Itinerary
Start your day with pick up from an approved location in downtown Reykjavik.
Stjórnarfoss waterfall is a hidden gem near the historic town of Kirkjubaejarklaustur. Stjórnarfoss waterfall is a two-stage drop - both about 15 meters (49.21 ft) - streaming out mysteriously from a secluded valley with moss-covered cliffs.
Witness the most famous Glacial lagoon in Iceland
Make a stop at the diamond beach when visiting the lagoon. Large crystal clear icebergs are strewn on this beach.
Picturesque fishing village set on black sand beach with Reynisdrangar sea stack looming in the middle distance.
Walk behind one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls, hopefully witness the magical rainbows that dance around it.

Traveler reviews
Truly need to prepared...
Truly need to prepared for wide weather deviation during this 14 hr trip. We had sunny warm weather and windy + heavy rain during different times of the day/location. Sights were well worth the long drive. There weren't as many icebergs in Glacier Lagoon as the photos depicts but it's still a rare sight that we appreciated. Being able to stand behind Seljalandsfoss for a photo was worth getting wet/soaked (due to the wind blowing the water towards the path you need to walk pass to get behind the Fall).
While the destination was...
While the destination was great, the tour guide soured the experience. Simon’s main focus was to sell attendees on a boat ride at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. He rushed all of the other stops and even cut several out. As for those who chose not to purchase the additional tickets, he made it very clear he was unhappy about it. Even making inappropriate comments.
An Absolute 10/10 – A Must-Do Iceland Experience!
An absolute 10/10 experience! The Glacier Lagoon and South Iceland tour was incredible from start to finish. Huge shout out to our guides, Vjeran and Artur, who were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and kept us feeling safe throughout the entire journey. Even though it's a long trip, it never felt rushed, there was plenty of time given at each spot to take everything in, and we had plenty of well-timed breaks along the way. I would 10/10 recommend this trip to anyone coming to Iceland!
Fantastic tour by Kristi
Kristi is Amazing. She explained in a plain English. Her knowledge on places and history of Iceland is awesome. Her energy and enthusiasm throughout the journey is infectious and appreciated. She showed some places not covered in the itinerary when the diamond beach was affected with high tide.. This glacier’s lagoon and diamond beach tour is a great value for money and time. I strongly recommend the Kristi and tour company.
Amazing Guide!
Halli, our guide was the best! He was planned the guide perfectly and we had the opportunity to visit more things than previously planned. Completly recommend the tour, expecially with him as your guide!
