Private Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon Tour
Feel free to contact us
Description
Take a private day tour along Iceland’s South Coast to the world-famous Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where floating icebergs drift toward the sea. With your own guide and vehicle, you’ll travel in comfort, enjoy flexible photo stops, and experience some of Vatnajökull National Park’s most iconic scenery.
Meet your guide in South Iceland
Start from Brú Base Camp near Hvolsvöllur and head east along the South Coast, passing black-sand stretches, rugged lava landscapes and dramatic rock formations.
South Coast scenery and photo stops
As a private tour, the pace is calm and unhurried. Your guide will choose the best viewpoints for the day, based on conditions and visibility, so you get the strongest photo moments on the route.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Arrive at Jökulsárlón and take time to admire the glacier lagoon’s icebergs and ever-changing colors. The landscape here is shaped by Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull, creating a powerful sense of scale and raw nature.
Diamond Beach
Just across the road, visit the black-sand shoreline where ice pieces often wash up like scattered crystals. This is one of the most photogenic stops in Iceland when conditions are right.
More Vatnajökull views
Depending on time and conditions, your guide may add additional stops within the Vatnajökull National Park area to deepen the glacier experience before heading back west.
Return to Brú Base Camp
After a full day of South Coast and glacier-lagoon highlights, return to Brú Base Camp in the evening.
