AH35 South Coast & Jokulsarlon

The Glacier Lagoon, it's an amazing experience

This tour takes us through the beautiful provinces of the South of Iceland to the extraordinary glacial lagoon, Jokulsarlon.

On the way, we will pass the charming villages Hella, Hvolsvollur, Vik and Kirkjubaejarklaustur. We will stop in the town of Vik and at the two impressive waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. You will also discover the volcanoes Hekla, Eyjafjallajokull and Oraefajokull glacier which has the highest peak of the island, Hvannadalshnjukur (2110 m), located in Skaftafell National Park, which we reach just before we get to the Glacial Lagoon. Eyjafjallajokull erupted just one year ago and got a "black" shield during the eruption because of the ash but has regained its former white color again, thankfully! And talking about glaciers - we will even see Myrdalsjokull and Vatnajokull, the largest glacier of Iceland.

After we arrive at the lagoon we have some time to view this stunning area before we take a boat tour on the lagoon. Please note that the boat tours will not be available on April departures due to the amount of ice on the lagoon. These are expected to start in early May. The boats that carry us are no ordinary boats as they are capable of driving short distances on land as well as sailing on the water.

Jokulsarlon started to form in the early 1920s and is getting bigger every year. You will see many amazing blocks of ice that have broken off Europe’s biggest glacier, Vatnajokull, and sail slowly towards the ocean which is only a kilometer away.
