    Best experience at Jokulsarlon Glacier

    This taxi service is operated by Walter Unnarson who is an amazing driver. He is very patient, kind and calm. He knows his roads around Iceland. He accommodated all requests and was very nice. I used the service for airport pickups and drops, to go to Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and back to Reykjavik. Very much appreciate his service. And compared to other private taxi operators, quite affordable too.

    Response from the operator: Thanks ❤️🙏

    A memorable holiday in Iceland. Thank you, Walter!

    Walter's Iceland Tours by Taxi made our holiday really memorable. Walter is a very knowledgable guide. He was very helpful right from the day I contacted him. He meticulously explained the possible itinerary for us so that we can really visit jokulsarlon region & Golden Circle in our own pace. True to his words, his tour was was well executed and we enjoyed every minute of it. He even stopped in additional spots like Kerið Crater & many beautiful waterfalls. vehicle was excellent & comfortable. The stops he recommended for lunch break or coffee break very nice too. I will always cherish the lunch at Friðheimar and Ice creams at farm Efstidalur II. He knows every place in Iceland & remembers every single hill's name! I strongly recommend to hire Iceland's Tours by Taxi when you visit Iceland. And, trust Walter when it comes to planning & itinerary!

    Reliable & chatty :)

    We are a group of 5 friends travelling in Iceland. Walter is very reliable, chatty, friendly & patient. He gave us good tips on the sightseeing and keep his car clean for our comfort ride. We have the honour to try his wife's culinary specialty, Indonesian Lamb Rendang. We love it! Appreciate the wonderful experience.

    Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $916 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 Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon 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 Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 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 Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon?

    +

    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 Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon 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 Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon?

    +

    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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon 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 Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon?

    +

    Included: On-board WiFi; and Bottled water. Not included: Boat excursion Glacier Lagoon. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon include hotel pickup?

    +
