Itinerary
Departure from Djúpivogur Port
Your journey begins with pickup right from the cruise port in Djúpivogur. Settle into a comfortable vehicle and enjoy the scenic drive along Iceland’s remote southeast coast. Along the way, your local guide will share insights about the region’s unique geology, glaciers, and wildlife.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
You’ll travel from Djúpivogur to the mesmerizing Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Here, you’ll take a 45-minute amphibian boat tour to get up close to the magnificent icebergs floating in the glacier-fed lake. The blue and white chunks of ice are constantly moving, offering a dynamic and surreal view.
Amphibian Boat Tour on Jökulsárlón
Next, hop aboard a specially designed amphibian boat for a 45-minute guided tour of the lagoon. Glide between the icebergs and get closer to the action, all while learning about glacial formation, iceberg movement, and the surrounding Vatnajökull National Park. Your guide will even fish a piece of centuries-old ice from the water for you to hold! This boat ride gives you a unique vantage point you can’t get from the shore.
Diamond Beach
Just across the road lies the stunning Diamond Beach, where pieces of glacial ice from Jökulsárlón wash ashore. The ice fragments sparkle like diamonds on the black volcanic sand, creating one of the most surreal and visually striking landscapes in Iceland. You’ll have time to walk along the beach, admire the ice formations up close, and take unforgettable photos before heading back.
Return to Djúpivogur Port
After a full day of awe-inspiring sights and natural beauty, your guide will drive you back to the port in Djúpivogur with plenty of time to reboard your ship.
