Overview

With its enormous, ancient icebergs, the Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon is a natural wonder of Iceland and a sight you absolutely cannot miss. The lagoon produces a feeling of incredible tranquility as the 1000-1500 year old ice that has broken away from Vatnajökull glacier silently drifts into the lake and slowly melts away. The lagoon covers 18 square kilometres (7 square miles) and reaches more than 248 metres (814 ft) at its deepest point. As you take a walk along the shore, you may recognize the lagoon from scenes out of famous movies such as Batman Begins, Tomb Raider and two James Bond movies that were filmed here.

An unforgettable journey

Published on Feb, 2025

A very energetic tour guide! Very unforgettable scenery! So lucky to see so many "diamonds"!Although the time on the bus is very hard, seeing these scenery, everything is worth it.

Wow!!

Published on Feb, 2025

Really nice guides and perfect Tour. Amazing views with detailed information perfect weather conditions and a real experience.

Excellent glacier tour.

Published on Feb, 2025

The tour guide was informative and friendly. The busses were all on time. We we given adequate time at each stop to explore.

15h of the entire south shore highlights

Published on Feb, 2025

Thank you Solveig and Marek for a wonderful day. They even added a bonus stop to see an Aurora display! It's a long day, really long. But you get all of the south shore highlights all in one go, including 2 of the more famous waterfalls. There were 2 big glaciers on Glacier Lagoon and the whole day felt basically perfectly planned which makes it easy.

Long but Amazing day tour from the Capital - all of the south shore highlights in one full day!

Published on Feb, 2025

Solveig and Marek got us through the entirety of the South Shore safely and professionally, offering everything from interesting commentary to a bonus stop to see the northern lights on our way back. All of this in a large, comfortable bus which is necessary due to the length of the day. Absolutely worthwhile if you want to compress all the South shore sights into one day, including the waterfalls and the glaciers. Great tour, thank you Solveig and Marek for making it wonderful and going the extra mile.
