The South Coast of Iceland, Diamond Beach and Glacier Lagoon Tour 

THE EPIC SOUTH COAST ADVENTURE!

Embark on the ultimate day tour and prepare for an electrifying journey through Iceland's breathtaking South Coast, Diamond Beach & Glacier Lagoon. Brace yourself for a whirlwind adventure through a surreal wonderland of awe-inspiring sights and unforgettable experiences!

Discover the sheer magnificence of not one, but two towering waterfalls that will leave you breathless. Immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty of the world-renowned Glacier Lagoon at Jökulsárlón, where you'll witness a mesmerizing display of nature's grandeur. And don't miss the chance to wander amidst the shimmering ice fragments on the captivating Diamond Beach.

But wait, there's more! This exhilarating tour kicks off with a convenient city pick-up, allowing you to sit back and savor the jaw-dropping vistas as we traverse the majestic Blue Mountains towards the fertile farmlands that line the iconic Route 1 along the South Coast.

Prepare to be enthralled as we embark on the famous "Ring Road," guiding us straight to the awe-inspiring Seljalandsfoss. This 60-meter waterfall cascades from the legendary Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano that brought air travel to a halt in 2010! And here's the cherry on top - you can actually stroll behind this mesmerizing waterfall, as long as you watch your step!

As if that weren't enough, another breathtaking 60-meter waterfall, Skógafoss, awaits nearby. Once adorned with lush forests by the early Vikings, this enchanting cascade has become an iconic backdrop for Hollywood films, TV shows, and music videos. Brace yourself for an awe-inspiring sight that will leave you in a state of pure wonder, with rainbows dancing through the mist if the sun is shining bright!

Our lunch break takes us to the charming coastal village of Vík, the southernmost point in Iceland. Feast your eyes on the majestic Reynisdrangar rock formations jutting out of the sea, while a fairytale-like church perches atop a hill, overlooking the enchanting surroundings.

Prepare to be captivated by Iceland's title as the "Land of Fire and Ice," as we journey along the South Coast and witness the colossal glaciers that blanket a significant portion of the country. Marvel at these frozen giants as they reach towards the sea, witnessing the mesmerizing spectacle of massive icebergs calving into glacial lagoons during the spring thaw.

Jökulsárlón, nestled conveniently beside the Ring Road, stands as a testament to Iceland's natural wonders, inviting you to revel in the unrivaled thrill of experiencing this breathtaking location on our South Coast, Diamond Beach, and Glacier Lagoon tour.

As the icebergs gracefully float within the dazzling Glacier Lagoon, their frozen blue and white fragments are shaped by the wind, creating a constantly evolving masterpiece. Immerse yourself in this captivating scene, where every glance reveals a new wonder. During the summer months, you have the option to embark on a boat tour for an up-close encounter with these majestic ice sculptures. Be prepared for the occasional thunderous crash as icebergs topple, sending ripples through the lagoon. And keep your eyes peeled, as seals often bask in the sun, adding to the enchantment of this magnificent place!

Just a stone's throw away lies the astonishing Diamond Beach. Picture fragments of icebergs artfully scattered across a dramatic black sand beach, glistening like precious gems on a velvet pillow. Witness the tireless work of fierce winds and the relentless Atlantic waves as they sculpt these ice fragments into extraordinary shapes, creating a scene that seems straight out of a dream. 

During Northern Lights season, the driver will make a stop on the return if there is a high likelihood of viewing the Aurora Borealis!

Prepare to be swept away by the sheer magnificence and unparalleled beauty of the South Coast and Glacier Lagoon. This is an adventure of a lifetime, where every moment is filled with wonder and excitement, leaving you with memories that will last forever!
