This private day tour allows you to spend a magnificent day exploring the wonders of Icelands south shore. Along the way, you will witness some of the countrys most stunning scenery, including the mighty Skogarfoss waterfall with its towering drop and the vast black sand deserts. During the summer, there is the unique opportunity to sail among floating icebergs, offering a breathtaking perspective of the glaciers. You will also see some of Icelands largest glacier rivers and dramatic landscapes, providing a truly unforgettable experience of the countrys natural beauty.
As you approach Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, you will pass the impressive Oraefajokull glacier, one of Icelands largest active volcanoes. The lagoon itself has been shaped over centuries as the Breidamerkurjokull outlet glacier has slowly advanced and retreated due to climatic changes. Large blocks of ice continuously break off the glacier, filling the lagoon with striking icebergs. This ever-changing scenery tells a fascinating story of Icelands glacial history and offers a spectacular sight that will remain in your memory long after the tour ends.

Well worth the 5+ hour drive from the airport. Amazing up-close views of glaciers and seals. Experienced tour guides take you out and explain everything. Felt very safe and the views are indescribable. You even get to hold a piece of glacier in the boat. Well worth the money! I didn’t want the tour to end.
Our experience was wonderful. The scenery itself was breathtaking, and being able to get that close to the glaciers, while also seeing seals and other natural wildlife, was unforgettable. Our tour guide and Zodiac driver was so friendly and pleasant. He provided much information about Iceland, the glaciers, wildlife, and also answered my many questions of this fascinating country. I felt completely safe and cared for during the tour.
Decided to go for the Amphibian tour and it turned out to be very nice. Still get to see the icebergs fairly close on the lake, and the tour guide explains some things, and you get to ask questions if you're lucky and they're not too busy with others. A quick 35min trip out and back, and you can hold a piece of ice like a fish, if you want. I found it a bit cheeky that there was a sign encouraging tipping your tour guide if you liked it. Tipping is not really a thing in Iceland because people get paid well enough, and if the tour guides don't, then for the money they charge the visitors surely means the company owners and living the rich life, and could and should raise the salaries of the workers.
When planning our trip, we knew we would hit the national park. However we debated about the boat tour. After the trip there is no debate, book it! We did the 40 minute amphibian tour. That was just enough time to see it from the water from a totally different perspective. Our driver and guide were both fantastic! We learned a little glacier history and facts. Most importantly we got to weave in and out of the icebergs and get some fantastic views. Make sure to dress warm. On the water is much cooler than on the shore. There is tons of parking. They have three lots, so choose the one that works for you.You will pay for it.
Amazing and beautiful! You'll find many options for visiting the icebergs and glacier on the lake. We took the zodiac tour, which was AMAZING! We had close up encounters with icebergs, seals and the glacier. I'd highly recommend one of the tours, although you can easily see and photograph the icebergs from the shore too. Don't miss Diamond Beach while you're hear too. This is a beautiful bonus while in the area.
