Glacier Lagoon + Diamond Beach + Glacier Hike is a full-day adventure on the road to the photogenic Vatnajökull National Park. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Reykjavík and teach you about the land of ice and fire as you make your way east along the famous Ring Road. Coffee and lunch stops will be made at the cozy coastal town of Vik.

From there, we will head into the national park and hike onto a massive outlet glacier to truly experience the ice below our feet. After a 3-hour glacier hike, we will then drive to the Diamond Beach and Glacier Lagoon, two true wonders of the world where you can witness massive icebergs along the black sand coast. We end the day driving back towards Reykjavík where your guide will drop you off at your hotel.
