On the South Coast and Glacier Lagoon Tour you will spend the day experiencing firsthand the invigorating diversity of the Icelandic landscape. From views of Vatnajokull glacier, Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls to the sparkling hunks of ice found on the Diamond Beach at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
On your way to the glacier lagoon, you will pass through the South Coast region of Iceland, a land of magnificent waterfalls, striking black sands, massive glaciers and volcanoes interspersed with farms. You will have unforgettable views of Skaftafell wilderness area in Vatnajokull National Park and drive through the starkly beautiful black sand expanse of Skeidararsandur. Just before reaching the lagoon you will also have a view of Iceland’s largest active volcano, Oraefajokull.

A very comfortable trip and a good way to see South Coast, particularly if you are short on time. Stops sufficiently long to get a taste of the place.

Perfectos! Our tour guide was amazing! She is so knowledgeable. It’s was fun to learn how to pronounce the Icelandic word on the bus.The road was rocking but the driver safely bring us back to town, thank you so much! We travelled in 5 with a 8 years old overall rating 4/5, because 15-20min at Diamond beach definitely not enough.
Ah I forget to mention the pick time is perfect, be there on time. I nearly missed the pick up because the Viator apps map direction bring us to different location. So please double, triple check the pick up location.

This trip was phenomenal. It was our first tour in Iceland and it really set the bar high. Our tour guide Emilia was a fantastic storyteller, who kept up her energy all throughout the 14+ hours of our trip. Very skilled at keeping us entertained (even when the sights would’ve sufficed too), keeping it relevant, engaging, and wholesome with activities/stories during the longer parts of the journey. Our driver Peter was also amazing, really flexible and happy to make stops not on the itinerary if the sight was too beautiful to pass. That being said, the sights on this trip themselves were absolutely stunning. It was like being in a magical winter wonderland. Props again to our guide and driver for making the most out of the reduced winter hours in Iceland to show us the sights in the best conditions possible. Trip is an absolute must, you don’t want to miss out!

Our guide Christian (Chris) and our driver (sorry I didn't get the card with his name on and couldn't remember it) were great. A really looooong tour this 1 at 15 hours prepare for a numb bum.. loved all the sites we visited, but would recommend during the winter when the boats are not running on the lagoon that you shorten your stay there and maybe spend more time in Vik earlier in the day so we could see the trolls and the black beach there or spend longer at Skogafoss so we could of climbed to the top viewing platform. Unfortunately the icebergs (due to the wind) were at the far end of the lagoon so it was slightly underwhelming, the diamond beach made up for it though and walking behind Seljalandfoss at night was a great experience. Bonus at the end we saw the northern lights.

This is a long tour but takes in some breathtaking views of waterfalls and glaciers. The coach was very comfortable and driven well by Helgi. The guide (Darren) was very entertaining and made the day pass very easily. His humour and knowledge was excellent.

I had done a wide search for a tour that would allow me to see Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach and hit the jackpot!
In addition to the mentioned National-Geographic-worthy locations in this tour you are also able to enjoy an abridged version of the South Coast: stop in Skogafoss, short stop in Vik for lunch, and stop in Seljalandfoss (at night).
We did not take the optional amphibian ride in the Lagoon, but still people who went on board were given enough time to enjoy the Diamond beach when they came down.
Although the tour was by far the longest (14 hours) and a considerable amount of that time in the bus, the comfortable leather seats did not make us feel a thing and allowed us to sit back and enjoy the landscape. It also had electrical outlets, allowing us to charge our phones and be able to take more pictures.
Special mention to our tour guide Emilia, she was the greatest! She made the long drive highly entertaining by telling us fun facts and folklore stories about Iceland. We were able to learn so much during this time. She even treated us to some Icelandic chocolate. You will be very lucky if she is assigned as your guide :)

Emilia is a very professional and enthusiastic guide, my family learnt so much and I really loved how she shared all the Icelandic folk stories, my kids really enjoyed them especially during the long bus rides. Usually bus rides will be long and tiring but she made it entertaining and insightful, sharing with us all the beautiful scenic spots we passed by as well as the many stories and science behind them. She is really passionate about her job and she has humour, best guide I have encountered! She even bought all of us an Icelandic snack and it really made our day!
