Private Diamond Beach & Glacier Lagoon Tour

A full-day journey into Iceland’s most breathtaking glacial landscapes

Diamond Beach is one of Iceland’s most mesmerizing wonders, a black-sand shoreline where crystal icebergs from ancient glaciers wash ashore and glitter like scattered diamonds. This luxury day tour carries you from Reykjavík deep into Vatnajökull National Park to explore the world-famous glacier lagoons of Jökulsárlón and Fjallsárlón, along with the spectacular scenery that surrounds them.

Beloved by locals and admired by travellers from around the world, this region reveals Iceland at its most dramatic and awe-inspiring, experienced here at a relaxed, refined pace.

A Day of Glacial Wonders

Your morning begins with a scenic drive along Iceland’s South Coast, passing moss-covered lava fields, towering sea cliffs, black-sand plains, and glacier-capped ridges before reaching your first major landmark.

Skógafoss - A Waterfall Icon

Your journey into the South Coast’s wild beauty starts with Skógafoss, one of Iceland’s most powerful waterfalls. Its towering curtain of water, swirling mist, and frequent rainbows create a spectacular introduction to the landscapes ahead.

Lunch at Klaustur - Elevated Icelandic Flavours

In the village of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, enjoy an included lunch at Klaustur Restaurant, warm, comforting Icelandic dishes crafted from fresh, local ingredients. It’s a delicious and restorative pause before entering glacier country. Klaustur Restaurant caters to all dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian options.

The Ice Realms

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

A world of drifting icebergs awaits at Jökulsárlón. Carved from Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, these blue-white ice sculptures float silently across the lagoon, creating a calm, ethereal scene. Seals are often spotted weaving between the ice.

Diamond Beach - A Glittering Shoreline

Just across the road, Diamond Beach dazzles with crystal-clear ice fragments washed ashore onto deep-black volcanic sand. The contrast of ice against darkness is one of Iceland’s most unforgettable sights.

Fjallsárlón - An Intimate Glacial Sanctuary

Your next stop, Fjallsárlón, offers a quieter and more dramatic encounter with Vatnajökull. The glacier descends sharply toward the water, giving you an up-close look at Iceland’s frozen giants in a peaceful, cinematic setting.

Vatnajökull National Park

Throughout the afternoon, you’ll explore the edges of Europe’s largest glacier, surrounded by volcanic deserts, jagged mountain peaks, sweeping plains, and icy horizons that define this extraordinary national park.

A Final Coastal Pause in Vík

On the way back west, you’ll stop in Vík, a charming coastal village framed by black beaches and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks.
