    About this experience

    Jökulsarlón and Fjallárslón are glacier lagoon at the south end of the glacier of Vatnajökull the biggest glacier in Europe, between the Skaftafell preservation area in Vatnajökull National Park and Höfn. Jokuslarlon Glacier Lagoon is next to the Icelandic Ring Road. The lake is filled with icebergs, which are calving off the Breidamerkurjokull Glacier. We recommend pre-booking to guarantee availability upon arrival. The lagoon has a vast amount of floating icebergs that have broken off Vatnajökull, Europe’s biggest glacier, and floats towards the ocean. Along the way, we will stop at some of the most popular attractions along the South Coast like Seljalandsfoss waterfall, Skógafoss Waterfall and Reynisfjara Black Beach.

    Amazing experience.

    Absolutely incredible. I think this was my top experience in Iceland. I have never seen icebergs in real life and the beauty stunned me. I genuinely loved this activity so much. Our guide was informative and funny, he answered any questions and took photos of us. Just brilliant. We ended up staying here for another hour after the trip just looking at the icebergs. It was honestly amazing. I also had a panic before the trip that I had deleted the confirmation, I emailed and they emailed me back very quickly with the confirmation and also reassured me if I had lost it, it would have been on their system, great communication. Cannot recommend enough.

    Fabulous location but our tour cancelled

    The lagoon is dreamlike. The icebergs are big and colourful and close to the shore. Sadly, it was too windy for us to go out on the water but the site was marvellous anyway. Staff were helpful and hopeful. We got a full refund.

    Great experience

    This was one of our favorite activities that we experienced in Iceland. We opted for the group Zodiac tour. The "Duck" boat and Kayak tours don't go nearly as far as the Zodiacs. We went all the way to the glacier. It was absolutely amazing. We saw seals and calving glaciers. I highly recommend this tour.

    An Amazing Thing To Do

    This is a must do. A lagoon tour on a zodiac. You go out on a zodiac with a small group fitted up in an immersion suit for safety and comfort. The boat zips along at speed to the face of the glacier, but stops along the way to see up close seals on ice floes/rocks, and the incredible icebergs that have calved from the glacier. It's a majestic and unreal experience. Be sure to book before going as it's a popular experience and numbers are limited. People ahead of us when we were checking in could not get tickets - all times for the day were sold out.

    We went twice

    It's so spectacular that we came twice. The free parking is located right at the lagoon which is very large. Jokulsarlon glacier is quite a distance away and may not be viewable if rainy. The icebergs are numerous and humongous. Seals and birds swim around near the channel to the Sea. To my limited observatiob, the boat tours do not take visitors to the glacier front but to see icebergs more closely.

    Jökulsarlón Glacier Lagoon Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Jökulsarlón Glacier Lagoon Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2086 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 Jökulsarlón Glacier Lagoon Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Jökulsarlón Glacier Lagoon Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 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 Jökulsarlón Glacier Lagoon Tour?

    +

    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 Jökulsarlón Glacier Lagoon Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Jökulsarlón Glacier Lagoon Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Jökulsarlón Glacier Lagoon Tour 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, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. 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.
