Jökulsárlón is renowned for its spectacular natural beauty. Here, massive icebergs that have broken off a nearby glacier float on a serene lake. Though the scene is breathtaking when you are standing on the black-sand shore, it is nothing compared to the up-close experience you get on a boat tour.

The boat is an amphibious boat, meaning that you’ll board it on dry land, and then the captain will drive it into the lake. You’ll undoubtedly feel a rush of nervousness when the vessel hits the water, but just know that the boat is totally safe.
