Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon Boat Tour, South Coast

Not far from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon on Iceland's South Coast is another idyllic lagoon filled with massive icebergs: Fjallsárlón. Just northeast of Hof, the coastal hub of Vík is just a little over two hours from Fjallsárlón.

After dressing in a wetsuit and receiving a safety lesson, your professional guide will lead you through the mossy landscape to the lagoon and your boat. After take-off, you'll circle icebergs of all shapes and sizes that, every so often, turn or flip over. This movement creates quite a spectacle and the opportunity to taste the ancient ice. The tour continues towards Vatnajökull Glacier, the largest glacier in Europe.

Occasionally, you can see huge icebergs breaking off the glacier's edge, falling dramatically into the lagoon before drifting away quietly and melting slowly. Your guides make sure to give you fresh insight into the history and nature of the area, the glaciers, and the icebergs.
