The Grapevine's take
Jökulsárlón
This icy lagoon is a true wonder. The effects of climate change have been very visible in recent years and the size of the icebergs has greatly diminished, but it’s worth seeing while one has the chance. Take public or group transport to reduce environmental impact.

About this tour
Experience some of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural wonders on this unforgettable cruise-tailored shore excursion from Djúpivogur Port. This scenic journey along Iceland’s spectacular southeast coast takes you to the world-famous Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, sparkling Diamond Beach, and dramatic mountain landscapes shaped by glaciers, volcanoes, and the powerful North Atlantic Ocean.
Designed specifically for cruise ship passengers, this tour is carefully timed to match your ship’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience with guaranteed return to port no later than 1 hour before your ship’s departure.
Your adventure begins with a scenic coastal drive through the remote and beautiful landscapes of East Iceland. Along the way, enjoy a stop at the striking Eystrahorn Mountain, famous for its dramatic jagged peaks rising above black sand beaches and wild coastal scenery.
The highlight of the tour is the incredible Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most iconic destinations. Here, enormous icebergs break away from Europe’s largest glacier and drift peacefully across the lagoon toward the ocean, creating an ever-changing landscape of ice, light, and reflections.
Just across the road, you will visit Diamond Beach, where crystal-clear icebergs wash ashore on the black volcanic sand, creating one of Iceland’s most magical natural contrasts.
Before returning to Djúpivogur Port, enjoy a scenic stop at Hvalnes Lighthouse, surrounded by dramatic mountains and rugged coastline views that perfectly capture the raw beauty of Icelandic nature.
Throughout the tour, your local guide will share stories, local insights, and fascinating information about Iceland’s glaciers, geology, culture, and everyday life.
With unforgettable scenery, comfortable transportation, and cruise-tailored timing, this shore excursion is the perfect way to experience the icy beauty of Iceland during your time ashore.
