Tucked away near the village of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, Stjórnarfoss is a beautifully symmetrical waterfall framed by lush green hills and dramatic rock formations. Easily accessible via a short walk, this serene cascade offers a peaceful stop with fantastic photo opportunities, perfect for travelers looking to experience one of Iceland’s lesser-known natural treasures.
This unforgettable stop takes you to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where massive icebergs float serenely across a vivid blue lake. You’ll have the unique opportunity to join a boat tour that brings you up close to the ice, offering incredible views and photo opportunities in one of Iceland’s most iconic natural settings.
Just steps from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, you’ll also visit the stunning Diamond Beach, where glistening icebergs wash ashore on the black sand after drifting through the lagoon. The contrast of crystal-clear ice against volcanic sand creates a surreal and unforgettable scene, perfect for capturing one-of-a-kind photos.
During your stop in Vík, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase food and explore this charming coastal town. If the skies are clear, you’ll also catch a glimpse of Iceland’s southernmost point and the striking Reynisdrangar sea stacks just offshore.
At Seljalandsfoss, you’ll experience one of Iceland’s most unique waterfall, where you can walk behind the curtain of water for a truly unforgettable perspective. Don’t forget your rain gear, as the mist adds to the adventure and makes for spectacular photos.

Valuable tour with great guide SVEN.
Great experience. Bus was comfy and nice. Bus driver was courteous and safe. Guide was polite and knowledgeable. Fee was a lot but we drove a long way and the glacier lagoon was my favorite thing I saw in Iceland so I’m so glad I did it!
Beautiful day trip by bus to Jökulsárlón and there by amphibian boat on the water between the large ice blocks (crumbled pieces of the largest European glacier). Also a pair of seals spotted near the bridge. Then to Diamond beach. Was a beautiful day with regular sun. Along the way also stopped twice at beautiful waterfalls. On the trip, a toilet/drink/eating stop was also held occasionally.
Kristin and Youcef were amazing, we spent a wonderful day and everything went smoothly. We are delighted to have seen such wonderful places
An 800km round trip where you through vastly different cosmic landscapes accompanied by a wonderful tour guide telling stories of myth and history. Totally enchanting and awe-inspiring...
This tour is absolutely breathtaking, Everything was perfect, beautiful cascades, glacier lagoon, diamond beach, Black Sand beach. The tour guide Sunny was very friendly and told us many interesting things about Iceland.
The bus ride was a bit long, but the glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach were beautiful. It was a shame we didn’t get to see any seals.
