Amphibian Tour: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Feel free to contact us
Description
Arrive at Jökulsárlón: Head to Iceland’s most famous glacier lagoon and board an amphibian boat for a close-up ride among floating icebergs.
Iceberg cruise: Sail through the ever-changing lagoon scenery, with blue and white ice sculpted by the glacier and drifting quietly across the water.
Taste “ancient” ice: Your guide may offer a taste of ice from the lagoon, a fun little moment that makes the glacier story feel very real.
Learn the lagoon’s story: An English-speaking guide shares geology and local facts about Jökulsárlón, the glacier, and how the lagoon landscape keeps evolving.
Wildlife chance: Keep an eye out for seals that sometimes appear in the lagoon, especially when the conditions are calm.
Time to plan: The tour typically lasts around 30–40 minutes, making it an easy add-on for your South Coast or Southeast road trip.
