AH35  South Coast & Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon 1 Apr 2013 -
31 Oct 2013

Highlights:
  • Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon
  • Boat tour on the lagoon
  • Seljalandsfoss waterfall
  • Skógafoss waterfall 


Tour Description:

This tour takes us along the beautiful south shore of Iceland to the extraordinary glacial lagoon, Jökulsárlón.

We will pass some charming villages as well as Skaftafell National Park and visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Skógafoss waterfall. Just before we reach the lagoon we pass Iceland’s biggest volcano, Öræfajökull glacier which has the highest peak of the island, Hvannadalshnjúkur (2110 m).

Panoramas IcelandAfter we arrive at the lagoon 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.

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

After a refreshing boat tour on the glacial lagoon, we head back to Reykjavík.

The Glacial Lagoon is nice and worth visiting. However, the company should inform that no sailing at this time more earlier. That makes me feel disappointed.

Thank you for your comments and review. Description of our tour when you book online mentions this fact " 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.
"  We have been lucky though that the sailing has started and we hope that this will continue on the tours from now on.

Our tour guide was really fantastic. Due to weather condition (strong wind and snowy road), it took 14.5 hours, however he kept explaining everything all the time.
