Experience the breathtaking beauty of Iceland’s South Coast on a full-day tour from Reykjavik to the stunning Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach.

Marvel at the otherworldly icebergs drifting in the lagoon, set against the backdrop of Vatnajökull Glacier. Along the way, you’ll explore iconic sights like the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. We will also make several stops along the way. The hidden gem that is Stjórnarfoss waterfall; the charming, seafront town of Vík, where from its black sand beach one can spot the majestic Reynisdrangar sea stacks in the distance.

With comfortable transportation and expert guide sharing fascinating insights, this tour offers an unforgettable adventure, capturing the essence of Iceland’s natural wonders—all in a single, awe-inspiring day.

Iceland’s South Coast is a true natural beauty, as numerous popular attractions lie along the coastal line.  380 km (236.12 miles) from Reykjavik is the astonishing highlight: Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and its surrounding wonderland, are truly one of a kind.

The sheer force of nature has carved one of the outlet glaciers from the Vatnajokull ice cap, Iceland’s largest and Europe’s most voluminous glacier, and formed Jokulsarlon and Diamond Beach. The beach’s black-velvet-textured sand is scattered with big and small blocks of ice. Coming into existence in the 1970s, the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and its vicinity became a symbol of Iceland’s pure and ever-changing nature.

As one of the most praised day tours in Iceland, this 14-hour day tour, our longest, is filled with impressive attractions and picturesque landscapes, making the journey unforgettable.
