Today features a scenic hike to Svartifoss waterfall within Skaftafell Nature Reserve, followed by the majestic icebergs of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and the sparkling Diamond Beach.
Skaftafell Nature Reserve Visitor Centre
Begin your day at the gateway to Vatnajökull National Park, where information and trails to stunning natural wonders like Svartifoss await.
Svartifoss (Route S2) Hike
Embark on a moderate hike to Svartifoss, a unique waterfall framed by dark basalt columns, resembling a pipe organ. The trail offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Witness the awe-inspiring Jökulsárlón, where massive icebergs calve from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and drift serenely in the lagoon before heading out to sea.
Jokulsarlon Boat Tour
Experience the glacier lagoon up close on a boat tour, navigating between the floating icebergs and learning about their formation and the lagoon's ecosystem. Arrive 20 minutes before the 14:00 departure.
Diamond Beach
Stroll along Diamond Beach, where glistening chunks of ice, polished by the ocean, wash ashore like scattered diamonds on the black volcanic sand, creating a surreal landscape.
Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon
A smaller, more intimate glacier lagoon offering stunning views of icebergs floating at the foot of the Vatnajökull glacier. A peaceful alternative or addition to Jökulsárlón.
