Jökulsárlón Day Tour by Superjeep

Journey through the vast expanse of Skeiðarársandur, a sweeping desert landscape shaped by black volcanic sands carried by Iceland’s largest glacial rivers as they flow into the Atlantic Ocean. This ever-changing terrain, prone to occasional sandstorms, continually reshapes the southern coastline. En route to your destination, you’ll pass Öræfajökull glacier, home to Hvannadalshnjúkur, Iceland’s highest peak, standing at an impressive 2,119 meters.

Arriving at Jökulsárlón, a breathtaking glacial lagoon, you’ll witness a constantly evolving natural masterpiece. Icebergs of varying shapes, sizes, and stunning hues of blue, turquoise, and white break away from the retreating glacier tongue, floating serenely in the lagoon’s mirrored waters. Stroll along the lagoon’s shores to admire its surreal beauty and capture its reflective wonders through your lens. For a closer look, consider embarking on an amphibious boat tour to sail among the uniquely sculpted ice formations.

Don’t miss the nearby Diamond Beach, a striking stretch of black sand at the edge of the Breiðamerkursandur glacial plain, where glistening ice fragments washed ashore sparkle like jewels against the dark sand. Together, Jökulsárlón and Diamond Beach form an awe-inspiring natural wonder that must be experienced firsthand.

While this is one of the longest day tours from Reykjavík, it is undoubtedly among the most rewarding and highly recommended adventures.
