Additional Information

Join us on our Glacier Lagoon day trip as we explore the South coast of Iceland and journey towards Europe’s biggest glacier, Vatnajökull. This massive ice cap, which envelops over 8 percent of Iceland, is approximately 8,100 km2 (3,100 sq mi) in size, making it as large as the US state of Delaware!

Upon reaching the Vatnajökull National Park, you’ll experience the grandeur of nature in its full force. This becomes even more evident when we get to the vast glacial lake Jökulsárlón, located in the south-east edge of the Vatnajökull National Park. The lake was formed as a result of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier’s retreat since the 1930s. Over time, the lagoon’s size has varied owing to glacier melt.

Don’t let this chance slip by to witness the incredible might of nature.

Kind friends at Southcoast Adventures - We booked a private ice cave tour with this fabulous company. Planning emails were returned very promptly with warm messages. We were lucky to have Skulli as our guide for the day which ended up stretching into the evening. Skulli provided expert round trip transportation from our hotel.We were grateful not to be driving ourselves since the weather caused some slippery roads which he maneuvered expertly. Skulli planned a day that met all our destination requests and his knowledge of his country is superb.We were delighted to meet Bjorg at glacier bay. She joined us as the ice cave driver and guide. We didn’t know the company would provide 2 guides. We are 70’s seniors and not particularly fit. Our slow walking was the reason a three hour tour stretched to 4+ hours. Skulli and Bjorg were beyond kind, always helping us on the paths to and from the cave. They continued to praise our efforts as their work day far exceeded their expectations. They never rushed us, even taking spectacular pictures of us in the cave. They both are justly proud of their beautiful country. We left knowing we have gentle and kind friends in Iceland.

Outstanding tourguide - This trip was spectacular mainly due to our tour guide, Ingvar. His depth of knowledge is outstanding and were kept engaged throughout the day long journey. Highly recommend him if you choose to go on this tour.

Amazing scenery, dreadfully maintained walking tracks - This is a review of the Vatnajokull National Park particularly the walking tracks. The views are splendid in a unique area but the information on the state of the tracks is highly misleading to the point of being dangerous. We are experienced hikers but we found the tracks so badly maintained and washed out that in places they were barely passable. The walk up to Svartifoss is well maintained but the S5/S6 alternate route back which was signposted blue (easy) was anything but especially the decent. You want to attract people then repair your tracks and fix your misleading signs.
