Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach, and South Coast waterfalls in one long day from Reykjavik, with a Northern Lights hunt on the return.
“This was a long excursion but well worth it. The Glaciers and the glacier lagoon in the national park are beautiful (better than some of the glaciers I have seen in Alaska and NZ) and the Diamond Beach is stunning and so 'different' we had not seen anything like it before. Well worth the long journey. We also stopped at 2 waterfalls and an unscheduled stop on the return journey as we spotted the Northen Lights from the coach and took photos, the driver was very accomodating even though we were behind schedule. The tour guide Marianne was excellent and very informative. A lovely day with some beautiful scenery. Highly…”
