The “Jökulsárlón” glacial lagoon is one of the greatest natural pearls in south Iceland.
On the way to the lagoon, you will be astonished at the diversity of the landscape in this part of the country. You will get an opportunity to explore some of this amazing scenery.
Highlights include the beautiful waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, important glaciers such the majestic Mýrdalsjökull glacier, a great number of glacial rivers, vast deserts and plains of volcanic ash and black sands.
Along the coastline, you can see many glacial tongues and one of Iceland’s largest volcanoes, Örćfajökull glacier, with the highest peak in the country.
After a short stop in the small town of Vik we continue towards the east, crossing over a great number of glacial rivers, through the Eldhraun lava field (Fire Lava), beautiful Kirkjubaejarklaustur village, Skaftafell National Park and then the vast desert of volcanic black sand of Skeidarasandur.
When we arrive at the glacial lagoon you have the option of a boat tour on the lagoon, you can explore this beautiful area that is rich in bird life, as it is among the main breeding grounds of the Arctic tern and the great skua.
We will have lunch at the Lagoon visitor’s centre. Then we head back west to your hotel.
