Classic Boat Tour
Book your boat tour
It is out of the world experience. You will be able to see the icebergs from safe, closer distance. Also, the tour guide will give you some details about each iceberg and will take your photos in front of the icebergs.

Possibly one of the most unique experiences I’ve had travelling, and I’ve travelled a lot.
This zodiac tour through an iceberg lagoon was surreal, and totally worth it.
The staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. And the landscape felt like it was out of a movie set.
Book it asap.

Definitely do the boat tour! Cheaper and much better than the comparable offer at Jokulsarlon. Very nice and competent staff / boat driver. Ride between the icebergs up to 200m to the edge of the glacier. Nowhere else in Iceland can you get so close to a glacier from a boat!

I lead photographers through Iceland, and today was the first time I ever took a group on a Fjallsarlon iceberg boat tour. I will include this experience for all of my future groups!
Our guide was incredibly informative, personable, patient and adept at making sure each and every one of my photographers got amazing views to photograph.
Superb!!

Great experience and much more intimate than the Jokulsarlon tours. One unforgettable experience!

„Had an amazing experience. Very professional and knowledgeable. We went very near the ice wall, saw a recently toppled iceberg, picked up floating pieces and even ate a piece of it 😁. Recommended 💯
– Avik Pramanik
Breathtaking nature.
The colors of the icebergs and ice floes are so impressive. It left me speechless. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful. Unforgettable and incomparable. 😊

Our tours are a small boat adventure that gives you a rich and personal experience without the crowds. We exclusively sail on zodiacs (small boats), we sail close to icebergs towards the glacier. Fjallsarlon lagoon is simply perfect in size for boat tours. We always sail up to the „glacier wall “as safe as it is to go. The glacier at Fjallsárlón is extremely impressive, we call it the Glacier Giant, as it is massive and steep, you truly understand how small we humans really are. At Jokulsarlon you have a larger amphibian boat option which takes you for a 30-40 min. cruise exploring icebergs and then zodiac boats that sail closer to the glacier, the zodiac tour is longer in duration as the lagoon is bigger and you need to cover more distance on the water. You should also expect a lot more people at Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, as it is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Iceland. We say go to Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and take the photo but join our tours for a more personal and private experience.
The difference between tours is that on our Private Boat Tour you have the boat and your guide exclusively for yourself and therefore more flexibility where and how you sail during the tour. Time duration is the same on the Classic Boat Tour.
