Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon at Vatnajökull National Park, is an amazing place and an absolutely mind blowing experience. Go on an amphibian boat tour (optional extra), navigating amidst white and blue icebergs, watching the heads of seals chasing fish into the water.
Check out the Diamond Beach at the mouth of the short glacial river where crumbling bits of transparent ice sparkle in the black volcanic sand.

It unveils scenic wonders like the Eldhraun Lava Field, Skaftafell, and Öræfajökull, Iceland's highest peak. Opting for a private tour provides flexibility, enhancing the experience of these picturesque locations.

A very scenic location where you can sometimes catch the late afternoon sun shining through the water. There is also a little food truck there that sells fresh donuts and hot coffee throughout the day. We stop here around 30 minutes.
