The 15 Best Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon Tours

41 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.6 average  ·  from $150

Icebergs the size of houses drift out to sea and wash back onto Diamond Beach — four and a half hours from Reykjavik, so the tour has to earn the drive. These 15 include the day trips that make it and the ice-cave add-ons that meet you there, priced and paced.

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 1,681 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $162

Super Jeep to Vatnajokull’s Breiðamerkurjokull ice caves from Jokulsarlon. Small groups, safety gear, and real blue ice in 2.5 hours.

“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…”

On our way back, at the last attraction, a beautifully illuminated waterfall, we were lucky enough to see the aurora borealis.”

Walk on Vatnajökull glacier from Jökulsárlón lagoon on a guided hike with crampons, helmets, and the chance of blue ice.

Our guide was wonderful. She was fun and extremely knowledgeable and made the experience even that much better. She actually had to administer some minor first aid a couple of times for some scrapes. The overall experience was wonderful. It was a very unique experience in an absolutely beautiful environment.”

Two days on Iceland’s South Coast from Reykjavik, with a Blue Ice Cave superjeep trip, Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach, and top waterfalls.

“We were caught in a snowstorm during the tour and I’m so glad our tour guide/driver, Lori, was super calm and experienced. We sat in the first row and literally could not see the road ahead of us because of the snowstorm, but Lori was super calm and collected and made the scary drive okay. Someone in the tour fell on the ice in the parking lot of the ice caves tours and probably broke her arm through her own negligence. Lori and the other tour guides quickly did some first aid. Then she and her friend still opted to do continue the ice cave tour and beach stop before…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 363 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $259

Glacier Lagoon boat ride from Reykjavik plus Diamond Beach, Vík, and waterfall stops, including Seljalandsfoss walk behind the falls.

“This is a very long day trip. Be prepared to spend about 14 to 15 hours on the tour. Be mindful of the time given to explore the sight and the use of restroom and food breaks. At times there was just not enough time to explore and grab food. There are multiple stops for restrooms breaks but if you want to get food at any of the stops we recommend you grab something pre-made. We didn’t have enough time to eat our me because there were multiple tour groups arriving at the same time and we were only given 30 minutes.”
