Private Jokulsarlon and Diamond Beach Tour with Your Choice of Stops
Jökulsárlón is the furthest of Iceland's great sights from Reykjavík, and for most people the most memorable. Icebergs calve from the glacier and drift slowly across a lagoon that has grown fivefold in under a century. Some reach the sea, and the waves push them back onto the black sand of Diamond Beach a short walk away, where they lie polished and catching the light. Getting there and back is a long day on the road, which is why doing it privately makes a difference. Your group gets a dedicated driver-guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you. There is no group to wait for, no headcount at every stop and no fixed departure called out from the front of a coach. The pace is yours. The lagoon and Diamond Beach are fixed. Alongside them you choose two more stops along the South Coast: Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Dyrhólaey, Reynisfjara black sand beach, Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon or the Sólheimajökull glacier viewpoint. You pick them when you book, and we build the day around them. We stop in the village of Vík for lunch and a proper break, roughly halfway. Your driver-guide drives this road year round and knows what each season allows. If conditions rule out one of your chosen stops on the day, we suggest the nearest alternative. Full details are in the itinerary. Pick-up and drop-off anywhere in the Capital Area, including the cruise terminals, is included. Choose a Private Sedan for 1-3 guests or a Private Van for up to 8 guests. One price per vehicle, not per person.

Good to know
- Your booking
- You will receive your booking confirmation right after you book.
- Please count everyone in your group, including children and infants, as everyone needs their own seat.
- We pick up and drop off at any accommodation in the Capital Area and at the cruise terminals in Reykjavík and Hafnarfjörður. Staying somewhere else? Send us a message before you book and we will gladly help.
- Arriving by cruise ship? We plan the start time and the route around your ship's schedule, so you are back at the port well before all-aboard time. This is a long day, so it works best when your ship stays in port for the whole day or overnight.
- This is one of the longest day tours in Iceland, usually 13-15 hours door to door, with a lot of time in the vehicle.
- In winter daylight is short, so part of the drive is in the dark.
- Walking and accessibility
- This tour involves easy walks on uneven natural paths that can be wet, muddy or icy, so it is not suitable for guests with serious mobility limitations. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.
- If you choose the Sólheimajökull glacier viewpoint, we walk to the edge of the glacier and do not go onto the ice, so no glacier guide or special equipment is needed.
- Beach safety
- At Reynisfjara and Diamond Beach, sneaker waves can run far up the beach without warning. Please stay well back from the water and follow your guide's advice.
- Children
- Children of all ages are welcome. Parents or guardians look after their children during the tour.
