The Glacier Lagoon (Jökulsárlón), a glacial river lagoon in Iceland, is part of one of the shortest rivers in Iceland, Jökulsá á Breidamerkursandi, which is only 1500 metres (4900 feet) long.

The Glacier lagoon in Iceland is close to highway number one, about 370 km (230 miles) east from Reykjavík and it is told to be one of the greatest wonders of nature in Iceland. This is lagoon is a recent one, the result of a warmer climate. The surface is at sea level and sea water flows into the lagoon at high tide.

Huge blocks of ice constantly break off the glacier, Breidamerkurjokull glacier, and large icebergs from the glacier float on the lagoon. The lagoon is not very wide but up to 250 meters deep which makes it the deepest lake in Iceland . The glacier Breiðamerkurjökull glacier is an outlet of the Vatnajökull glacier.

The Glacier Lagoon in Iceland is the boundary between the settlements of Hrollaugur Rognvaldsson and Þórður Illugi, who stranded his ship there and bought his land from Hrollaugur.

Glacier Lagoon is a famous tourist attraction, and has been seen by more people than other Icelandic sites, but that is due to a part of a James Bond film, Die another day, being filmed there.
We offer exciting boat trips on the glacier lagoon in one of our four amphibian boats. In the tour you sail among the huge icebergs in this unique scenic environment.  In the tour you get to taste the, more than 1,000 year old ice and if you are lucky you might even see some seals.
The tour takes approximately 40 minutes and includes an English speaking guide who explains to you the geology and facts of the lagoon. Our guides talk a variety of languages. However language skills vary between guides so the guide you get might not speak your language.
We do about 35-40 trips a day during high season (1.July – 31. August) There is no schedule for the boat tours however the trips are very frequent, at least one every 30 minutes during high season, outside the high season the trips are still quite frequent.
