Reykjavik: Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon Full-Day Guided Trip - The early bus ride and southern coast scenery

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,302 reviews · from $203Our pick

Review of Reykjavik’s 14-hour Jökulsárlón tour, with glacier ice, Diamond Beach, waterfalls, Vík, boat options, costs, and practical tips.

“There were 8 of us total that booked this event. We all loved the black sand beach with the “diamonds” and the glacier lagoon. When we went to the waterfall, it was so rainy and windy that we couldn’t enjoy the beauty. Arthur - our driver - was such a trooper driving thru a snow storm and getting all of us to our destination safely. And kudos to William for being a knowledgeable guide and also assisting a driver who was stuck. Overall, I would recommend this tour minus Mother Nature throwing in a snow storm.Read more”

“This was a great activity, not sure where all the bad reviews come from. If you keep your expectations in line with reality and not social media, you won’t be disappointed! It was amazing to be on a glacier and see the ice cave & crevasses. Do not book if you’re not in relatively good shape as it involves a lot of walking and climbing on snow and ice. Equipment is provided and it feels totally safe. Great Iceland experience!”

We loved our tour guide Wojtec! He was crystal clear about safety precautions , patient and helpful with the equipment, fun with the photo ops and very knowledgeable about the geologic processes. The day will be our most memorable experience from this trip .”
