We took this trip during a cruise over Iceland. The guide picked us up at Djupivogur port. The drive to the glacier in a van was quite comfortable. Gunnar, our guide is a real enthusiast fascinated by glaciers. He shared interesting stories and lots of local insights. Visiting the glacier gives a fantastic impression. Even if you do not have much time, seeing a glacier is a must-do in this area. Make sure you dress warmly. It was +20 when we left Djupivogur, but at the glacier it was windy and freezing cold. We took several other stops to see the ‘diamond beach’ and waterfalls. The entire drive and every stop offered stunning views of Icelandic nature.
