Reykjavik · JöKULSáRLóN GLACIER LAGOON TOURS
Jokulsarlon is nearly four hours each way, which makes this the longest honest day trip in the catalogue. These 15 compare the straight runs with the ones that add Diamond Beach, a boat among the icebergs or a night in the east, with prices and real departure times.
Review of Iceland’s 14-hour Jökulsárlón tour, with Seljalandsfoss, Diamond Beach, Vík, glacier views, and optional boat cruise.
“Amazing trip. Glacier lagoon and diamond beach are surreal. Our guide, Heidi, was really friendly and told us many Icelandic stories. The driver, Thor, was very informative also and kept us safe on the snowy roads. Really enjoyed it!”

Ride a Super Jeep from Jökulsárlón into Vatnajökull for blue ice caves, glacier views, expert guides, and a short, easy walk.
“Excellent cave tour. 800m of cave with three main chambers all different and stunning as were the interconnecting tunnels. Over an hour in the cave. Main emphasis on photo opportunities but the ice is so beautiful and varied you do want to take lots of pics. Our guide Bernie was very informative and also an excellent photographer taking pics of everyone on their phones in front of the various ice features as we went along. Recommend booking as early a tour as possible. We were second group of the day so didn’t have to wait around for other groups to get out of the way. It gets very crowded by…”
See Iceland’s waterfalls, glaciers, Jökulsárlón icebergs, and Diamond Beach on a long but rewarding 14 to 15-hour trip from Reykjavik.
“The tour guide Lasma was really nice, she was so enthousiastic and passed it on to us from morning to late evening always with the smile. She even let us stay 10min longer at the diamond beach because the boat tour was delayed and she sas that people were stressing over time to go to the diamond beach. I really enjoyed it and the info she gave us was really interesting. The best day and tour guide.”
Review of Iceland’s 14.5-hour South Coast bus tour to Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach, Skógafoss, and Seljalandsfoss, with practical booking advice.
“We've seen amazing places!! It was a very long day but it totally worthed it! The guide shared a lot of information, the bus was nice and modern and the journey was smooth. Two small negative things to mention: we'd have appreciated a short visit to the Reynisfjara beach (not in the itinerary but it would be lovely to add it) and the stop on the way back in Vik seemed a bit long.”

“This was an incredible tour. We hiked on the glacier for a few hours and saw 4 different ice caves. Our guide Michal was experienced and ensured everyone was safe and had a wonderful time. We learned a lot about the glacier. Our group had about 9 people in it. We hiked further on the glacier and were not overrun by other tourist groups. Local Guide seems like a terrific, well-organized company. I highly recommend this experience. Words cannot do it justice. Thanks!”
Review of Iceland’s 14-hour South Coast tour to Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach.
“Our tour guide was phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information with us - both facts and anecdotes. He even took us to a hidden waterfall and an extra glacier lagoon that we were not scheduled to see, so those were fun bonuses. He also was incredibly personable and really fun to spend such a long day with. 10/10 - cannot recommend enough!”

“The South coast is amazing. The most beautiful landscapes in Iceland. The ice cave visit was definitely the highlight of the trip. You cannot miss it. Our guide Colin was so nice. Always telling us interesting facts and stories about Iceland.”
Review of Reykjavik’s 14-hour South Coast tour to Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach, Vik, Stjórnarfoss, and Seljalandsfoss, with practical booking advice.
“First of all, this part of Iceland is gorgeous. Perhaps one should come down to southern Iceland and stay for a few days to enjoy everything. We were not prepared for a 15 hour day. We got on the bus about 7:15 am and got off the bus around 9:45pm. We then had to walk back to our AirbBnB. There were not enough bathroom stops, and when there was, there were too many people trying to use the facilities and stand in line (cue) to get something to eat, during the time we had at each stop. This was a big bus tour, not a small bus tour, so my…”
