Skaftafell and Jokulsarlon will make this day the highlight of a trip with Private Travel Iceland, our DMC partner. Skaftafell is the biggest National Park in Iceland and offers unbelivable scenery. Jokulsarlon is a huge lagoon with floating icebergs, the brave can take a boat trip to get close to the icebergs. It‘s best to do this luxury day tour while based on the south coast of Iceland.

Svinafellsjokull glacier: A short hike to see the a glacier tongue breathtaking outlet glacier crawl down a valley from the main glacier, Vatnajokull glacier.
Jokulsarlon lagoon: Glacial lagoon with floating icebergs. It recently became the deepest lake in Iceland at over 248 meters (814 ft.) depth as glacial retreat extended its boundaries. The size of the lake has increased fourfold since the 1970s. It is considered as one of the natural wonders of Iceland.
