“Just amazing! The entire setup, punctuality, and professionalism of both the driver and the guide were excellent. They put in a lot of effort to ensure everyone had the best possible experience. The tour began at Þingvellir National Park, where the North American Plate meets the Eurasian Plate. We then visited the Geyser, where the eruptions were incredible to watch, and enjoyed a lovely traditional Icelandic lamb soup. After that, we went on to see Gullfoss Waterfall on the Hvítá River — simply stunning. The highlight of the trip was the snowmobiling on the glaciers — a truly fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience with a great group of people who made it…”

Guided Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach Day Trip from Reykjavik

8.Guided Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach Day Trip from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 436 reviews · 14 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $171

A long, guided day from Reykjavik to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach, with waterfalls, a Vik dinner stop, and an aurora chance.

“Know that it is going to be a LONG DAY on a bus with ~40 other people, but it is still the easiest way to get out to Diamond Beach, etc. which are beautiful. Just be aware that this is really booking transportation to different points of interest/photo stops and not so much a "tour" with insights/history/etc. When you get to Vik in the evening, 100% recommend going to Black Crust Pizza (a 1 min walk from where the bus stops) instead of the buffet the rest of the group goes to. Bring lots of snacks/drinks & headphones/book/etc. for the long stints on the bus.”
