Driving east along the cliffs of Eyjajökull to the magnificent Skogafoss waterfall. You will get the chance to get great photos and take a small hike up to the top of Skogafoss to witness the power from the waterfall above.

Reynisfjara Beach
30 min
The Black Lava Beach is formed long basalt cliffs or columnar igneous rock which are formed at the cooling surface will tend to be propagated down the lava as it cools, forming long, geometric columns. Thus, as lava cools to form basalt, it may crack in a hexagonal (or other) shape and form columns. Reynisfjara Black Beach has really powerful waves that have helped shaped the amazing cliffs. Making them one of the areas most sought after attraction to visit. The cliffs bare many interesting birds, among other species you might see fulmar, guillemot, razorbill, gannet and various types of seagulls. By summertime, the cliffs are filled with puffins.

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.

Worth the Drive!
The five hour drive each way from Reykjavik is worth seeing all the spectacular waterfalls, glacier lagoon boat ride, and diamond beach. We love photography and it was perfect to have a private tour so we could take our time at certain waterfalls to photograph. We stopped along the way for snacks and drinks and loved the road trip and all its views.
