Jökulsárlón Boat Tour
Tour Description
Experience an exciting activity in Iceland this summer with a boat tour around the renowned Jökulsárlón, also known as the Glacier Lagoon.
Jökulsárlón, formed by the melting ice from Iceland's largest glacier, Vatnajökull, is a picturesque lake. The Glacier Lagoon is regularly dotted with large icebergs that break off from the majestic glacier.
This beautiful location is particularly suitable for adventurous travelers with rental cars.
We will meet near our meeting point in Jökulsárlón, where we will get geared up with life jackets. We will then get onto a boat and start our unforgettable adventure into an ice world!
Once we get into the lagoon, we will immediately be surrounded by gigantic icebergs in any direction we look. We will spend around 45 minutes exploring this beautiful place and learning how global warming has affected our beautiful lands in Iceland.
As we cruise around the lagoon, we might even get the chance to find seals playing in the water! Many of these adorable creatures made Jökulsárlón their home since seals in Iceland are used to integrating with humans.
After the tour, you can explore the absolutely phenomenal area called Diamond Beach, located just across the road, to make your time even more exciting.
