About this experience

Your private adventure begins as we pick you up directly from your Reykjavik accommodation. We'll start our journey east, along Iceland's scenic South Coast. First, we'll visit Seljalandsfoss, a unique waterfall you can walk behind. Get ready to take some amazing photos. Next, we'll head to Skógafoss, a powerful waterfall with a tall drop. You can climb to the top for a fantastic view.

Then, we’ll explore the Dyrhólaey peninsula, a beautiful area with cliffs and birdlife. We’ll see the famous rock arch and stunning ocean views. Our next stop is Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, known for its dramatic basalt columns and powerful waves. Please be careful here.

After that, we’ll drive to the highlight of the tour: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Here, you’ll see icebergs of all shapes and sizes floating in the lagoon. You can also visit Diamond Beach, where icebergs wash ashore and sparkle like diamonds on the black sand.

Throughout the day, your private guide will share interesting facts about Iceland's nature and history. You’ll travel in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle, perfect for exploring all these locations. We'll ensure you have plenty of time to take photos and enjoy each stop. At the end of the day, we’ll drive you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Iceland’s stunning landscapes.

Who this is not for

Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 14 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 07:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

We did the Grundarfjordur Snaefellsnes tour (small group for cruises) with Lorenzo. It was fantastic. Lorenzo was a great guide, the scenery spectacular. It was a great taste of the Icelandic West Coast. A fabulous day, thank you.

A brilliant tour with Marcos to the spectacular Dynjandi waterfall and a farm visit. He was witty, friendly and very informative all tour. The coffee and homemade cakes at the farm, plus the adorable horses, were a bonus. Highly recommended 🤩

Lagoons & spas — questions people ask

Is the Blue Lagoon worth it or is it too touristy?

It is busy and it is worth it, once. The water is milky blue from silica, the setting in the Reykjanes lava is unlike anywhere else, and it sits twenty minutes from Keflavík Airport, so it fits an arrival or departure day. Book a time slot in advance; it sells out. If crowds bother you, go early morning or after 20:00. The Secret Lagoon or Fontana on the Golden Circle are calmer and cheaper alternatives.

Can I do the Blue Lagoon on the way to or from the airport?

Yes, and it is the best way to use it. Transfers like IceTransfer's Keflavík to Blue Lagoon to Reykjavík (/experience/1036423/) or the reverse (/experience/1036419/) stop at the lagoon for a few hours with your luggage stored. Allow at least three hours at the lagoon and check that your slot lines up with your flight. Note that the Reykjanes eruptions have closed the lagoon at short notice; check its status before travelling.

What is the difference between the Secret Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon?

The Secret Lagoon at Flúðir is a simple, warm geothermal pool with a bubbling hot spring beside it and basic changing rooms. It is on the Golden Circle, so it slots into a sightseeing day (/experience/17050/, /experience/624446/). The Blue Lagoon is a spa: silica masks, swim-up bar, saunas and a price to match. If you want a soak after a day of waterfalls, Secret Lagoon. If you want the spa day, Blue Lagoon.

Do I have to shower naked before a pool in Iceland?

Yes, at every public pool and most lagoons. Swimwear off, wash thoroughly with soap, swimwear on, then into the water. It is a hygiene rule because Icelandic pools use very little chlorine, and it is taken seriously. Changing rooms are single-sex with open showers; some larger lagoons have a few private cubicles. Nobody looks. It feels odd for thirty seconds and then it does not.
