Thrilling 14-Hour South Coast Tour with Boat Ride at Jokulsarlon Lagoon from Reykjavik

Set off on a thrilling adventure on the South Coast of Iceland on this 14-hour sightseeing tour departing from Reykjavik. Travelers keen on seeing the region's waterfalls and want to hop on a boat ride to see the icebergs of the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon should book a spot on this tour today.

Your day tour on the South Coast starts in Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavik. The meeting point is Bus Stop #12 (Hofdatorg), where you’ll meet your friendly tour guide. This guide will serve as your driver and primary source of information for the next 14 hours.

From Reykjavik, the guide will take you on a long drive to the Vatnajokull National Park, Europe’s largest glacier. The trip crosses 236 miles (380 kilometers) along Iceland’s Ring Road. On the way to your destination, you’ll see stunning landscapes like glaciers, mountains, lava fields, and rugged coastline.

First in your itinerary is the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, the crown jewel of Vatnajokull and the South Coast. Jokulsarlon boasts thousands of icebergs floating in its deep lagoon, with some as big as a three-story building.

The glacier lagoon has a depth of 660 feet (200 meters). However, it continues to expand with the rapid melting of the nearby Breidamerkurjokull glacier.

To elevate your Jokulsarlon experience, this tour package includes a 30-minute boat ride in the glacier lagoon. An amphibian boat will take you close to the icebergs so you can have a chance to hold and taste them. An English-speaking guide will lead this boat tour who will tell you exciting trivia and stories about the Icelandic attraction.

Close to Jokulsarlon is a volcanic sand beach where many ice chunks end up. These pieces of ice resembling crystals against the long stretch of black sands gave the beach its popular name, Diamond Beach.

After a beautiful experience in Jokulsarlon, you'll head back to Reykjavik. Fortunately, you’ll take several stops on your way back to the capital to make your day extra special. The South Coast is known for its charming villages and waterfalls, so you’ll see some today.

One of your stops is Vik village, a charming coastal village embraced by black sand beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. If you want to buy souvenirs to take home, Vik is the perfect place to visit because of its excellent shops.

Before reaching Reykjavik, your guide will take you to Stjornarfoss and Seljalandsfoss, two majestic waterfalls unique from each other. Stjornarfoss waterfall is the smaller of the two at 49 feet (15 meters). Meanwhile, Seljalandsfoss waterfall is one of Iceland's most popular and tallest waterfalls at 200 feet (60 meters).

Your 14-hour tour on the South Coast ends in the evening as you reach your drop-off point in Reykjavik.
