    Julian and our private tour were incredible!

    Truly the most incredible experience! Julian was our guide and photographer for the all day glacier hike, diamond beach, and lagoon tour. He truly made the experience for us! His knowledge, photography skills and overall demeanor were unmatched! In addition he made us feel extremely safe during the glacier hike. We did the entire ring road during our stay in Iceland and went on several tours. Although they were all great, this one was by far our favorite. Book it, you won’t regret it!

    Julien gave us the best once in a lifetime adventure!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide than Julien! We were so lucky to be the only 2 people on the glacier hike, diamond beach, and glacier lagoon because we got his full attention! He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable, but he made the whole day really comfortable and honestly the best guided tour I’ve gone on. I’ve been to a lot of countries and done many tours and I can definitely say it was my fav! Jaw dropping scenery at every turn, great pictures, and a ton of laughs as well. Cannot miss this experience

    Full-Day Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & Glacier Hike: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Full-Day Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & Glacier Hike cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,621 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & Glacier Hike take?

    +

    Plan for about 15 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & Glacier Hike worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & Glacier Hike?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & Glacier Hike suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & Glacier Hike?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & Glacier Hike start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full-Day Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & Glacier Hike?

    +

    Included: Pickup and Return from Reykjavík accommodation; 30 Shot Photo Package per 1-4 Passengers, 45 Shot Photo Package per 5-6 Passengers; Certified Driver, Glacier Guide and Professional Photographer; Glacier Equipment: helmet, harness, crampons, and ice axe (hiking boots upon prior request; and Small Groups: 6 Maximum.
