long day well worth the time We had a fantastic day of sun and managed to see ice on Diamond beach. We chose to do the boat trip on the lagoon and are very satisfied with our option. The guide was good and knowledgeable and somewhat stressed because we would get the day together within the schedule. The bus driver Magic was outstanding

    It's a really long day trip, but I highly recommend it. The scenery is incredible! Some stops were on a tight schedule. The boat ride on the icebergs was a bit disappointing. The highlight was when we saw a seal! The best part was the waterfall that you could walk behind. The guide was knowledgeable but a little too loud for my liking and he talked non-stop
