Tour Description
Fjallsárlón offers Zodiac Boat Tours on the majestic Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Fjallsárlón is an isolated glacial lagoon in the realm of Vatnajökull. Arriving to the lagoon is like stepping into a dreamlike world that offers spectacular sights. Iceland's tallest volcano, the Öræfajökull glacier, looms above the lagoon and reaches down to the water where icebergs break off into the lake and drift serenely around before melting.
During the tour we will take you on a journey through time and tell you how the local farmers had to struggle with the forces of nature in their daily lives.
We invite you to experience the breathtaking natural scenery as we take you on a guided boat tour along floating icebergs and giant glaciers.
