Please note: Child (0-5) free of charge. Pick-up at a meeting point. In the Summer season you are highly recommended to make reservations in advance (more than 7 days before the date).

The Glacier Lagoon of Iceland is a sight you absolutely cannot miss, with its enormous and ancient icebergs breaking off from Vatnajokull glacier.

The lagoon produces a feeling of incredible tranquility as the 1000-1500 year old ice silently drifts into the lake and slowly melts away. The lagoon covers 18 square kilometers (7 square miles) and reaches more than 248 meters (814 ft) at its deepest point. You may recognize the lagoon from movies like Batman Begins, Tomb Raider, and two James Bond movies.

Your tour will also stop at the gorgeous Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls. What makes Seljalandsfoss so famous and interesting is that you can walk behind it. (We recommend you bring either a raincoat or a waterproof coat along if you want to walk behind it.)

Skogafoss, another famous Icelandic waterfall, is one of Icelands most photographed cascades. The waterfall has been used in the films like Thor: The Dark World, Game of Thrones, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.

We will also stop in the town of Vik í Myrdal for a dinner break, where you can walk to the black sand beach and see the Reynisdrangar rock formations.
