Djúpivogur Shore Excursions

The closest point to Iceland's famous Glacier Lagoon
Djúpivogur Shore Excursions

An hour from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

Djúpivogur is a quiet fishing village on Iceland’s east coast — but don’t let the stillness fool you. This port is your gateway to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, one of the most extraordinary natural sights on earth. Icebergs calve from Europe’s largest glacier directly into a lagoon of deep blue water, and float slowly to a black sand beach beyond. It’s a landscape that looks like it belongs on another planet.

Djúpivogur itself has its own charm — the village is home to the Eggin í Gleðivík sculpture trail, 34 large stone eggs representing local bird species, placed along the harbour’s edge. It’s worth a short walk before or after your excursion.

JÖKULSÁRLÓN GLACIER LAGOON — 80 KM FROM THE PIER

Jökulsárlón is consistently ranked among the most spectacular natural wonders in Europe. Icebergs the size of houses drift silently across a still lagoon fed by Vatnajökull — Europe’s largest glacier. Just beyond the lagoon, Diamond Beach is covered in ice formations that wash up on black volcanic sand like scattered jewels.
