DESCRIPTION: 

Discover the Crown Jewel of Iceland: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where stunning icebergs, majestic glaciers, towering mountains, the vast ocean, and a black sand beach await you. This tour is perfect for those looking to maximize their time exploring this breathtaking destination, with additional stops to admire the beauty of South Iceland—all in the comfort of a small group.

Tour Highlights:

• Picturesque South Coast: Begin your adventure with a pick-up from Reykjavik, then travel down the scenic South Coast, passing lush meadows, rugged coastlines, and traditional farmsteads.
• Víkurkirkja and Reynisdrangar Seastacks: Our first stop is Víkurkirkja, a charming church on a hill with fantastic views of the ocean and the legendary Reynisdrangar Seastacks, said to be trolls turned to stone.
• Fjadrargljufur Canyon (Seasonal): As we continue south, witness the transformation from rich farmlands and dramatic mountains to dark outwash plains, black deserts, and staggering natural elevations. If conditions allow, visit the picturesque Fjadrargljufur canyon, made famous by Justin Bieber. 
• Foss á Síðu: Marvel at this beautiful waterfall, where the wind can lift the water, creating an amazing uphill flow.
• Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon: The highlight of the day, immerse yourself in the ethereal ambiance of glittering icebergs, panoramic views, and lively wildlife, including curious seals and Arctic Skuas. Admire the icebergs from the shore or take an amphibian boat ride for a closer look (additional cost applies).
• Diamond Beach: Explore the remaining icebergs before they drift out to the ocean, landing on the renowned ‘Diamond’ or ‘Crystal’ beach.
• Hof Turf Church: On our return journey, stop at an old turf church at Hof, reminiscent of hobbit holes—discover the story behind it on the tour.
• Refreshments in Vík í Mýrdal (not included in the price): Stop for a meal in Iceland’s southernmost village, where you can enjoy delicious lamb soup or the famous black dough pizza.
• Seljalandsfoss Waterfall: Visit the 60-meter high Seljalandsfoss waterfall, a staple stop for sightseeing trips down the coast. Walk behind the waterfall if you dare!
• Northern Lights (Seasonal): Between September 1st and April 1st, we’ll also be on the lookout for the Northern Lights on our way back. If the sky is clear and the aurora activity is strong, you’ll cap off your trip with one of nature’s most magnificent spectacles.
